The both of us were dissatisfied with the glut of RPG boards and chats and felt it needed a new audience. The thing was, where would we find this audience and how?

I think I'll be watching from the side lines this summer but I may get involved later. But remember: do not take "annoying personality" as a trait to get more points in some other category.

The release can be incredibly beneficial to many areas of life. @ Mark - Get your ass in gear! @ Bob - Stock photo dice, unfortunately, but mine look like the ones you wanted (nyah nyah!). And I think that yes - this level of rpg is going to be revolutionary. The Internet is at a crossroads, and I'm choosing to set down a path never walked to shape the virtual world to the way I want.

If this takes off (and I think it will) you fellas will take RPGs to a whole new level. Yeah, play-by-post has been done before, but not by a community of <i>writers</i>. That, I think, will be the coolest aspect to all of this. Oh, and I don't see a photo credit; whose dice are in the pic? I love the rectangular six-siders. <em>Bob Younce at the Writing Journey's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheWritingJourney/~3/298400837/the-violent-truth-of-branding' rel="nofollow">The Violent Truth of Branding</a></em> You’ve hit it on the head.

really catches my eye – looking forward to it! Retaining the fun in life is one of the most important things one can do…as well as the most difficult to remember.
