OK folks, two issues here

I. Rune
Apparently, people were being discouraged / prevented from starting new Rune 
characters, as a new version was 'imminent'. Nothing special in regards to 
this status made it to the June 2000 rulebook. I take it we can announce 
this concept (that several people have mentioned to me) as dead?

I understand that there are a very few 'playtesting' a revised college. What 
happens to these (this?) characters?

II. Binder (see quotes at end of post)
Probationary until April 2001. We need to decide what happens now. I suggest 
a discussion on-list immediately (say over the next week) feel free to pass 
on comments from anyone who doesn't read the list). Hopefully we can come to 
a consensus, and update the rulebook (errata) that will be out at the next 
Guild Meeting accordingly. Confirm decision by vote at Guild Meeting.

Cheers
Errol

2) Statuses of Probationary Colleges.
It was noted that if any of the colleges are voted out that characters
playing those colleges get their time and EP back for reinvestment. Note:
All voting in order (Pass/Abstain/Fail)

ii) Binder
What was the theme of this College? The cosensus was Enchanting Objects.
Should we extend E&E or keep Binder. Binder was perceived to be a good idea
but still needs work. Golems were currently seen to be a problem. It was
reported that Scott has offered to do a version of the College that doesn't
have golems. The question was asked 'Should people who have characters in a
College be working on that College?' It was decided if they want to, let 
them.
Keep the College in any form (7/3/4)
Upgrade the College to full status from probationary (4/1/8)

[From June 2000 Rulebook, Binder college intro]
This College is a probationary College. This
means that this College is under trial for two years
(as of April 1999). All characters that join this
College do so under the understanding that if this
College is deemed unplayable, it may be with-drawn
or radically changed. At that point, all
such characters may have the EP and time spent
in this College refunded, to be re-spent freely in
another College as if that College had been their
original choice.

Re Binder

Not m,uch progress has been made on the re-write.  I intend to have a discussion
version ready by the end of September at the latest.  Apologies for delayus due
to work commitments and other matters.

Scott

If anybody has any ideas other than burn/destroy/get rid of them I would be
interested in looking at them.
