I'm glad the other games have some appeal. Even if you don't sign up we ought to get together. Last year Kathleen (RPGnetter coeli) put together a little RPGnet lunch. I'd like to see that become a regular Winter War event.Jeff Rientshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493878980535235896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-1130175829283302162005-10-24T12:43:00.000-05:002005-10-24T12:43:00.000-05:00Hey Jeff,Wasn't trying to put any pressure on you ...Hey Jeff,<BR/><BR/>Wasn't trying to put any pressure on you for a Firefly game...I think I should have phrased it differently. In the sense that the Firefly aspect wasn't nearly as important as an old-school Traveller fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants, wheelin'-dealin', game was...which, given some of your comments regarding the sci-fi stuff you're looking at, you would have done just fine. <BR/><BR/>Regardless, I am going to sign up for the OD&D...should be a blast from the past. Maybe even Risus...<BR/><BR/><BR/>Later,<BR/><BR/>RichRichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06259868994112526101noreply@blogger.com
