Thanks, but this still doesn't explain why Gloranthans couldn't use metal plows that are made of bronze, not wood. I remain unconvinced by John Hughes's iron plows, in part for reasons others have covered.
Now that I finally have gopher and ftp access, can someone tell me where the RQ archives are? I vaguely remember the "soda" server was going away.

While I occasionally see complaints like this, they never say what they _do_ want. So what would you find useful in a campaign? Scenario ideas (this is one reason I occasionally post campaign writetups)? NPCs? Towns? GMing tips?
