Now, that is educational for people playing HW or about to buy HQ. Your 'average gamer' who may have made it this far through the digest, if that is the format of choice.
Jeff again -
>Perhaps this should be a digest topic?
Why? It is in the published rules, or is this list now a large spam exercise for HQ?
Antonio then replies that HQ is not published (although there is much discussion about it in this group named after it, and only 'dedicated fanatics' would have access to it), and HW is what we have, and it deals with mystics. And then says that there are mystics in Glorantha. Okey-dokey with me.
Then Graham Robinson replies -

Ah. I see. So, in this list for an unpublished game we should not discuss the possibilities within the rules it was originally set up to discuss because 'MOST people' do not play mystics. Apparently. I'd be interested in the survey of 'average gamers' that turned this statistic up ...
>This list is intended for topics likely to be of interest to the average
gamer, rather than the
>dedicated fanatic. For those who really want to discuss running oddities in
their campaign, there is >the glorantha digest
(http://www.rpglist.org/mailman/listinfo/glorantha).
And the dedicated fanatics who vet the lists are best placed to judge what is of interest, then? As opposed to those who subscribe and contribute? There were a set of criteria suggested before, involving our-of-print sources, esoterica, etc. I am not sure how part of the HW rules now falls into that set simply because the unpublished-except-to-dedicated-fanatics HQ does not include the rules area in question..
There is a danger of stifling all discussion here - I personally read in preference to contributing (I am probably a sub-average gamer, so I am not sure how much weight my opinion carries), but I am finding that too much of my time has been spent recently reading (or skipping) 'Take it to the Digest' discussions. Like this one.
I better stop or I'll have a digest to myself ... still, I'll be interested to see if this (a) gets to the List and (b) makes a blind bit of difference.
