Thanks! That's a new one. The other 12 of this series are still to post (all done; just scheduled) but you've managed to add a new one. Not sure when the last contribution to original list was – it's all too possible you've the honour of adding to Famous Last Words for the first time in years – almost certainly in this decade.
Thrilled to hear it!!!!! (I was PC1 in that one.) PC2 is currently playing in a game I'm running. We still haven't let her live it down. She'll be thrilled to hear it's been added! We love this list!!!
wow, glad this is saved for the generations of roleplayers that are still to come. I was afraid this collection was lost forever. I contributed some of these on Gamewyrd. I'm Gilibran. keep this safe for as long as the internet itself.
The good news is that I run a WordPress backup plugin; not that I didn't backup GameWyrd; I'm just sure these backups will be easier to use! That should help keep this collection alive.
Mind you; going to try and upgrade to WordPress 3.0 over the weekend…
