I don't know how you folks keep published 'spoilers' from your groups,
but for those who can, I thought I'd try to help keep the secrets...
In the Imperial Encylopedia, in the Referee's section, there is a notation
under Imperial Stationary that describes how Norris essentially forged his
appointment as Archduke... Why is this included, and why here? Is this some
essential seed for future "official" development, or just a strange idea
someone had? It is fairly odd, in that all the published material I have
seen would give the impression that Strephon *would* have made the appointment.
Anyone care to speculate on this? Also, has anyone joined the "History of the
Imperium Working Group" (HIWG)? To what extent is this group's work going to
be incorporated into the "official" universe?
My campaigns (fantasy and now SF) have always been very history oriented, so
these issues are bound to come up in my group...
