To the Jeff Johnsons on the list (indeed, I could also address all the
RUNEQUEST 1, 2 and 3 grognards in the community at large), I need make
only one point clear: fan support of game companies... I'm talking about
the "gotta have everything" mentality... is what separates the Wizards of
the Coasts from the Avalon Hills. As a fan, if you want to see future
product, you *must* buy anything and everything you can lay your hands
upon. If you want material covering Culture X or Region Y, start writing
it yourself and submit it for consideration. Game books like ANAXIAL'S
ROSTER and THUNDER REBELS don't write themselves, and *all* game
companies use freelancers extensively. It is rare that a company has
enough creative energy in-house to do, in its folly, all it set out to
do. In brief: contribute, or quit whining. 'Nuff said.
Apologies for the terse tone...
