#R:decvax:0:decvax:-15201:37777777600:394 decvax!goutal Aug 1 19:51:00 1983 About initiative between the plate-armored fella with the 2H sword versus the leatherjacket with the dagger -- seems like the Encumbrance concept could handle this quite well, too. As I am at the office at the moment, I can't check my manuals, so I don't remember if AD&D even *has* encumbrance, nor if Runequest uses encumbrance in determining initiative. Just a thot. -- Kenn (decvax!goutal)

Tom;
You should know about not giving candy away, you certainly
never gave us any. Say hi to the gang and don't go spreading
my account name around too much. You could give me a bad
reputation.

Sure. I'd go for trying Traveller PBM (actually PBE Play By E-mail)... -- Dave Taylor

Someone tried a PBE D&D game starting around january. Any word on
how this is going these days? If it isn't, what were the problems?
