Can't we have both??? Surely if you don't want to read an article you can merely press the "page down" button. I think Peter Maranci's idea of trying to bring some of the older digest ideas back is an excellent one, I'd much prefer to read a description of an ancient holy spot in mid Ralios than to skip through a debate about Cats and Dogs. Not that Cats and Dogs (and other Gloranthan debates I don't particular care about) are any less useful or don't have a place on this list! I'd just prefer more "gameable" material, and don't see why the esoteric can't coexist alongside it.

I'm afraid I'll have to disagree. If something gets posted on the Net it often remains unread, or uncommented on. I even have an example! When I flooded the Digest a while back with a cult write up for my campaign I received feedback that pointed me in the right direction and allowed me to rewrite it completley (this was the St. Orlanth cult BTW). When I posted it on the net, and sent a post here saying it was available, I received no comments.... this might just be that no-one is intrested in St. Orlanth, but I'd prefer to have received *some* comments about it. The reason I don't post any of the statistics, scenarios or more gameable materials for my Otkorion campaign is that I don't believe it would receive any feedback, which is a bit of a downer. I think Nick summed it up perfectly when he wrote:

Post to the Digest! I think there's room for the scholars, the gamers and the people in between.
