My girlfriend walks in. "What game is that for?" she asks. "Deadlands," I reply, simplifying. "Oh no! Run away! Run away from the skeletons with cowboy hats!" was her response. Good advice, whether you're a game geek or not...

Date: Tue, 09 Mar 1999 07:44:54 -0600 From: Toadpooka Subject: Re: [DL] Atmosphere Hmmm...the only suggestion I can give you that would help add atmosphere would be to fly your players out to Tombstone for each session. Possibly play in a stable, to get the smell of the old west down. Also, carry two six-shooters on you at all times, and actually`shoot at your players during combat scenes.

Date: Sun, 10 Jan 1999 From: John Higginbotham Subject: The Collected Letters - I've created a monster! This is almost to funny, I've got to share. As most of you know, I've been posting one of my character's journal entries (in the form of letters to her sister) on my web site for several months. All of a sudden, I've started getting e-mail from multiple people asking me if I can verify the historical accuracy of the contents of the letters! If it were one person, or maybe two, I wouldn't be worried, but I've gotten no less than five of these e-mails. After writing back to reassure these fine folks that the letters were a work of fiction. (The dead get up and walk, after all.) I started to wonder how in the world they found the letters in the first place. Somehow or another, the site got registered with Yahoo, but I never submitted it. (On the other hand, I've got a volume of web published poetry that I've submitted, that's never shown up on Yahoo at all.) However it happened, it's the funniest thing that's happened to me all week.

Well, I'm growing up in California and I've taken the course 3 times - 4th,5th, and 9th grades. 4th grade I didn't care, 5th grade I remembered some from the year before (having moved to a completely different district, that's another story), and in 9th grade, not only did I know it, I sold notes on it.

From:IronPen Date:Thu, 7 Jan 1999 Subject: Re: [DEADLANDS] The War of Northern Agression? In a message dated 99-01-07, you write: << << I have no particular educated stance on the issue of why the Dickens the war was fought >> See, now, this is part of your problem. The common conception that the War of Northern Aggression was caused by the writing of Charles Dickens is, in fact, a *mis*conception. The root cause was, in fact, the secret messages hidden inside the works of Edgar Allen Poe and Herman Melville, both 13th- level Adepts of the Ordo Magus Scriptorum, who were conducting an extended Duello Arcanum against each other, and who inevitably drew more secular powers into the conflict....

It's not "Inconvenience City", it's "Disaster". "Stinking Springs" is just a wussy name... [grins] -Isaac
