[UA] Whole buncha responses

The moral here is never get behind on reading the UA list... it'll take you
a month to catch back up again.

>Incidentally... has anyone used the UA system for a non-UA game?

About a year ago I ran "Night Floors" from _Delta Green: Countdown_ using
the UA system.  The players were happy, but I felt like the madness meters
didn't really do so well with the baby-steps towards madness that Tynes's
Hastur Mythos revolves around.
I'm trying it again on Monday night, though, so we'll see.

I just wanted to say that I love this idea, and will probably be stealing
it over the summer or in the fall.

>UA gamemasters...

I think it was James Palmer who said "Nobody gets Foucault's Pendulum
except for literary critics and role-players."

Maybe it's just because I've been playing Civ lately, but I laughed for a
minute and a half after reading this.  <shakes head> You guys.

"We notice that your primitive civilization has not even discovered the
secret of The Invisible Clergy.  We offer this in exchange for Cryptomancy..."

For the kids out there, adult supervision is a good idea. Odds are 
they've already done some stupid things and survived, so they can 
probably save you from a trip to the hospital.
