Reason: Eratically played, because of confusion or conflicting opinion amongst GMs & other players as to what qualifies & what doesn't Not worth the creation of a separate list.

Reply-To: dq@dq.sf.org.nz Hi ya all, I'm back updating my copy of the DQ rulebook. Apart from updating the rules with the latest changes I am working on removing (or atleast hiding being macros) custom formatting. This is to enable conversion to other formats (primarily unformatted text). The standard "release" format will be PDF from me. This will enable people to print stuff off without any difficulty. If anybody is unhappy about this then they come over here and share what will be a thoroughly miserable winter currently looming on the horizon. Everything thing else is going reasonably well and I'll be back in about a year or so. Ta Ross in exciting Acton -- see unsubscribe instructions in message headers --
