As a duck-sympathiser of record, I strongly suggest ducks go into the
basic rulebook. They are one of those races that sets RQ apart. The
presence of Ducks shows that the game is willing to poke fun at itself
once in awhile.

I understand there is a significant contingent of players who think
the whole Duck thing is a farce, and they would like to see Ducks
exterminated from the game. I think Ducks are a perfectly valid,
though misunderstood, race.

I hope to have an article on Ducks published in _Tales of the Reaching
Moon_. Preliminary discussions with David Hall suggest that the ideas
I've got will pass his editorial muster.

So, find some room for the Ducks. I could make an argument for
cutting Aldryami or Mostali, as both these races have less interaction
with humans on a day-to-day basis. But I don't think it will come to
that.

Look for an RQ-Con wrap-up bulletin soon,
