	Actually, my players used the skill quite a lot.  Of course I made
it clear through my descriptions how telling tales of the heroic defeat of
some creature improved the morale of the listeners.  I also had some "in the
know" sorts of characters that were actively using tale tellin' as a way of
fighting the reckoners. 
	Of course I also emphasize role playing and the use of non-combat
skills in my games. You should have seen the time my posse was trying to
convince the local town folks to help them defeat a band of outlaws and the
only social skill in the posse was overawe....
