I'm sure things will pick up when the tempers start to cool. Its a
pity to have lost some productibe listmembers, but hey, we'll recover.

My game is currently plagued by my younger brother and his school
mates, so lots of the attempted atmosphere is lost on them. They're
still pretty new to anything besides hack n slash, so theyre picking
it up.

Ideally, the feel would be somewhere between Neuromancer and Jeff
Noon's "Vurt". That would take some doing, but I'm working on it. I
feel that the possibilities of simsense are way underutilised in most
of the games I've seen and heard of, so I'm poushing that angle at the
moment.
