In regard to the discussion of the RQ Encyclopedia, I would also like to throw in my support. I do share some of Nick's misgivings that it could serve as a fascist monolith, but perhaps if we include as a preface the statement that, like Greg, everything in it is wrong, we can lessen the hazard. And, surely if we include statements that the contents are copyright Stafford, etc, then there will be no problems on that score, n'est pas?
Several people have proposed starting points. I would like to point out that there is already a RQ Digest start on this; Volume Six Number Seven consisted of "A Visitor's Guide to Glorantha" by Mark Holsworth, Peter Loft, and Michael O'Brien. I took this myself and augmented it for use in my game; I think it would make an excellent starting core for the work being proposed. It is, as they say, pre-Elder Secrets, so it would need to be updated, but a work of the magnitude proposed will need updates whenever anything official is published.
So, what say Henk. Should this be sent out again, you think? Or maybe we could have a secondary list for work on the "Encyclopedia Glorantha"? It seems to have a good deal of support on the daily, but I could see a tremendous increase in discussion once work gets started on it.
BTW, I really liked David Dunham's "What My Father Told Me" for the Grazers. I'd like to see a lot more of these as well.
