Funny, Jenny, RolePlayingTips.com gives ME my weekly fix of GMing ideas as well :-) And I believe that the about.com RPG section is run by Johnn Four, the same person as roleplayingtips.com. Anyways, good luck with your parents. I've found it's pretty tough to knock out the preconceived notions of RPGs as evil from some people; I know that God feels that they can be wonderful tools when used correctly, however, so I trust that your parents will come around eventually :-) I'll send you some of my tips for AMing in a little bit, if you like; indeed, just a few weeks back we had a nice little discussion of good tips for AMing. Anyways, again, I'm glad to have you with us; this list has some great people on it, and I'm sure you'll find some wonderful friends on it, and draw closer to God in the process. May Christ bless you and keep you! David Cole Jenny Silver wrote: > *blushes and waves hello to everyone* Hi hi..
