Ah, the problem that DanDan had (Barker & myself [which is a M:tG Fish by the way]) wasn't approval. Greg said yes straight away and said he was flattered that someone would do a fazine for his company. The problems we encountered was that when we sent the draft to them (so they could give praise/criticism/additional ideas, commercial tips articles etc etc we got no reply). THEN, the AH/Chaosium thing re Glorantha/RQ reared it's ugly head and so we didn't know where we stood in this regard, again we got no clarification of position and so decided that it was best to not get involved for fear of having offending one or other (or both) parties involved.

Sorry Alex, I really couldn't comment. It's not for me to pass judgement on things of this type involving other people (remembering back to certain things said by more than one person approximately 500 digests ago and the RQA announcements).

Go with what Steve says, from what I know it seems to be a fairly accurate outline of the (somewhat still confuzed) situation
