Yo Chris.

I haven't been on the boards as much lately, trying to cut down on the phone
bill.  You see I only have a 2400 built-in modem.  And my computer is an old
portable machine with only two double density floppy drives.  But it's enough to
get me connected.

 CM> I'm quite a serious (?) role-player - I'm currently Harax
 CM> Linnormbane, a barbarian warrior

Well Mr. Linnormbane I hope you get to kill plenty of orcs.

 CM> I was actually at QCON - there was a Star Trek space battle game

I know the game you're talking about, it's called StarFleet Battles.  I've
played in once but wasn't that keen on it.  But then that might just be because
I didn't know how to play it properly.  I've never really had the chance to play
rpg's, so I don't
 know if I'd actually like them.


 CM> One showed me his pocket calculator/databank which contained several
 CM> dozen selected Klingon phrases! :-o

I also know the guy you're talking about.  He's a friend of mine called Denis
but he's not as popular as he thinks he is with members of our Star Trek club.
He has burned some bridges.


 CM> I have actually missed quite a lot of B5 recently so I'm not too up
 CM> to date on what has been happening 

You missed B5, I couldn't miss an episode, and even if I did then I always knew
someone else who had taped it, so I seen them all.  This is second season I'm
talking about.  First season wasn't as good as the second and there were a few a
missed in that
 season.


 CM> I don't suppose you've been watching War of the Worlds?

No.  Is it any good?  I heard about it starting but I never made an effort to
watch it.


 CM> I hope you've got some nice rubber wallpaper on your walls 

And a nice long sleeved coat that when I wear, I can hug myself all day.


 CM> btw - are you fixed in to any other echoes?

I also take messages from Discussion of the X-Files on Bartboard.  I saw your
name in there today as I was reading through a mail packet.  I also read through
Hints/Tips for computer gamers.  I mainly read through these but I am gonna get
more involved
especially in the X-files echo.  What about you, what other echoes are you in?

Later.
