Profane rant about email and BCC
@nantucketlit Unfortunately, BCCing too many people all at once looks like spam email to most mail server software monitoring systems (and you'll not ever be able to get around this). For a large mailing list, you would need to migrate to using actual mailing-list software, or mailing-list services that send out one email per user on the list. The days of massive BCC lists are long gone in the past (and never coming back).
@dmcgk Okay, I'll give you that one 😛
@dmcgk Tabard, not apron. Nice colour scheme. (Only know it's a tabard from decades in the SCA :-)

I signed up for a black-market time-travel tour as soon as I heard about them. (The first rule of Time Club etc.)
There’s an hour long pre-mission briefing on how you must be extremely careful in what you say or do as the smallest event could have future-changing consequences.
After that, they give you back your money, admit that there is no time machine, and tell you “now go and do the smallest thing you can to make the future better”.
I’m not even mad.

@SAFCOcast Excellent choice. I heartily endorse that sentiment! (Still have my original 1st Edition Black Box set I got right after GDW first put it on the market... had to mail order it because no game store had it locally)

@outofprintarchive Seeds found in Pharoah's tombs have sprouted after being buried for thousands of years. You'll never know if they'll sprout if you don't try. Edit: though, as mentioned, keeping it all intact as is has value as well :-)

Okay, how did I never hear about the writer line-up in the old Land of the Lost TV series?

@arfisk @nyrath I still have my original 2nd Edition copy, in pretty good shape up on my game shelf. Played it so much I did have to reinforce the folds of the map with cellophane tape. Have a large collection of Metagmes, and picked up a few reprints that I didn't have in a crowd funded run by Steve Jackson a few years back.
