Do not bother."There is an inherent contradiction in this sequence that renders the second statement false by default... And so, if someone expressed the wish or desire to try it, it would seem reasonable to assume they could likely find at least one other person to play with.And, to note, Dadaist fiction exists, so there are likewise those who would express the wish to play in a campaign in a campaign without a shred of reason or logic.Also, I am exceedingly tired, as the machine which solves my sleep apnea has been undergoing parts and repairs for some time.I hope that, when I regain some semblance of awakedness, the posts I have posted still resemble a reasonable and rational thing to say. Otherwise, I should have to apologize.I like classic English, by which I mean a pidgin of various formalities that I find appealing and still clear for the understanding.</blockquote>
