Not sure if anybody remembers me. I used to use my real name, but that was before placing it in quotes in Google would summon nifty fun articles I wrote about terrorism and stuff. So, anyway, a few months ago, after an 18 year lull, I sat at my computer, and sat, and sat and..boom: Started writing again. I wouldn't call it good. (Reading my old stuff is like reading text written by a witty ghost or stranger). But it's something, and at least it got me gaming again. (5th ed. Needless to say I've already torn the rules to shreds.) I spent around $300 gathering all of the core rulebooks (yeah, I know they're digitally available everywhere, but I like paper.) and then spent another $50 sending them all back. It was too overwhelming. So, for now, I've stuck to the main core and have been running a goofy but fun serial featuring a single PC who barely knows which end of gun you're supposed to hold on to.

So where to from here? I have time to write, but at times so dearly wish I didn't. I occasionally visit my page's grave at the Internet Archive, read the work of a stranger, and wonder if I did resurrect it: Would anybody still stop by to read the creative aneurysms of a shell?

Tell me what you think.

(And please don't use my real name. )
