Why RQ:AIG failed to make it past playtest At the risk of stirring up controversy, I, for one would really like to konw what went on concerning RQ:AiG; I hate teasers and all indications up until the announcement that RQ:AiG was on hold lead some of us (myself included) to believe that great things were going to happen. This I find annoying. > 2. Developing a complete Staff/Vessel system for Sorcery Yes, please. > 3. Format of RQ4 (omnibook etc, I missed Joe's first post on this) Yes, again. > 4. House rules Yes, definitely. I'll be graduating soon; I will probably have time to contribute (while I'm looking for a job... ;->) ------------------------------ From: Paul Snow Date: Fri, 4 Nov 1994 17:08:32 +0000 (GMT) Subject: RQR: Topic to Discuss How Do You Do Everybody, Perhaps a good starting point for discussion here might be a definition of the purpose of this list (as I haven't seen one), a statement of intent to have at the start of the digested version say as is posted in the RQ Daily. I think that this would be useful as a it is nit clear to me how focused on RQ things have to be to qualify for this list. Is PenDragon Pass' version of variable spirit magic out? And what about those rumours of the new Glorantha game? I imagine that it will be designed to be _NOT_ RQ so that Chaosium can publish it. This by definition would mean that it would not be eligible for discussion on a RQ list. So what is allowed? Let me pose this question in another way. What are the core concepts of the RQ system that tie any derivative game to being RQn? Best Wishes Paul Snow PS Will this be digested - weeekly, daily or by 15K chunk or what?

Look on rec.games.frp.announce for it if you didn't see it elsewhere. As for the statement of intent at the start of the Digest, I'm still working on getting the digest working exactly as I want it. Until I can do that the statement of intent will have to wait. > Is PenDragon Pass' version of variable spirit magic out? And what >about those rumours of the new Glorantha game?

Do we really need to answer this? >PS Will this be digested - weeekly, daily or by 15K chunk or what? By 24K chunk with leftovers being sent out daily around 2AM EST (7AM GMT) or sometime near then. - -- +++++++++++++++++++++++23 Loren Miller LOREN@marketing.wharton.upenn.edu I can tell by your shoes that you are a lover of liberty ------------------------------ End of RQ Rules Digest: V1 #2 *****************************
