Heh.  Wait until you see the rules for riots in the Sleepers book.  I
actually modeled them on the L.A. riots.  Incidentally, my math indicated
that something like 44,000 people in L.A. must have been watching TV when
the verdict came out.  Any idea if that figure's high or low?

Just so you know, the intent of the rules is to give GMs a real good reason
for the Sleepers to do what they do.  For example, demonstrating that
magick is indisputably real in front of 2,000 people is really, really
dangerous.  Not just to you, but to the city in which the demonstration
occurs.

-G.
It's an honor just to be nominated.
