Here's the latest news from David Hall (TotRM). Any reference to I
means David, not me.

Squawkings from Quackford No.4 - Feb 1991
Issue #5
The delays are to do with artwork alone, all articles are typed up
and ready to go. The issue will be a Humakt special with a full cult write
up and related articles. If anyone has any views on the cult please send them
to me.
Issue #6
is hotch-potch city. Made up of articles including Cult of Maran
Gor, designers notes for Daughter of Darkness (next new RQ AH production),
and Carving up Carver (or how Griselda returned to Pavis after the Great
Chart Caper). I hope to print a couple of items from the Gloranthan
Encyclopedia as well.
Issue #7
HeroQuest special. I'm not sure how this will turn out, I may
present a potential rules system, or just try and give guidance on a dIY
system. However I do plan to feature as wide a range of heroquest exmaples
as possible.
Issue #8
Chaos Feature!
As always, I'm on the look out for submissions, especially to the above.
I also need new Rumours, new Gloranthan Holidays, Seven Favourite...
articles (or more brag lines!) and letters. Next issue I'm also going to
be doing my bit for fandom with a fanzine review column, so if you know
of any zines then point them in my direction.
As part of Issue#6 there will be some Pendragon articles. {I have protested
against this - Jamie}. I'm interested how others feel about this.
Ab Chaos #2
The latest news from Chaosium is that a contract has been signed with
Avalon Hill which should pave the way towards some new Gloranthan releases.
In the offing is the Dorastor pack by Sandy Petersen and Cults of Glorantha
from Greg Stafford. In addition Greg mentions that he plans to finish
Arkat's Saga, the Gloranthan novel, later this year for a 1992 release.
Mark Morrison
didn't get the AH RQ editorship, instead Chaosium have employed him
with the responsibility of writing for Stormbringer and CoCthulhu.
RuneQuest Submissions
Nick Atlas (new RQ AH Editor) has asked me to remind everyone that
he is still very keen to receive new submissions, especially Glorantha ones.
Please remember that all RQ submissions should go to him first then they
will be passed on to Greg Stafford (if they're Gloranthan).
The next release will be titled Daughters of Darkness (a Gateway pack)
and should be out very soon.
Sun Country
Another potential release for RQ is by Tales' very own Michael
O'Brien. This is planned to be a scenario book covering the Sun Country
area of Prax. Included in it will be the Garhound Contest and Shield Push
articles from Tales#4, a long version of the Yelmalio Cult and some reprint
stuff from Pavis.
Michaels further adventures of Jaxarte Whyded will continue in
issue five.
Convulsion of the Trillion Tentacles
This is a RPG convention planned for July 1992 at Leicester University
in the UK. It won't be officially launched for a while yet, but I'm mentioning
it because I just happen to be on the committee, and because we hope to get
Greg Stafford as our guest of honour. {again - Jamie!}
An area that we need help with are the proposed dates of Gencon and
Origins in the USA in 1992. When we find out those dates we'll be able to
know for certain if Greg can make it. Anyone help?
Nomad Gods
{ If anyone wants to e-mail David Hall stuff, e-mail it to me as I send
The latest on this is that Clash of Arms have had and idle
conversation or two with the Chaosium people about doing it, but there are
no formal plans or contracts signed.

can be done this way. For subscription cantact David Gadbois in the US.
