>Be seeing you...


hehehe come to one of my cthulhu games at gencon or origins
the insanity horror and blonde defenstrations flow freely hehe

but yes running a horror game is not like running d&d
and for me deadlands is sort of like running both...

i guess it doesnt phase me when a character dies personally
i dont feel like my investment was wasted..but i dont get that attacted to a
character...you play for the moment man!
and i have so many other multipersonalities of mine to play with so
if i have fun who cares ?

so come to my games and try me out :)
