Here is another revision. I added a brief mention of appeal, and incorporated some other suggestions people made, such as examples of on-topic articles. When making suggestions for improvements, please quote the specific section you think needs to be changed, and please make an attempt to write something you like better.
Procedural details are below.
These diversions often derail previously on-topic threads. The result is that rec.games.frp.misc is rendered unreadable to numerous people who would like to use it for its chartered purpose. The rec.games.frp.moderated newsgroup will offer an alternative for those whose only current option is to leave. This includes discussion of roleplay gaming in general and the discussion of those specific role-playing games that do not have their own moderated newsgroup. Announcements of non-relevant Web pages or services.
