I'd definitely be up for continuing that game. I know it was only a few sessions, but they were very enjoyable and meeting another larryniven-l lister is always good (I've only met 4 F2F so far and I've been on the list for over 10 years!)

Yeah. Wish I'd had the nouce to patent mp3 players. (Still have jotted musings in a notebook about solid state music players using downloaded digital files from about 20 years ago.(The same notebook with some thoughts on a possible KS RPG by a strange coinkydink! Never got beyond listing stuff that ought to be included: Chaosium did it much better) Kind of an obvious step given digitisation of music: CDs were still new then! Can't have been the only one to think about it; the meme was in the air; just wish I'd done it first. Just been waiting for the tech to catch up :-) I ought to write up that Elephant story that I came up with so I could use him in a RWRPG campaign way back when I ran it. (Though it probably wouldn't hold up to events in RWT and RWC now)

Anyway, cheers Dave for at least having a go at getting something done about perpetuating the game. At least the site info and this list have survived and positive stuff has indeed come from the exercise, so cheers for that as well. Maybe the fat lady hasn't sung just yet :-)
