Then I'm lucky! I don't even know what Red Dwarf is... BUT I do
know what White Dwarf is, the house mag from GW :)

My female PCs each have 2 or 3 Starlight dresses. They say
"they look kool" (yeeek!)

Wanna hear about strange characters? (WILD GRIN)

* A tarot-wielding SR (I) mage played by a guy who ACTUALLY
keeps tarots around and draws always DEATH or THE FOOL (and
grins like a crocodile)!
* The aforementioned Secretary, formerly employed by the cat
shaman, that was fired when she exploded a grenade into a
Blackberry cat that was running everyone crazy with sexual
delusions.
* A rigger that was dumped by the ilitary when he went so
fanatic that he fired upon a civilian plane. he now is saving
money to buy a van that has NBC shielding and can travel
underwater (body 8, armor 16....)

And, in case yo wondered about other games too...

* The only Dark-Sun Half-Elf Druid-Bard aka the PC with more
words needed to describe it (and useless too)
* A CoC Investigator named MONGO SMITH who is (was) a madhouse
attendant and always wore one of those cages you see in "Dracula"
around his head.
* Grand final: A WHFRP Duelist with high INI (84), and
high WS, who NEVER, ever won a duel. whenever he started a duel
one on one, the enemy rolled special damage and he was almost
disemboweled instantly.

Yes, methinks whoever coined the phrase "RPGS are menat to have
FUN" never played with pur group. (Ah, and two characters tried
to send each other by mail into the secret base -groan- a bad
Woody Allen gag!) :)

AAAARGH!!!
Stop this obscenity! Never mention that.... Company again....
I thought everybody knew that was a four letter word....
RED DWARF is a british comedy about the crew of the mining ship, Red Dwarf.
In the first episode, "The End", Dave Lister gets put into a stasis pod as
punishment for smuggling on board a pregnant cat. Then, everyone on the ship
dies apart from Lister (who's in stasis) and the Cat (who's shielded from
the radiation in the cargo hold where Lister hid it).

The computer (Holly) finally decides to release Lister from Stasis 3 million
years later, when the radiation levels return to a safe level and creates a
hologram of Listers Bunkmate for company.

Cat has evolved from the can Lister smuggled on board and needs to be
dragged away from every mirror he sees (he's stupidly vain). Rimmer and
Lister hate each other, and Holly is senile.

That's how the series starts. Watch it if you get the chance. It's up the
season six (nearing seven) over here.....--
