The honorable Mr. Wallace doesn't like Lore Auctions...
- -------------------------------------------------------Actually, I love Lore Auctions. When you pay $1000 to get Greg to your con, it's nice to know that he is happy to help you get some of his travel costs back from the punters who have come to see him. What better way than with a Lore Auction. As long as you don't ask one of the seven forbidden questions (which includes what are the questions he won't answer), you can pester him about whatever you want. HINT: have this early on in the con, otherwise everyone has pestered him for free beforehand...
I have a feeling that part of the discomfort level may come the fact that people hang on his every word (we do tape record the auctions and often they get published) and take what he says as gospel. Ask Greg and he will happily tell you that he is really only expressing his non-binding opinion. Granted, Stafford's words carry a lot of weight with many of the players, but that's not because Greg goes around enforcing his opinion like a tyrant. (although he might roleplay a tyrant in the auction if he thought it was fun and would raise a lot more money for the con) Greg has repeatedly said that Glorantha is ours to develop. If there are fan boys who take his word as LAW and don't have the courage, imagination or motivation to come up with something that expands or modifies what they feel is WRITTEN IN STONE (or was written in 1971), that's their problem.
