Lately rec.games.frp has been getting alot of fictional stories posted to it. In my option these deserve to have their own group. Also people have been posting stuff that is about a specfic campaigns and are lossing the rest of the net in a private conversation which would be ok in this group. Examples: Tower of Tabernak (sp?) and Diana and the what ever characters are involved. -- Aryeh Friedman (tsource) Email: tsource@wet.UUCP or aryeh@cash.ucsc.edu "Weirdness is my business."

Actually, I haven't really seen the volume that would "demand" that a new
group be created.
What I'd like to see is that people who post fiction put the keyword "FICTION"
in their header, so I can modify my kill file more easily. Because, in
general, I don't care one bit about your D&D campaign.
Also remember that alt.prose also exists; should you feel the need to write.

First, these stories come and go. Second, most of the discussions of private campaigns are intelligible if you start reading them from the beginning -- like many conversations, they are incomprehensible when you come in halfway through. Finally, IMHO rec.game.frp still has a nicely manageable volume, and there is no reason to fix what ain't broken. If the volume of the group were way up there, and sifting through the group was a hassle, then I would agree. But things seem pretty much OK to me, right now. I don't see the need to split it up. billo

Whatever you do, please do not put any all-cap words in your headers. They are very annoying. Jeff Stehman
