Despite David Hall offering to increase my salary by a generous 150%*, after 7 years of distributing Tales here in the antipodes, I am ready to hand over to someone else. As of next week, I am leaving the world of elementary school teaching behind and starting a new job. I will however, continue as Associate Editor of Tales and contributor to diverse RMM productions.
Stepping into the breach, Andrew Bean has just rolled up his trouser leg and sworn the bloody oath, done unprintable things to a goat (the RMM 'test of holiness'), received his woggle and his decoder ring... and taken home a car boot-load of Reaching Moon Megacorp stock. In other words, he is taking over the reins as RMM's Australian distributor.
For those of you who don't know him, Andrew is already the Aussie distributor of Codex, RQ Adventures, New Lolin Gospel and the assorted German stuff. You may have come across him at Convulsion '94, and he was one of my tireless RQ Con Down Under co-organisers; those of you who attended will recall him as the tall, bearded guy running around organising such diverse things as the canteen and con t-shirts, all the while sewing his Home of the Bold costume! (for a gander at his prize-winning outfit see the photos at David Dunham's web-site).
Please direct future subscription enquiries to Andrew at:
"zbraun_at_minyos.xx.rmit.EDU.AU"
or
Andrew Bean,
4 Maggie Street
Yarraville, VIC 3013
telephone: (03) 9687-5523
*by-the-way, my current RMM salary is exactly $0.00 per annum
Cheers
MOB

Yes, yes, YES!

Sandy appropriately cites Peter Lorre as an example; another cinematic example might be Alan Rickman's Obadiah Slope in the BBc adaption of Trollope's Barchester Towers.
