I knew from their audition form that they lived in the same city as me, but I still wasn't expecting to run into them out and about on a random stretch of sidewalk in an industrial area.
I wheeled around and said hi. They were extremely awkward about it. They'll probably be great on stage. The best actors always seem to be the most awkward in person.

Every accusation is a confession from the far right.
It is it speciality its superpower. Because the few can only recruit the support of the money by lying to them. By lying about danger and by lying about glory.
The few can only rally the many to a defense of a threat or with the prospect of pillage

The game that fascinates me the most *mechanically* is the Hero System, even though I've had few opportunities to run or play it. Compared to many other relatively complex systems it has a real depth and logic to much of it.
