Thanx <grin>. Knowing NightRain it will probably be both of the above.
Anyway, I guess I had better introduce me a bit. I'm Quantum <hmm.. big
surprise there right?> I'm 18 on 1st of May, and NightRains main campaign
is my first serious one. I know a fair bit about ShadowRun <as I live in
the same house as my GM it'sd hard to avoid> and I have to say that it's
by far the best roleplaying game I've dealt with. I like the gritty
realism, even if my characters have been in a car tossed around a park by
a cranky dragon after one of the other characters <not mentioning any
names - hey L.L.?> decided to to shoot it's egg. Anyway, I won't rant for
any longer,as there is much more interesting stuff to read and type.

It looks like you're too far away for my TAURUS antiSOCIAL & TEQUILA
SLAM here on the 2nd. It's a tradition of mine to have shots of Tequila
and to make as many of my Taurus friends have some as well. It's the
sixth (2x3 natch) annaversary of my 23 birthday this year. What fun.

No you didn't. And even after you posted about not starting flame
wars. I'll give you one chance to take it back and that's it.

Welcome to our nightmare:-). I'm hardly qualified to give advice, having
only been on the list a total of (hmm *looks at watch*) four months, on
and off, but:

Watch your step. This place can get a little rough.

I joined up just in time for the 'Magic in Society' thread late last
year, and it got rather heated at points. Thought-provoking, definitely
worth 'hearing', and certainly of use, but if I'd known about Gurth's
Stairs (TM) then, I'd've been there in a New York minute. So far, I can
only wonder what I missed during the Christmas holiday... <*Wanders off

Ahhhhh, MC... You whould know better than to take anything I say,
ESPECIALLY my Random OT Generated stuff, seriously...

That line was from a ratrher amusing little piece I found on the net called
"The 25 Laws of Japanese Animation", and let's face it, as much as I love
Robotech and Minmei, she was a Bimbo... That's one of the reasons we love
her so :]
