Redwolf's Journal (continued)

I feel the hints of another rant coming on. But before that happens, I think I want to look at something another way - a way I rarely do. Things I Like About Furryfaire: - I enjoy getting a character out to meet and talk with others that I don't know well. It gives me perspectives and information I'm not usually privy to and it lets me show off my own character in turn. There was a time this was a nightly occurance, and I'm a bit saddened it is no longer so. - I enjoy roleplaying with my friends' characters. I do. Really.

It seems a little juvenile to have someone else come by and ask me if I'm married, but so it goes sometimes. On thinking abo

Rifts World Book 10 - Juicer Uprising This RPG expansion book describes fictional (of course) events in a post-apocalyptic/sci-fi/multiversal setting. One particular passage catches my eye (emphasis mine): "The incident that precipitates the whole Uprising is one of those unforeseen events that can change history.

Oh yes, I am amused. ;)
