As another Australian, I found Mechashef's account of his experience simply appalling. I hope it is atypical even in the Antipodes, but I fear it reflects an increasingly commonplace, if absurd, proclivity for some people to seek out matters to be outraged by. How this complainant ever discovered what Mechashef was looking at on his lap-top, without unnecessarily trawling through all of his other co-workers' online activities, mystifies me! One might have hoped that the ethos of the East German Stasi was confined to the dust bin of history, but you would sadly be wrong... Fair enough, if something genuinely nasty was visible on a screen at work, but spying on your co-workers' rpg reading material, really...?
More seriously, I for one love using evocative images in my gaming sessions. In this regard, the RQG imagery is quite magic, literally. Sure I can spend 5 minutes describing a person or a scene (and I often do), but showing the players a good picture usually draws every one in immediately and helps me cut to the chase. So please stay strong Chaosium, keep up the brilliant art work, and damn the Wowsers!
cheers
