Your check is in the mail. Or do you prefer to be paid in pelts and firesticks?<BR/><BR/>For me, blogging is a way to say stuff without worrying whether it violates some code, a way to think out loud and dare to be dumb, and a way to basically grandstand and control the topic. As I wrote recently, forum discussions have a way of getting driven off-track by the dumbest thing any individual poster says. In my LJ, I can bring up some little point that really matters to me without being concerned that I might be threadjacking, or that my point is going to be lost in a sea of peripheral comments. Oh, it might be lost in a desert of nobody paying attention, but that's okay.Elliot Wilenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100832825053274916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-1160685293952224642006-10-12T15:34:00.000-05:002006-10-12T15:34:00.000-05:00Shit!

I mean, I started off with the typical stuff in the early eighties, and played mostly Champions in the early 90s. I think this insulated me from a lot of the Storyteller GMing advice, which I always tended to more-or-less ignore.<BR/><BR/>That said, I don't have a particular aversion to any of White Wolf's games (except for Vampire), and have recently enjoyed playing Adventure!, Exalted, Wraith, and Mage...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
