This is about 50% true -- when I end up writing about 1/2 of each issue (more in Volume Chaos), other material is going to end up reflecting that. However, I would be disengenuous (sp?) if I didn't say that I am a heavy-handed editor, with a singular vision of Glorantha, and my editorial policy will always reflect that. The more submissions I get, the less each volume will look like a personal-zine (much as the first few volumes of Tales were). But it will always reflect my biases. I always discuss changes with the original authors, and I will leave a good piece unchanged rather than lose it just because it don't quite fit my vision of Glorantha.
Oh, before I forget -- I received a total of three responses to my poll a month ago. For those who have forgotten, I asked whether people felt I should continue to use RQ stats, switch to something like Basic Roleplaying or Pendragon Pass, or what. Two votes were to stay with RQ until/unless a new game comes out. With a 2/3 majority vote, I guess I will. Sure does make Volume Darkness a lot easier, I will admit.
