Criticism of Hero Wars products and their content is NOT appropriate for the Glorantha Digest. Discussion of the background, and the implications of new revelations in such products is appropriate. In general, a good guide is discussion here should be of interest to those who have no interest in Hero Wars, but an interest in Glorantha.

This is NOT a good guide to the differences. Both lists should maintain similar levels of politeness, and both should stay on topic. The major difference is how in-depth such discussions are. Hero Wars is intended for introductory or new player questions, the Digest for deeper discussions. Fine detail and philosophy are both appropriate here.
One difference is the tolerance each list has for 'flaming'. The higher tolerance here may give the impression that 'negative' threads are welcome here. This is not the case.
In short, I would not welcome the thread Julian refers to transferring to this forum. If it does, I will be keeping a very close eye on it.
Cheers,
Graham
