Indeed I would prefer 'topical' digests. However, I find that
I barely have the time to keep the auto-digester running and to
maintain the subscription lists.
So, here I am asking for
Co-Moderators of the RuneQuest Digest.
Anyone can become a co-moderator by sending a discussion summary
to RuneQuest-Digest-Editor@Glorantha.Holland.Sun.COM
On the Subject: line, include the phrase 'Summary:'
and a short description of the topic at hand.
When Summarizing, please delete redundant quotes, instead
include the RQ-ID numbers referred to. Also try to keep
RQ-IDs in numerical order and include original headers.
I will collect these summaries and remail them to the digest
on a regular basis.

Greg Fried here.
Paul:
Very nice illustrations of spontaneous cult formation! I suppose something
similar has happened in my campaign, where the PCs rescued a volcano spirit
and began something that looks like the Lodril cult. For both the players
and the GM, it's really fun to be on hand for the creation of a cult from the
ground up in the gaming-world. It's a major inspiration for real
role-playing! My PCs are engaged in all sorts of esoteric questions, like,
will the cult weapon be axe (empasizing Earth aspects of their cult) or the
spear (as in the official Lodril)? What will be the future requirements for
initiation? How does the cult integrate with other religious practice in the
area? All such questions get role-played. I love it!

To the person with 15+ PCs:
How'd things work out?!
GF out.

I saw that Tales....#10 is out in England: is it available here in
the States yet? And is it still $3 per issue? Thanks.
The camera-ready copy for issue 10 should arrive in a week or so,
and it will take another week to get the copies printed and mailed off
to North American subscribers. Look for your copies towards the end of
the first week in August.
The current price is still US$3.00 an issue. After the initial issue 10
mailing, the subscription price will go up to $4.00 ($5.00 retail.)
Also, my source of cheap photocopying for back issues has dried up, so I
will no longer be selling back issues once my current inventory runs
out.
The Griselda book: I have ordered a limited number of copies. They are
coming by surface mail and should be available in a couple of months.
Pricing will depend on how much it costs to mail the books, but it will
probably be around $12.00.

Yes, something like that. Probably more like Initiates: all adults
Acolytes: must be a parent ; Priest: family patriarch. In what I have
read about Chinese ancestor worship, the most important service a
descendant can provide is a male child, to carry on the family name. I
don't know how patriarchal the Kralorelans are meant to be, so I just
made the requirement a legitimate child, but it is still the basic
prerequisite for higher cult status.
As for the family matriarchs, I'm still trying to find exactly the status
of women in chinese ancestor worship. My sources say that the practice
seems to have arisen from earlier emperors, who worshipped their predecessors
as gods, and it later progressed down the social ladder. One of my sources,
which is an anthropological work on a chinese town in the 1940's, says that
Ancestor worship was more popular amongst the richer families: the poor had
less money and time for them, and perhaps did not want to tell their
ancestors about the current state of their family.

He would simply believe in your lies and find them to be such.

I will be leaving university on the 26th of this month and will be travelling
to China for 5 weeks, and then hopefully will be returning to this debt ridden
country of mine to get myself a wonderful job. I would like to take
this opportunity to state that the rq material that I have collated together
has been placed into 5 documents :
Adventures 73 p.
Areas + Fragments 94 p.
Cults 239 p.
Rules + Systrems 26 p.
Societies + Creatures 63 p.
They have been latexed and the postscript versions are also available for
those who do not want text versions. There are a number of ways in which
I can send you the material :
1: Unix Compressed, uuencoded and split into 2000 line chunks
2: Lharced UUENCODED, split into 2000 line chunks
3: Tarred compressed and uuencoded and split
There are also 2 formats that you can get the material in.
1 : Original latex file (ASCII)
2 : Postscript format (Send direct to the laser printer)
I have not as yet placed these formats onto soda but I will be doing that
later on today in the incomming directory in the Runequest directory
and it is dependent on SHannon to then allow access. I will only be placing
the post script documents there.
For those who already have my original document of 472 pages, all I have done
is seperated out the material into more managable parts. (There is the addition
of Ezroth to the Cults section.)
If I receive stupid requests like 'Send it to me' I will ignore the mail. I
need to know the exact format that you need it in.
All material has been taken from the net and has a disclaimer stating that thre
material is for PERSONAL use only.
If anybody has any questions or wants me to compile the material in another
way....mail me and ask.
Adam
PS: ANybody have a job going within their company for a recent graduate
in Computer Science? Mail me!!!!!

>At last! We've printed something!
TALES OF THE REACHING MOON is available in Australia from me (address below).
At the moment, I have only have a small number of copies of issue #9
available as back issues (actually I've got *one* left), but am expecting
a shipment of the reprinted issue #5's any day now. The Griselda Book
will be available in Australia soon, unless the tea clipper suffers strong
head winds.
The cost for an Australian subscription is still A$16.00 for three issues,
and this includes postage. This will rise very, very soon!
Single issue cost is A$4.50 + A$1.50 postage. Issue #5 is also available
at this price. Please make cheques payable to "Michael O'Brien".
