Actually, several people on this list might recall Steve Mancini. There was
a list/poster named "Rob Nesius" who was acting as the middle man for Steve's
material and opinions (not always a good place to be btw). Steve's a
super-sharp guy with a super-strong opinion center.

I knew Steve, once upon a time, yes. He was a rock-solid game player with a
versatile mind and scarier sense of timing. He's part of the "Vampires,
Shapers and the 'Token Human' games" I once had (back in first ed, VERY early
second ed).

Yep, that's the stuff. Couldn't remember all that stuff clearly. A bunch of
it I just didn't *want* to remember.
