UK GenCon for certain: though having been very impressed with the
scenarios you posted on irishgamers, I'd rather have you as a co-GM than
as a player.

Sometimes, sometimes the title changes several times during the writing.
Generally I find myself writing up the scenario equivalent to a "splash

the characters are actually going to be doing for four hours while the
