btw:

it's 12:35 local time im sitting outside listening to Lord Kitchener (calypso) and anticipaiting the upcoming FTF-session tomorrow...

Everything is set up ; HQ is soon on his way, only sad news is that Fieldmarshal DeCorba is not joining us on our annual event, his mother is ill; so our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.

Haven't heard mention of Boot Hill in a long while. Looked for my box in the attic . . no luck though.

I still have my copy. Well thumbed. I have used the combat system at times for TMP. It seemed to work just fine.

And to think, as a kid in high school who played D&D, I wasn't even "in" enough to be part of the "out" crowd...

Can I get an Amen??!!??

When I was in high school, I did not have the luxury of D&D. It had not been invented yet. So I submerged my creative talents (??!!??!!) into coming up with variants for Risk.

Look back a few posts.

Yeah - I think about this too sometimes-people snicker when they hear I play RPGs.

(Their basis for being cooler than me :they DONT play RPGs)

For the longest time I was embarrassed too.

But thankfully I woke up and just started admitting it pretty much all around.

Admittedly ,I do still tend to bring it up reluctantly rather than eagerly .

So sad that or yearly Boathouse sessions are through .(Monday,back to work after the summer,loong time til next sessions..arrgh..)

When we retire GP ,it will be the boathouse every weekend
