However, I sometimes find that I cannot turn George off in time and end up with some of his dialog as well...</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">John Woo takes care of the combats. Once George sets them up, John Woo handles the details until the combat is over.</li> </ul>I try desperately to channel: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Orson Wells but to be honest, I am not sure where I would want to use him.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Steven King and H.P. Lovecraft but am finally coming to grips with the fact that I need to let others handle the horror DMing</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Isaac Asimov to help me in handling the down-time. Isaac had a way of telling a story completely wrong, and still making it feel right (the man broke every rule of storytelling...but it worked)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">And a whole host of others that it depresses me that I cannot conjur them up in my games</li> </ul></blockquote>
