It would be hard to be more wrong!
"Tales of the Reaching Moon" desperately needs good Gloranthan scenarios written for the RuneQuest game system. We have *never* aimed to discourage such submissions, and at "Meet Tales" and "How to Get Published" panels we routinely *encourage* people to write scenarios in preference to other submissions. "Tales" prints at least one scenario (with tedious rulesy bits and all) in every issue, and they are the hardest things to get hold of.
It's not about "emphasizing roolz" (or not) -- it's about providing stuff people can actually *use* to play games set in Glorantha. Site descriptions, cult writeups or monster stats are all very well, but if you can wrap a good scenario around 'em, we'll be lapping it up and begging you for more!
