@Christian Hoffer - its wonderful to see you writing here!

I adapted this system from a Luke Gearing idea and have been using it for a few weeks. I'm pleased with it so far. It particularly suits a campaign featuring a lot of social interaction. Take a blank table numbered 1 to 20—this is the reputation table. At the end of each adventure (or other...

I've enjoyed the podcast greatly. It complements the more academic histories by giving a lot of the personal stories. I've especially enjoyed hearing from Mary Jo. One thing that has come up several times in the series is how likeable a guy Brian Blume was. The Blumes have tended to be...
