[UA] UA lrp (was no subject)

[Royal Minister of Stuff]

My wife's main complaint against boffer RPGs is that
she can't count and swing at the same time.  I
certainly find it to be an enormous problem.

My wife likes boffers well enough, she just doesn't
like the rules, or, more normally, the people
administering them.

"The women are all self centered and spoiled by the
slavering treatment men give them," she points out and
also points out that she likes to whack, not to "play
nice."
