G. Fried here.
Happy happy happy! Joy joy joy! The dissertation is nearly done, and maybe I can get my RQ campaign jump started again. Finding a JOB is another matter...
Andre from Brasil asks for information on heroquesting. Andre, issue No. 7 of Tales of the Reaching Moon was a "HeroQuest Special". Sorry I don't have the email address for Tales handy, but you probably should find a way to get hold of that issue. Hey, maybe you could be their Latin America distributor ;-)
MOB:
I'm just curious -- is the Stigummay drug perchance inspired by the
Down-Under delicacy of of Wichety (sp?) grubs? A good friend of mine, who is
a little mad, spent several moths a few years back waltzing his matilda
around the outback. This friend was was already mimicking the Praxian
diet (though he would not say so) by developing what he calls
his 'Paleolithic Diet' -- which means that as far as possible, he
endeavors to maintain a diet similar to the probable diet of
paleolithic peoples: fruits, (wild) grains, nuts, range meat when
possible (low fat meat otherwise), roots and tubers,
no milk, no processed anything -- you get the idea. He thinks it's
healthy. It may be.
One particular item in this diet which he discovered down under was the Wichety grub -- a white grub about 3-4 inches long with massive black mandibles. He says the aborigines eat them with relish, and in any case, he said he did -- either raw, or cooked in hot ashes. Apparently, you have to bite the head first if you eat them live, 'cause the mandibles are powerful....
Sounds like good Praxian fare to me!
Hey, maybe you should march that little Roman legion you organized over to the Board of Education and crucify the shmucks who wanted to wack your school.
GF out.
