Oh please stop. Really, 441 lines about the Quest for the Elfsword is interesting, but I'm haven't read any of the QftE stuff, on principle. From where I sit, postings like tht set the net.games.frp group up for deletion. It costs money to send these things, and when the bills get high, people start looking at ways to trim them. Kill "non-technical" groups is the quickest and easiest solution (usually). I enjoy this group for its ideas and discussion, and would hate to lose it due to long postings that really have little purpose. Jim Sullivan

How about putting Elfsword on net.games.pbm ? That sounds like the logical place.

Granted, it was very lengthy, BUT is was also a one shot deal. Most of these postings rarely exceed 2 pages (that's 120 lines for you and me). I seriously doubt that they would cancel the net.games.frp due to ONE larger posting ONE day each week. Everyone who is playing in the campaign at this time; please let me know if you are able to subscribe to net.games.pbm. If you ALL can I will begin to post my updates in this newsgroup from now on. There have been delays in my sending return mail this week (ending 11th), so please hold on. You'll get it as soon as I send it. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- May the Quest for the ElfSword be your ultimate goal in life...
