I have one post on it's way, but something in our firewall at work is making it take a minute or two to open an NNTP connection, and I hate editing messages in the web poster (no spell check (...)

Thanks for the fast writeup, Frank! And thanks again for running such a great game. I think having a few people around who could handle the "normal" activities of movement and combat meant that when one of us was near contentious happenings, we (...)

Well, I didn't take many pictures, and I don't think we had a web cam in the room, so I won't be able to do a turn by turn re-cap of the game, so I'll just free associate about the game... First off, as has been mentioned before, this was absolutely (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.pirates)
