[UA] The lamest question I'll ever ask on this list (I promise)

[Gaston Phillips]

You know, I always hate when I /get/ messages like this on a mailing list.

But, so, I've been thinking - I bought UA because I was going to 'port some
of the setting stuff over to Mage for a MUSH I was helping develop.  That
turned into 'rewriting Mage to make it actually UA in disguise.'  Which led,
unsurprisingly, to me telling the MUSH people to go engage in auto-obscenity
and taking my write-ups with me on my way out the (virtual) door.

And now I'm thinking, "You know - it's been three years since I played Table
Top."  Sadly, I don't know any gamers.  I think I'm going to work up an
Underworld game for some of my friends, since I think that's a nice intro to
RPGs and UA is way too... complicated.  As a setting, as a mythology, and as
a concept (First time Gamers, I fear, would have problems inventing their
own skills.  That, and dice are a stigma - the main selling point of UW that
I've been using is, 'It's not geeky - there are no dice!  I promise!'),
it's... it's a game, I think, that's best suited to people capable of making
the kind of pop-culture references and allusions that make the game the
sterling example of PoMo thought in RPGs that it is.

*deep breath*

So, what I'm basically asking is,

    "Is anyone in the NYC area running a UA game that I could maybe sneak
    into?"



Gaston.
