   My first post on the list.

   Hello I'm Scott Adams aka Longshot.

   I've been gaming now for about 13 years since high school when I
   started with Star Trek : Rpg back in 198x something :).  Since then
   I've learned many new systems and rules.  I now about 22 different
   systems and occasionally even get to play in them :).  By far
   my favorite FRP is Powers and Perils.  I lucked up on finding it
   back at a convention in '88 or so by sheer chance it was in a old
   game section or something.  I actually found the perilous lands
   first then sought after the rules.  I've enjoyed it ever since.

   Being a programmer I did alot of character generators for the various
   systems I run from Fringeworthy to Hawkmoon and such.  I did a little
   Random encounter program for P&P which is now on the web site.  I
   would appreciate any and all comments on it.  :)

   I have only unfournately played in one or two p&p games as it would
   seem I'm the only one to run it in Jacksonville, Florida (USA).
   Mostly I've run players and myself through a character in the game
   as all GMs seem to do when they can't play.

   My latest game is a free lance campagin on the Bulletin Board System
   (BBS) I run.  I have four players currently (really 2-6 at any one
   time depending on their time).  They have travelled from Thaliba
   to Sivas, Marentia where the adventure has taken them to the mountains
   south of Sivas in search of a lone lost Dwarf mining camp (which is
   a red herring to another adventure).   We have several warrior npcs,
   3 Dog IIIs, a Pirate (pc), a Faerry magician, Me a Balance wizard,
   A warrior of light weapons (pc), and a Knight of Marentia with a
   total of 9 plus the 3 dogs in the party.  We lost one npc recently
   due to a Demon possession (random event) - had to leave him in
   the fort south of Sivas (which is now ruins but the players don't
   know this :)).  I'm not telnetable but the game is run on a play
   by echomail type basis over my network (AdventureNet).  If anyone
   is rich they could call and play :).  No seriously I could always
   setup something if is even internet email proxy playing.  :)

   About to do a small combat with an Alal.   Nine vs an Alal.  hmmm...
   Also debating whether the Faerry can do a control spell on the demon
   steed...I see no rules against it..

   Anyways, I'm impressed with the new changes to the web site and
   am catching up on the archives of the list.  Just finished the
   september ones last night.

   BTW-any of those nifty maps for the Sivas region :).

   The next post will be a collection of comments on the sept. issues
   of the list by me.
