O.k. FASAMike

just who are the Gaming Police???

for reference, look in the section under "munchkins" in the new SR
Companion. It talks about the Gaming Police that bust in your door when
you are playing B-Tech or E-dawn and start fudging the rules


To the Gaming Police ...
"you'll never take me alive!!!!!"


On a real note
I really like the SR-Companion. I like the new sub-races. The karma
rules are excellent, haven't had time to digest edges and flaws yet though.


Keep it up!!! I cant wait for Rigger V2.0

Voice over.....
"Poor bastard...and they were here to check on how poorly he was playing
Earthdawn..Who thought he was a two game violator. Remember, kids, rules are
just good ideas, they are the law."

The mistake: You missed the word "not" before "just good ideas". Did I
win:)?

Hmmm... I thought there should have been a question mark after the word
"violator" instead of a period.

No no.. an old English teacher of mine always said you should only use
three periods when trailing off like that. Therefor.. he just has to many
periods there.. yes.. hah..

I thought it was the fact that the "Earthdawn.." was the end of a sentance,
but he put in two periods (notice that the following word "who" is
capitalized) thereby hitting the period one too many times.

Don't tell me, after all this time, that I've been using too many full
stops......

Oh, hell, I'm so embarrassed now......
