This is an open invitation for you to subscribe to an online 'Net
newsletter dedicated to (the late) SPI's DragonQuest fantasy role-
playing game.  At this point there is no format, no direction,
not much at all behind this other than a common interest in
sharing information, "house rules," adventures, etc. pertaining to
DragonQuest.

Although there is no specified format for this to work in, I think
ideally it should be a monthly production.  As questions arise, we
can make judgments about the direction for this newsletter to go in.
Your opinions and feedback will be important in helping to determine
the content and direction of this newsletter.  In fact, we'll start
things off with a call for suggestions for the name of this newsletter.
Send your suggestion to:

      psproefr@miamiu.acs.muohio.edu  (Editor/Instigator)

or

      dnadler@wtcpost.daytonoh.ncr.com  (Distribution Coordinator)

Please pass word along to other DQ players you know.  There aren't
too many of us out there any more, and the broader a base we can
establish, the better it will be for everyone.

This is also a call for material.  Anything DQ related: new spells,
magic items, your "house rules," new creatures, adventure ideas
(but for right now, please hold off on full blown adventures)
or anything else that would be of interest to a DQ audience.

Thanks, and look for a February start for the first issue of the
newsletter.

ADMINISTRIVIA
The above was all wonderfully scribed by Phil.  As the newsletter 
administrator, I'll be using this section to let you know of boring 
administrative stuff, for example:

If you receive this message from dnadler@wtcpost.daytonoh.ncr.com (or some 
similar variation), you are 'subscribed' to the newsletter unless I hear 
otherwise.  It's what direct marketing people call 'negative response'.  I'm 
not trying to force the newsletter on people.  Rather, I'm trying to avoid 
confusion.  If you don't want future editions, please let me know.

This is not a fancy automated mailing-list subscriber with ftp sites, etc., 
etc., etc.  It's me, my ten fingers, and an e-mail distribution list.  So, 
if you want to pass this along to someone else and they want to subscribe, 
simply have them drop me an e-mail with an internet address.  I ain't no 
Internet guru, so the address should be as complete as possible.  However, 
there is no need for specific subject lines (yet).

There is nothing preventing you from having "off-line" conversations with 
other people whose address you may see on this list.   As a fellow human 
being, I would like to ask that you don't use this list as a marketing tool 
or for commercial purposes.  Likewise, following standard netiquette would 
be appreciated in on-line or off-line conversations.

Boy, I feel like Phil and I are doing a "good cop / bad cop" routine here 
(me being the bad cop).  Well, all I have to say in closing is "Hey, let's 
be careful out there."   :)
