A few more comments, specific this time.

Thanks for your story. That storyline has kept me on the Digest on those occasions when I'm
Totally iritated with the squabbles. Very nice work, I've seen much worse published in good
pro-zines.

MOB On your point on the 9'th level Paladin versus the normals, yes HW can easily get that way.
Actually it appears to be an integral part of the design, and this has nothing to do with the
much vilified bump-up versus Ords. Starting characters are more at the squire level than
most seem to feel. Perhaps it's just David Dunhams slant though. The rockets go off when a
level of mastery is gained in a generally useful ability. At that point, that character's rate
of advancement far outstrips those lesser mortals. Rolls become safer, so you can make more
of them, without the risk the lesser ones must deal with. Add this to the fact that you can use
points gained with this safe skill to increase totally unrelated skills, something I've always
hated. That is what brought me to RQ and Glorantha in the first place.

Have you designed a Brithini scrypt? If so is it a on a sendable Font. I'd like to see it if so.
Maybe on a Web page?

The line between genious and insanity is a fiction.
