Re: [RingworldRPG] OT: How Gentily area stood up to Katrina

Sorry to hear this friend. BTW - I've seen good copies go for up to $80 for
RWRPG and companion. Of course, with Larry's signature, you could justify
that price.

But it's good to hear that you're alive and well. I know that it's going to
be painful to replace your RPGs, we all sympathise with you.
