[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 5224347, member: 29746"] The answer would depend on precisely [B]which[/B] tri-state area you mean- I'm in [B]a[/B] tri-state area, being outside Chicago, but not necessarily [B]your[/B] tri-state area. :) But as for running games online- been there, done that. The entire game this thread is based on, which ran from April 2001 to January 30th, 2010, was done online, in chat rooms on various servers (until we discovered psionics.net, which later became otherworlders and remains that today). Several of the players in those games are people I've never met in person, since they live in (for instance) California, or Britain (yes, we had at least one player from "across the Pond" who stayed up late every Saturday night to play with us), and haven't been to Chicago. That said, there are several players from those games whom I [I]have[/I] met in person, despite their living in California, Vancouver, Massachusetts, and various other scattered places, because back in 2006 the ones with money or who lived within driving distance connived to plan trips to Chicagoland all around one week in June. In between walking trips of Chicago and the museums, among other tourist activities I participated in with them, I ran one Paranoia game session for the ones who could make it (one guy wasn't in town yet at the time) at my apartment. A good time was had by all- but of course, it would [B]have[/B] to be, since Happiness Is Mandatory (heh heh). :] But, the online game is why I still have logs to refer to. Those, combined with a text editor program that has an excellent "Find in Files" search function, are a superb resource that I'm always grateful to have. Other than having various Gods of Death- not the least of which is Azrael, the DR 45 Incarnation of Death- I believe UK's reasoning is that Entropy provides the "universal" force of Death. Certainly, when I referred to the First Ones by abstract "body part" titles, to reference the fact that they're all the underpinnings of the Demiurge, Entropy was nearly always referred to as Death. Time is Structure (or Bones), Fate is Action (or Muscle), Matter is Flesh, Spirit is Voice, Thought is Mind, and Entropy is Doom or Death. The Seventh First One, Evolution, we made the Heart, in the "body metaphor." OTOH, if you want an actual Sidereal specifically [I]named[/I] Death, then I never had one personally- though I believe UK would say that the Old One who rules/is Hades, Thanatos, is supposed to be Death in the Four-Horsemen-of-the-Apocalypse sense.
