Thanks for setting me straight on this! 'RQ: Girl's Life' couldn't be any worse than 'Powers and Perils', another of AH's misguided forays into RPGs.

Well, as *RQ: Girl's Life* (the RPG) is obviously placed to revive RQ's flagging fortunes, I'd better do my bit of the rules development:
Stocking Type AP value
Silk 1
Nylon 2
Woolly 3
Kevlar* 15
Monofilament-plastisteel** 85
*not permitted at some of the more conservative ladies' academies
**only available in the planned SF-rules supplement, "RQ: Girl's
Life 40,000K)
[Wow, I had to actually look up "denier" and discovered that apart from it being an old French copper coin worth half a sou, a "denier" is a unit of nylon yarn weight. Of course my wife now tells me that this is how you buy pantyhose, and while she scoffs at my blokey ignorance, she also wonders just what it is I'm doing on the Internet at the moment...]
