Actually I thought she was asking for a gardening implement...
But I was referring to the .de in her e-mail address, Spike, you Brit twit
(ducks into pool shed)... ;-) I think that's a german address, at least as
far as I can recall.
You know, I think they took those commercials off the air here a number of
years ago. I grew up with the damn Jolly Green Giant and now I don't know
if people as young as Wyrmy for example (don't mean to pick on you there)
know who that is or what the commercials were for.
This brings up a point of interest, to me at least. What about
generational gaps in Shadowrun? How would those that were born after the
Awakening and those who can remember the days before 2011 treat each other?
What other sort of obvious generational gaps would there be? Probably the
first VITAS plague and the Crash would be two obvious events, but what else?
Is there any sort of in-game generational gaps in your games? By that I
mean do you have some "old pro" and some "young buck" going at each
other,
in game?
