I'd like to thank all the people who responded to my post
about Purditory. I've been extremely encouraged by the enthusiasm of
respondents.
Due to popular demand (30 to 40 responses) I'm going to start
posting the Purditory material that I have archived. Each topic will
be represented by one or more posts, and be individually titled. For
example the High Crags might be sent as---
PURDITORY: High Crags &
PURDITORY: High Crags (Discussion)
The discussions are followup posts by the orginal authors or
others in aus.games.roleplay at the time of original post, and which I
thought to save. Unfortunately I didn't always remember to do this :-( .
The following is a list of the Purditory articles I have saved,
their authors, and the current email address of the author where known
(most of these posts are a couple of years old).

Many of the authors are probably still contactable at the
email address to be found attached to the article. I'm sure most would
be only too willing to discuss the topic, and keen to hear people's
opinions or uses for the material, or elaborate upon the topics. In fact
its my hope that these postings will engender the creation of more material
so go ahead and add something or create something totally new.
OK, first I'll post Mark's introduction to Purditory. It basically
set the "ground-rules" for Purditory and will give an idea of the objectives.
After that I'll descend the list posting off material.
I hope you find it useful.
