Okay folks, here's a suggestion for ya. This may strike a few with a strange
nerve, especially Mike and Durand who know what has happened here in Lafalot.

I have a challenge, for EVERYONE (sorry Barbie, I somehow think you are going
to be beyond reach for this).

I could probably, in all honesty, create a run AND run for characters that
were above the 500K range that would work, and work really well. I could opt
to run it this August at GenCon (unofficial game of course ;) It would not
entail a dracoform as a primary villain, or any of the horrors as primary
things either. Immortals may or may not make a guest appearance (come on
guys, I know a few of you have them listed as contacts ;P...

If anyone is interested, give me a notice back. I want to see who's
interested and if they are, if they'll go the distance.

I am NOT talking about a BIG NASTY END OF THE WORLD THING either, but I am
talking about a game that is a challenge to one and all and enjoyable by the
same.

Any takers???

500K? Like 500,000? That's a LOT!!!

<grin>

But seriously... I've only got 475! I can;t play!!! (And with the rate
we play lately, I don't know if we will hit 500...:/ )

Speaking of which, hey Tinner! How much Karma I get for the whole Wendigo
thing that we did over IRC and E-mail? <grin>

Although I had thought we were making Tinner GM at Gen Con?

Well, I thought to start practicing swimming, but I've decided I
won't sacrifice THAT much time just to swim to US, spend a few days
there and swim back...
(Besides, Robin of Locksley had only to swim a through Mediterranean
through Gibraltar and he was almost there... The swim through the
pond would probably be a bit longer than that... ;-//)
