My comment about our groups characters was what started this mess. Well,
our games HAVE taken a somewhat non combative bent to them. We have
EXTREMELY well developed personal lives and characterization. Usually,
about one in three game seesions don't even involve dice. We just role play
and have fun...

And for those times when we do need a little combat, there's nothing like a
stroll through the DMZ in chicago...:)
