Though I have no idea what TSOL stands for, I disagree. AH never tried to stop us publishing RQ material in Tales of the Reaching Moon, and even advertised the zine in their publications!

If anything, since the colour issues it's gone up! Look at issue #13: fully 1/3 of the issue is devoted to a RQ3 scenario, stats 'n all. (RQ3 is the default system we're using in the zine, if only because it is familiar to most readers and serves as common ground regardless of what variants people might have in place. And remember, to all our non-English speaking readers, there is *no such thing* as RQ2!)
>>...So, where's the outlet for our RQ creativities?
Well, there's here for a start! Or Tales, or Drastic Rez, or Tradetalk... Or set up your own zine, website or fan publication. No one's trying to stop you; in fact, it seems Chaosium are going out of their way to encourage you. Though, as I said in my other post, ungrateful carping and endless nitpicking is only likely to get us a far less friendly set of guidelines. Shit, what if *actual lawyers* were brought in to write the next set of rules??

David Dunham - I look forward to "Australian Toaster Biscuits' with
Vegemite in a few weeks time! (BTW, I was staying with my other friends in
Seattle a couple of years ago and they were a bit deflated when they bought
these biscuits specially for me and all I said was "Oh yeah, we call them
'English Muffins' at home.")
