OldDrewId comes up with researched detail and preparation of a level that is, well, nearly psychotic (in a good way, Drew, a good way).  All of these places and things are taken straight from our city, the real newspaper headlines, and real people and woven together in such a way that what we do *actually could have happened* in the 'real world'.  All of the history, background, etc of all these weird events are from the actual places and history of our area, and he backs everything up with pictures, detailed handouts, *real* overhead maps, etc, so we are able to fully immerse ourselves and mesh into the actual real world and history of Birmingham.  Here is an example:  in the above story, Joe does the google search for "Scrusy charity donations".  Ok, the character who plays him said one session out of the blue "I'm going to do a google search for "Scrusy charity donations" and see what I get... OldDrewId immediately opens his folder and hands him a color printout of a google screen with the search terms and results of his search, and we all were just floored.  I'm sure Drew was steering us that way a little and expecting it, but by gosh that just impressed the holy heck out of us when he was that good at anticipating it and being prepared for it.   We sometimes do catch him totally off-gaurd by squirrelling off in some obscure tangent, but he usually handles that so smoothly that you dont even notice too much that he had not prepared or anticipated it (although it is sometimes worth the look on his face when we do something like that and he feels the need to come up with an excuse to brainstorm/note-take for a few minutes instead of just saying "hey, I dont have anything for that").  The man is good.  As I said before... the story is really cool, but playing in it is 100 times cooler.Jim / Ledded / Willie Lamar</blockquote>
