Message: <blockquote data-quote="Funeris" data-source="post: 2541110" data-attributes="member: 22792">Checking in....Okay, folks.  I’m still hoping to have an update on Monday (even though I’ll probably be toiling away my “holiday”).  So, no one seems to have bitten on any of the questions I’ve posted as yet.  I’ve decided to post a new question (and answer my prior two).This was the first question.  The answer is such:  Styg is an abbreviation of Stygia.  Both Stygia and Enoch were cities in the Shadowlands from White Wolf’s Wraith: The Oblivion (the first pencil-paper RPG I ever played).  Good game.  They discontinued it and I left their system.The author is Kurt Vonnegut (IMHO one of the best American authors of all time.  But I like sarcasm and dry with.  Maybe that’s just me).  The novel was TimeQuake, if you’ve never read it, I suggest you pick it up.  His ability to cut through the American façade of “life” with a sharp wit is amazing.  He’s hilarious.  And I love him (in a pure fan-boy kinda way…not that stalker-with-a-protection-order kinda way).   So there.  Now I’ve pimped Anti-Sean’s SH, Spider-Jerusalem’s SH, a discontinued game system and Kurt Vonnegut.  You have this non-exclusive list to fill your time whilst I toil at work and prepare a Story Hour Update.But if that’s not enough to keep you busy, how about a new query?If I had to choose one quote to sum up this campaign (and I usually choose a quote to represent my goals for the over-arching plot which I give to the players in a handout, only I didn’t do it this time…But here it is now).  This is a quote from a children’s book author (and no, its not JKR):As a clue, she [this author] once won a Newbery Award and then also collected the Margaret A. Edwards Award, which honors lifetime contributions to books for young adults.Anyone who recognizes the author wins not one or two cookies, but three.On an aside, its interesting to look backward through time and see how my mind was shaped at an early age and by whom…and to watch that shaping not just affect my personality but the stories I end up telling and creating.  ~Fune</blockquote>
