Heh. Never thought of what you guys do outside of SR and posting to the list.
For some reason I assumed everyone here was a computer geek like me. :)

Well, you're right. ;-) I _am_ a computer geek. (ironically enough) I even
work in the CIT department of a university.

The fire stuff is a hobby. (For the moment. Making it into a career is a
slow process)

wore
glasses, had dreadlocks, multiple body piercings and tatoo's, and flailed
about in part time jobs trying to make enough money for ramen...</sarc>

Damn. The secret's out.

(For those that are curious and haven't been scarred by this experience
already, you can go see what I looked like two years ago at the hideously
outdated http://users.arn.net/~remo and scrolling towards the bottom of the

You may need some new glasses... :) I didn't see many ShadowRNners fitting
that description at the last two GenCons...

Don't take this the wrong way, but which one is the "tough
Patrick" picture? (I'd guess ~remo/images/Tommy-Gun.jpg, based on the
premise, "Everyone looks brave holding a machine gun.")

Hey, at least you're more photogenic than me! :) I'm
completely incapable of holding a smile still for a camera.

Oh, umm, yeah.

Well......in a Vampires:TM game I once saw, the storyteller had stuck a
large sign in a potted plant that read,

"Plot Device--Do Not Touch".

I once produced a pack of cards during a game to the runner's great
amusement. The best thing any GM can have is a GM screen; behind it dice
can change result, NPCs can be made capable of putting up a better fight and
plots can change direction in a thought.

There's a "tough Patrick" picture?

Yeah, what he said. I need to find this so I can show it to my players....

I've got an old, beat-up-but-still-functional slimline handheld tape
recorder that gets used as a pocket secretary on occasion (some of my
players using real cell phones for this purpose). Got a couple of old,
realistic-looking cap guns (bought long before they were required to be made
out of irridescent plastic) that occasionally see use. I frequently make
handouts and dossiers and such using MS Publisher and stuff like that.

So...ocasionally.
