Breakdancing on a frictionless Wall of Force someone set up on the floor, robes whirling, one apprentice on the sidelines beatboxing. <br /><br />You know, that would be a neat little convention adventure. Everyone plays an apprentice M-U vying for the favor of an 11th level M-U who just finished his shiny tower.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
