Yup, I've lucked out. Our core group consists of Caric, Rookie and Seth
(not on the mailing list). We've been together about three years and the
guys are into actually role-playing, comic relief at times, and know the
ends and outs of the game enough to help keep things running and let me
focus more on GM duties. It's a good mix.
