After reading this I watched Chris do an interview thursday. During it I was
thinking... yeah, it could work.
Then they handed the phone to Dean Malenko.
Ladies and Gentlemen.. we have a winner!!!
Besides the fact that he is SHORT, the guy has the look, the voice and can project
the attitude that Wolvie requires. Hell, all you'd need for makeup is a bit of
mousse in the hair to give him Wolvie's wings.

Moranis *might* work *if* he's interested in breaking *that far* away
from what he's used to doing. He'd have to be virtually unrecognizable,
though.

Subject: Help w/Creation Workshop
Hello Folks,
I just bought Creation Workshop and am finding it to be quite difficult to
edit some of the formulas. I will admit, I am by no means a computer
expert, and that MIGHT have something to do with it, but some of my buddies
who know more about this sort of thing than I do can't seem to figure out
the changes I want to make either. Does anybody know how I can do the
following?
1) Change the cost of INT from x1 to x2
2) Change the SPD formula from 1+(DEX/10) to (DEX + INT)/10
3) Change characteristic and skill rolls to Characteristic/3 + 7
Any help you provide will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Greetings!
I have recently become interested in the concept of Play-By-EMail RPGs. I
think I would enjoy running one in a Fantasy or Sci-Fi setting.
Has anyone ever published guidelines for gming such a game? How do you
get around the die-rolling difficulties?
I would enjoy hearing from people who have successfully gmed PBEM and how
they solved any resulting problems.

They'd both work if we couldn't find anyone the right size, but they
are both too tall. Benoit is 5'9", and Malenko is 5'10".

I'm looking for an established group in the Puget Sound region. I live in
Puyallup and would be happy to travel as far north as Renton.
Alternately, if anyone wants to start a group based in the above area,
please e-mail me.

I understand all hexes to have a DCV of 3, regardless of whether they're
occupied or empty. :/

Subject: Laser Sabre ???
wooo ha
Hello to everyone =)
I have another player that is designing a character with a sword sabre
he is a Star Wars fan (like me *laugh*) but when we looked at a design for
a laser sabre we was seeking an original idea.
I mean, a Laser Sabre in Star wars can cut almost everything and so
I was thinking about an RKA no range 0 End Double Penetrating
I was thinking : has anyone a different (and more original or better) idea
for it ?
Thank ya all !!!!!!
