I've been reading 'net.games' for quite a while now, but I've nver seen ....frp. What is this group for? And what does 'frp' mean? Also, could anyone clue me in as to what this AD&D thing is that everyone talks about? Is it normal, everyone crowd around the table while the DM puts us thru a dungeon in one night Advanced D&D from TSR Games? Or is it computer-operated? Thanks, Will D.
