Do not include large sections of a message in your reply. Especially not to add "Yeah, I agree" or "No, I disagree." Or be excoriated. If someone writes something good and you want to say "good show" please do. But don't include the whole message you praise. 2. Use an appropriate Subject line. 3. Learn the art of paraphrasing: Don't just quote and comment on a point-by-point basis. When paraphrasing you demonstrate exactly how well you understand the point someone was trying to make. 4. There is no number 4. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: joe@sartar.toppoint.de (Joerg Baumgartner) Date: Sat, 06 Jan 1996 17:18:56 MET Subject: RQ-playtest "archive" Loren Miller > Brad Furst asks: >> Do you know if and where anyone has compiled archives of the mailing list >> "rq-playtest"?

I have collected several Mbytes worth (uncompressed) of messages, but I did edit them somewhat to fit my (thentime) system better. I doubt I can put as much onto my mailbox, unless I convince someone that we put up this list as the official archive. Otherwise, I will be able to make them available for ftp in 1.4 MByte portions at the end of January (provided my system change doesn't cause too much problems). If nobody with more direct net access shows up, I will put them out on my WWW page (which will come out about the same time), and keep each package there for a week. Since I will have to re-edit the messages somewhat, there is the faint possibility that while rereading them I produce something like an index, though in that case the whole procedure will take longer. - -- Joerg Baumgartner joe@toppoint.de ------------------------------ From: Alain_RAMEAU_at_03__paris__tep@internet.total.fr Date: Mon, 08 Jan 96 09:40:11 MET Subject: Fatigue Loss - Freeing Ghosts Answering to Carl-Johan and Nigel. I do not remember the exact rules for Fatigue. However, I play it as follows: when character reachs negative STR+CON FAT, he falls uncounscious, except if he rolls a CON roll (x3 or x5, depending of the action). In addition, as an optional rule, he loses HP instead of FAT unless he rolls CONx1. He recovers from such uncounsciousness only when FAT becomes positive. So I agree with Nigel that using magic may be a fatiguing action, therefore necessitating said CON roll. For ghosts, I recognize that other spells than Free Ghosts (effectively a Daka Fal spell, not Humakt as I wrote) may eventually be used to destroy an enchantment, at GM's discretion. However, I still think that the magic energy to be used shall be very important, as it has to cancel a permanent spell with POW sacrifice. For exemple, the use of a reusable Divine spell to do so could result in the loss of such spell ?
