White Wolf Forum: The Dresden Files

[Mickey Finn]

My girlfriend* just sold some art to Eden games. She refers to them as "Those guys who did that gorgeous Angel RPG," since she doesn't actually play RPGs, just occasionally buys them for the art.

(I did, however, get paid...every single  rulebook in the library was sent to me for research purposes. They didn't ask for them back.)

Lucky bastard!  Those are probably worth some $$$ ... to the right people.

They have pretty covers, but I've yet to run into anyone who wants to run a game in them.

Come to DC.  I've yet to meet White Wolf players who *haven't* wanted to run a game in the new stuff.  The new Wraith in particular has gotten some serious props.

[Mickey Finn]

Must be a North Vrs South thing.

Or hell, I'm in Texas. Could be a stubborn Texas thing.

Wait, you're in the DC area?

Ex-Amber player....

Do you know Sheryl, moved up from Denton, was (or is, who knows?) dating Scott/Random, yadda yadda? Wound up doing encryption for the NSA, or somesuch?

It's a small world, after all....

[iago]

Sheryl, yeah, I lived in the same house as her for a while.  So did Lydia Leong.

[Mickey Finn]

Yep, small world.

She's my ex-roommate.  (Sheryl, not Lydia/Amberyl.)

And to tie it into the thread topic, let's see...AmberMUSH is an old MUSH, and VampMUSH is responsible for the explosion of MUSHes....



...nah, really. I got nuthin'.

Sheryl, yeah, I lived in the same house as her for a while.  So did Lydia Leong.

Actually, I did too, albeit a bit earlier.  Scott-Random-Scott and I were Housemates when she moved up to the area.

Definately a strange little world.

I hope you're not the one spellchecking the game book, rdonoghue, because there is no A in the word definitely. 

[Mickey Finn]

Strangely, Sheryl and I met because we both MUSHed, but not on the same MUSH...I was on Amber, she was on Dune. We just both worked at the Flying Tomato Chicago Style Pizza*. But we started talking.

Later on, I needed a roommate, she needed a place to live. She started playing Amber too, met Scott, and decided to move up with you guys and become a Woman In Black.



*Chicago and Pizza, two connections to Dresden.

No grammar stridency on the boards, please.

And, no, he's not.  Rob types with flippers.

[Mickey Finn]

Is that why he curses your fast fingers?

Come on, there's a story there.

[rdonoghue]

Curiously, it's not my flipper typing that inspired that, so much as events on the various mailing lists we frequent.

Were one to go to the Fate list archives, you would find it full of posts that Iago and I both replied to.  However, you would also find that they were almost always replied to within a minute or three of each other, and his always got there first.  Always.  Dozens and dozens of times.

Something like that happens often enough, and cursing is the only option.

I do think it is a stubborn texas thing. I have not met anyone here who likes the new rules. Although I must admit that when they took changeling out, or at least what I understand they took it out, they kind of lost my intrest. As for mushing I ran out of gas on them after many years of playing. I like my table top still but something about mushes just doesnt sparkle for me anymore.

[Kiriath]

 

Wow. The... original... MUSHes... !

[Mickey Finn]

Sheryl, mentioned above, was on Dune, which I think predates AmberMUSH And Lydia/Amberyl was all over the place, and created the MUSH manual (and I'm sure coded alot as well...I'm not a coder, I'm not sure).

Yeah. We're old young at heart.
