((Its really nice to see that there are actual role-players still left
out there... I am disheartened by the hordes of powergamers out there
that call themselves role-players only because they are playing a
ROLE-PLAYING game...
In the campaign that we are starting this june, we have been
working on our chars since september... developing history, the 20
questions, contacts, family, friends, reasons for 'running, do they
'run?, would they kill, attitudes... I even got bonus karma from my GM
for writing a two-page "ShadowFile" from the corporation that
studied/experimented on my char... I haven't even played the char yet,
and already I have his entire essence defined, understood and ready to
go... its pretty cool...))
