*smiles* Thank you for the vote of confidence. And there is a
standing invite I've posted before. If you find yourself in
Houghton, Michigan, on a weekend ever, you are welcome at my gaming
table. I extend that invite to my critics as well as my fans. And
yes, I do run a tight ship, when it comes to rules and mechanics.
This frees up the group to be flexible when it comes to the part of
the game that really matters. The characters, the story, and the
dynamic nature of the game world.

Sometimes calssified in general terms as the "fog of war"... :)
