*blushes and waves hello to everyone* Hi hi.. I read almost everything in two days.. haven't read the last two gamebooks yet.. it's not THAT much, especially for a RPG (have any of you seen the 7th Sea stuff?). I'm fairly new 'tabletops' (but not online text-based..) if you can call one year of gaming a DBZ once a week for about six months, 7th Sea one a week for about four maybe, and a few others now and again. Thus far, I think this is going to be my favorite - and yesss, I don't have to make my own christian RPG! I think I told you Joe that my parents don't like RPGs, adventure games, whatever they're called. It's really unfortunate that they got hit hard in the campaign against teh aforementioned. I got home and threw the New Player Breifing at dad (who dutifully read it) and challenged him and mom (who's the real anti-RPG person) to sit down and go through the LightRaider Test with me. That could turn out interesting, particularly since I've never really run a game before. *grins* God'll be there helping me out, I know it'll turn out fine. Anyway, any tips for AMing? -Jen P.S. I found this great website!!! http://www.roleplayingtips.com/ About.com also has some cool stuff too! -Jen >From: "Joe Revesz" <joe.revesz@...> >Reply-To: dragonraid@... >To: dragonraid@... >Subject: [DragonRaid] Alive Music Festival wrap-up >Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2001 09:41:46 -0400 > >Wednesday, June 20th through Saturday the 23rd. > >Four days of loud contemporary Christian music, thousands of wet people >walking >by (it rained for part of two days), carnival food (the gyros and steak >sandwiches were especially good), and lots of kids playfully fighting over >Redemption cards. > >Yes, Doug tossed free packs of cards into the expectant crowds.
