Just to remind you all. . .
Just when you thought it was safe to discuss magic. . .
They're coming, and they want to ruin your game-balance
Naught but magic can stop them. . .
No, not the eternal elipses. . .

THE RETURN OF THE DEAD ZONES
As promised, I will write these up with, hopefully, a more
acceptable explanation, whi is what many people complained about
before. And if you don't like them or find them unneccesary, don't
use them. For the remaining two of you, I hope you enjoy them. I bring
this up only because I'll submit it to the TOSA.

This is my main problem. If you can satisfactorily explain this phenomena
then do so. Rememver, the world will be watching you (Not a threat, but a
warning that your explanation had better br logical and consistant or I
will dig up my fusion torch to flame the topic and my giant sized
extendONerf bat to Thwap like Thwappin is goin outta style)

But what do I do if I go to a convention and sign up for the game only to
find that the main point of the plot is a Dead Zone? This would really
tick me off.

I'm sorry that I am still harping on the subject but these Dead Zones are
plot devices that should be dissasembled.
