chipmunck and kathrynt! I keep running into Chad on my way in to work in the mornings; it seems he catches the 545 from the same place I do downtown, though he gets off at a later point on the route than I do.
He sat with me on the bus this morning, though, and we had a pleasant chat about roleplaying games. He showed me the manual for a game he's currently all excited about: Blue Rose, which is all about romantic fantasy RPG but which includes pictures of pretty queer boys embracing in the artwork. Hee. Shades of Mercedes Lackey and the Vanyel books. Also, he showed me the RPG book he himself worked on: Spycraft: Dark Inheritance.
I told him he was the second person I knew working on gaming systems, and when I said the words "Rebecca Borgstorm" he lit right up. (I mention THIS, of course, for the benefit ofrisu, whose work on the Fair Folk book for Exalted he especially admired.) And, of course, I had to mention jesshartley's Exalted novel. He was reading the first in the same series in which her novel appears, and he perked up when I told him I knew the person who'd written the third book in the series!
All of this makes me want to do some gaming myself. It's been too long. Especially now that I'm not MUSHing anymore. :)
