[pnpgm] Game Update #98 - File #389 - Art of Influence

[Wout Broere]

Scott, there is a short answer. "This game keeps me sane." The not much 
longer answer is that although I sometimes drop out for a time and have 
to rush myself really to read six or seven updates at a time and then 
reply only to the last one in style with what Unali would have done (and 
what you hae always perfectly dubbed in already), I do hugely appreciate 
this game and all the effort you put in. Personal life and the time 
spent on building a career keeps me away from the table-top game we ran 
for two decades at home. Still, RPGs are an essential part of life and 
through this game I get that experience.

Besides, Unali (and Dr. Zovaster, the table-top game Chaos Wizard/your 
friendly neighbourhood healer that you don't want to meet) have become 
part of me in a way. I am not ready to part with them.

If you can keep up, I will do all I can as well. It will not always e 
enough in my view at least, but I will try. (Now I don't feel I should 
have an opinion on the schedule, 2x week or once a week only, but I do 
like the 2x week schedule even if I don't always/mostly get to adhere to it.

My view. And as to travelling: Greetings in this case from Seoul, where 
it is past midnight and the hotel is ridiculously expensive. almost 60 
US$ for a pizza. Luckily I only have to stay here for 3 days.
