[QUOTE="pming, post: 7957603, member: 45197"] Hiya! The only silver lining I can see coming from this (I'm trying to be a "glass half-full" guy here...) is that less RPG stuff will result in more DM's using their own imaginations and making their own stuff up, and more Players suggesting ideas for new spells, races, abilities, etc that they think would be cool to roleplay with. What sucks the most, to me, is knowing that there are families of "commoners" who are getting hit hard; the designer? Sure. The owner? Yup. But who I always think of is the other folks. The ones behind the scenes. The secretary who handles all the orders that come in. The warehouse workers who pick stuff out and package them up for shipment. The delivery driver who drops off 50lb boxes of books/comics/toys to the stores all day long. Those people are just as important as the store owners and the writers/designers/artists. I hope they all manage to come out of this thing alive (quite literally, in this case I guess). :( So..CHEERS! To the unsung heroes that lurk in the shadows, keeping the gears of RPG'ing and general geekdom alive! 🍻😎 ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
