I think that a FAQ is a good idea. I try and maintain most of the information that you mention on soda, but having short bits on each of them in one easy to get place would probably be useful. You just need to get someone willing to put it together and maintain it. Once a FAQ is complete, it could regularly be posted to rec.games.frp.archives as well, to provide people who don't read the RQ Digest with all the info on RuneQuest.

soda is meant to be the main RQ FTP site. I don't know of any sources that include anything that it doesn't. If anyone _is_ aware of anything, please let me know. I'd be happy to add the appropriate files to soda.
