... Nipped the bulk, but you'll find no argument here, and in fact, only vigorous agreement. My point was merely that chasms _can_ be remarkably unfun. I...
I am sure this is a question that has been asked and answered many times before, but i cant seem to find the answer. When do the new core fate rules come out,...

... I have a pdf of cool Firefly info that I got somewhere off the web. If you want it, send me an email. I want to do a game with it, but my players aren't...
