People start having thoughts of large pumpkin pie? :-)

What I want to know about this current illusion topic is what people are
trying to achieve? Is there a desire for *everyone* to see the illusion
or just a few people? I must have missed the first part of this...

IMHO, a person carries enough of astral space with him in the form of his

Then you get an area of a few square metres that looks like a pumpkin
to people that don't see through the illusion.

Sorry about that.

As the world moves into the information age, every effort must be made to

All I know is that I output it to a postscript, I can print it ont he

small to read though).

I hoped it would be universal.

Message no. 10 > Has ANYONE gotten ShadowLore to work?

I tried it at home; I could preview it with ghostview (ghostscript),
but apart from the NERPS title page (splines, I assume), all the
following pages used a default font, so the text widths were always
wrong. It also threw up a panel showing me the `serial' output
from the file (lots of %%|0|%%, I seem to recall), which means the
PS code was doing something silly.

I then tried to print it on my Texas Instruments (Adobe PostScript)
printer, and that rejected the file.

Again, I'd say the fault lies with Microsoft Word: lousy PostScript.
On the plus side, the RTF that early versions of MS Word produce
should be quite portable (since the format has had plenty of time to be
interpreted).

By the way, these sorts of problems are _common_ with PostScript.
But there (certainly?) are applications that generate robust, portable
PS. Its just that there are lots more that don't.

That's amazing. Here in Maryland, it snowed the night before T'giving.
Minnesota got snow after MARYLAND.

You called that _snow?_ Well, I guess it was, technically -- it
just didn't stick to anything. The air outside the Shadowy Think Tank's
balcony didn't even smell like snow; more like rain and carbon monoxide.
Rumour has it we'll get snow tonight, but by that time this thread
will have passed its 24-hour limit (remember, any off-topic thread has to
die out in about 24 hours or our Fearless Leader gets annoyed), so I won't

Hm. Ten miles north, in Germantown, they got nearly an inch... and a
snow-related accident. Probably someone like me driving along, head out
the window, slackjawed, staring up into the night sky, going,
"Mmmm...snooow..." And then another motorist is rude enough to stop at a
red light right in my way.

Don't even get me started on snow today...
When I went to work at 9 this morning there wasn't a flake to be seen,
and on my way home.. I got stuck twice in the white stuff(all 12 inches
of it) and that was at 5!.

There should be a law against that much snow in one day.

Message no. 22 My utmost apologies for the delays in Edge Runners. Most of you have
probably already forgotten about it, it's taken me so damn long. The
actual text of it has been done for about two weeks now, but I am having
two problems.

1) I am in the middle of a major round of midterms. Since I am trying
to graduate this semester, tests are something I actually have to worry
about. Spring Break is coming up in a week though, so I'll get some free
time then to copy and mail out the hard copies.

2) My mail server is...the hell if I know, I just know hhow to use
e-mail. It's dropping my attached file for Edge Runners, so I can't
currently send it anywhere, until I figure out what the hell is wrong.
And my server is pretty lame, so ftp'ing is difficult, if not
impossible. I will see what I can do, and if worse comes to worse, I
will entreat the Great Cornholio for assistance to get it out there to
you guys. He's got AOL so he shouldn';t have the problems I am.

Thanks for your time and patience, I hope to end my frustration soon.

In the sprawl, the nasty sprawl,

Hehehehehehe...

I can remember my first encounter with a wendigo, actually there were
about half a dozen. I was a rigger, we had a decker, a mage, and three
sammies. We were heading cross country (heading for a small town, needed
to lay low), and I offered to drive everyone in my armoured van. The
decker and the mage accepted, but the three sammies wouldn't be caught
dead in my beat up old van, so one of them had bought (or stolen, can't
remember, and not that my character would ask) a brand new, bright red,
4x4 half-ton.

We stopped in a small town, round noon, and noticed that it was almost
empty, nothing in it except for a few starving dogs, and a couple of
really thin, really scared human, who ran off when we approached. So,
figuring no one would care, we picked an empty house as ours, and decided
to make this town our hidey hole. At dusk is when all the really wierd
things happened. Seems as though some of the population of the town had
caught HMHVV, and these unfortunates came for us in the night. We barely
(very barely) made it to our vehicles, and we tore off into the night,
heading for the open highway...to be met by six wendigos, which ambushed
us. Now my van was armoured, so I had enough time to deply my turreted
light machine gun (which didn't kill them, but peeled them off of my van).

Now, the little red pickup wasn't armoured, or armed (except for the
sammies), and when I saw the drivers door torn off, I had to stop and
help...man, the wendigos could have made an excellent F1 pit crew, cause
they stipped that truck to almost nothing, in no time...

Lets just say that our party stayed in the big city for a long, long time,
before heading out into the country again...

Sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh:) It's a bad habit of mine. In any
case, Bull, look on the bright side: you're still alive! (Okay, if you
want to nit-pick, I guess you're undead:) And you can start taking Magic
lessons now:) And you can get recipes from the Mantids:):):) And there
are worse things, at least the wendigos are sentient (something that
can't be said about all vamps:) Of course, there's the small matter of a
there being a bounty on your head...

Question: if you're turning into a Wendigo, will your smiley and .sig
change to reflect it:)

Hey its not my fault. You are better of with the wendigo thing
opposed to some other ideas mine inclusive.
And if its true you got some LONG time goal to get rid of the HMHVV
you can become a figure of legend by finding a cure.
So good luck to you.

[snip Wendigo song :) and story]

Yeah, mix one wendigo, a "tribe" of Dour (little halfling sized, awakened
primates - borderline sentient, see PAoNA) and the sewers... Oh, and
don't forget the Cthulhu-inspired totem that the Wendigo followed. The
result is the run-in that my group had with a wendigo.

What started out as a simple meet with a contact, turned into something
QUITE different.
They were supposed to meet this guy at bar in the barrens (original
huh?), and after about two hours of waiting they started getting a bit
suspicious... after asking around they found some degenerate squatter who
knew something (of course given his stuttering, and attention problem it
took them a while to get it out of him) and led them to the guy's car
where he saw "a bunch of lil' fragger's jump 'im.." Using detection
spells and stuff the search headed into the sewers and into the dour's
territory (and the traps that come with it... one PC nearly drowned when
he got his leg caught in a spiked hole.). Eventually they came to the
center... still not seeing anything other than motions in the shadows,
just out of sight. And after getting a look at this very bizarre
statue... things started coming out of the wood-work, literally. The
wendigo controlled tribe of dour came out of every knook and cranny from
all sides... along with some protean-like spirits. They barely made it
out alive. I don't think one PC will ever go near a hairy ork ever
again, after he fatally (or so he thought - ain't regen cool) impaled it
with a Halberd (don't ask why he had it... I don't remember) and it
pulled the halberd out and flung him (still holding on to the other end)
across the cavern. After which, only the heavy application of flamebombs
enabled them to escape. They have know idea if the cult is still alive
or not, and are a bit more cautious when it comes to the barrens... and
down one contact.

Hey, maybe that Salonist would be a good idea after all. I mean, he can give
you lessons on how to part your new hair as it comes in all...
