Which "people" want RQ and Gloranthan together Brian? I suppose its all=
those people who COMPLETELY failed to buy RQ in quantiy at any time after=
AH took it over???? The same "people" who buy Vampire and Werewolf and
have gone for story telling games over simulational games???? Have yo=
u
tried the new game? =
RQ and Glorantha are no longer married, why are you complaining about something that cannot change? RQ is DEAD, Hero Wars is a new game, no connection and a lot of potential so why kick something before its even been born?
I love RQ as a system but as a simulation of Glorantha it misses the mark= =2E =
Not by much, but by enough to make a difference. I can tell you that the=
Hero Wars game does NOT miss the mark. As a representation of Glorantha =
it
will kick butt and Robin Laws has LOADED it with examples of how to play.=
=
Its simple to learn and not overcrowed with detail. I think if anything can give Glorantha to new players, its this game. =
As for fan support "dwindling" this is a pile of poo. Tales #17 just cam=

books are out or just to be published including the excellent Questlines =

con book - Tentacles as well!! Stephen Martin will be putting out
Drastic - Darkness soon too! Once the HW game is up an running I expect=

What the hell are you talking about? I don't think any mainstream game h=

even a fraction of the fan support and publication of Glorantha.
As for people not writing in, I've communicated with Sandy for three year=

hell of a help for people and the digest would be a duller place without

I like a good fight, and hey, sometimes, on really rare occasions, I'm
wrong and deserve derision. Besides, don't see you writing in much
Brian...
_I_ don't write in much anymore because my email gets garbled by compuserve, just like this one will and it really pisses me off.
Basically Brian, I'm saying don't be so doom and gloom. If you think tha=

Glorantha dies with RQ - Fine - but I think there is evidence to the
contrary, take a look.
