Indeed!Originally Posted by Hrugga
It's starting out quite well; with the Missus getting her biopsy results back - negative, we are delighted to say, and a lot of worry and stress taken away from us. Had a great time last night, with lots of old friends and their kids, and sparkling wit in the brilliant conversation. We enjoyed ourselves, we did.
Ahhh Uncle, We are most pleased to hear it!!! All the best to you and yours!!! And to all of those here as well!!!Indeed!

PS Last nights wishes were done in the same "spirits"(though quickly)...!!!
Happy New Year!
Unfashionable? I dare say not, it has just been incorporated into all genres for all I can tell. And yes, it's even where it doesn't fit at all.
The keyword they use today is "cinematic"...
Glad to hear that, Uncle, especially the health results!Indeed!

Also, it's far more noble to have fun than to worry about ignobly stupid people, I keep saying!
"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward." - Rocky
Thank you, and the same best wishes for you, as well!
Yes, we're pretty happy, and there's a lot of stress and worry gone. Regular check-ups needed, of course, but it's a lot quieter around here...
That's interesting; I've always played in a certain 'cinematic' style, and what we called 'swashbuckling' play was a part of that.Happy New Year!

I'm still learning the modern usages of the words, of course; what I think they mean seems, on occasion, not to have the same meaning for modern gamers.
Thank you - we're pretty relieved! And yes, avoiding stupid people - which I've been doing for the past year - has made our lives here much, much better. And nice and quiet, too...
Yeah, Uncle, but the difference is, today there's way too many people that refuse trying those same things unless they're sure the characters wouldn't die from it...That's interesting; I've always played in a certain 'cinematic' style, and what we called 'swashbuckling' play was a part of that.

Anyway, glad you're having some calm times. Now for a question both you and Gronan might have some fun answering...
Would you please look over at those books here? Then tell us whether you know the authors and whether it looks like a serious research?

Shrug. Never heard of the guy.
I don't care if you respect me, just buy my fucking book.

I don't need an Ignore List, I need a Tongue My Pee Hole list.
The rules can't cure stupid, and the rules can't cure asshole.
Which I find odd; we were always very aware of the fact that we were risking our PCs lives all the time, and so tended to do 'risk evaluations' all the time as well.Yeah, Uncle, but the difference is, today there's way too many people that refuse trying those same things unless they're sure the characters wouldn't die from it...
Same as Gronan; never heard of the guy. I have heard of the two books; the local Arnesonians are apparently peeved that they were not intereviewed by this guy for his books. I read the liner notes, and it looks like yet another guy who has gone to Lake Geneva for his information; as well as doing some pretty good trawling through the published sources for information. No idea if it's the usual third-hand' "I talked to somebody who talked to Gary" kind of thing.Anyway, glad you're having some calm times.

Personally, I prefer my information from primary and/or first hand sources. (Which is why I have a basement full of first-hand crap.) So I can't speak to the reliability of these two books, sorry.
