>About a Gloranthan Novice List: there's no need, really.
I agree with you about the novice list. I think it would be better to do a novice magazine instead of a novice list. Therefore we, the Chaos Society, try to do with Tradetalk such a magazine.

I think this would be not the opinion of many about discussion. IMO the digest is a gloranthan discussion forum where many gloranthapiles could exchange their thoughts about their view of things about about Glorantha. Okay, I understand that most of these long version discussion are very boring. But only with such open discussion you will get a opinion of many about a special theme. I have done this form of discussion some time ago with Peter Metcalfe and some others about the Boristi. As a result I have written an article about the Boristi for Tradetalk # 2. Without this long version discussion I would have been unable to do so.

I think it is difficult to expect only good stuff on such digest. The good
stuff should end in one of the known magazines like ToRM, Codex, RQA and
last not least Tradetalk, but not only on this digest. If you expect only
perfect stuff, then tell me what is about all the novice who made their mind
up about trivial Gloranthan things on the digest which is known by everybody
who are playing on Glorantha for years.
The discussion are stunning, that is true, but they are part of this digest as it should be.
cheers
