A sales pitch (which originally appeared in issue #5 of TALES OF THE REACHING
MOON) from MOB.
The New Stafford Compendium was compiled by the TALES OF THE REACHING MOON
staff for the Conjunction convention in July 1990. It is a compendium listing
*everything* Greg Stafford has ever written. There are still a few copies
available.
Here's what the critics said:
"A vital reference for those interested in the mating habits of the Praxian
lesser flanged mudwort." - Llonquist Goodwrite, Sage of Lhankor Mhy.
"I thought the Maidstone Archers were a stonemason's cult specializing in the
creation of doorways until I read the New Stafford Compendium." - Ranulph the
Render, Hand of Than.
This remarkable work is ONLY available from your local TALES megacorp rep, at
the knockdown price of #1.50 + 20p postage (UK). Other currency prices on
application. Addresses for TALES OF THE REACHING MOON appeared in *Andrew!
please insert vol. no. here*

Subject: "I'm so tough I..."
Compiled by Michael "Never Eat Vegetables, Except Elves" O'Brien.
These boasts appeared in Issue #4 of Tales of the Reaching Moon, the RuneQuest
magazine, adorned with suitably tasteless illustrations by the talented Mark
Baldwin. (Unfortunately, we can't depict the illos here (you'll just have to go
buy the magazine!) The "I'm so tough I...." entries were so well-received we
would like to make them a regular feature of the zine. So, I am inviting all
you RuneQuest Digest readers out there to send me your own boasts. The best
will feature in forthcoming issues of MOON, replete with a Mark Baldwin pic.
"I'm so tough I...." entries can reach me through Tim Leask via Internet
tsl@cs.mu.oz.au .
