My god, Doug, did you do this since getting home from the game tonight? It's 
three in the morning, and you so sick!

Mind you, I'm still up, and I'm working at eight. But I've had 200ish 
Dragonlance D&D3e posts to read through. If only I were paid for the writing 
I've done for 3e DL...

Uh... vague UA relevance...

Roleplayers are a somewhat obscure subculture that could be quite amusing in 
the OU, if handled properly. I don't think that rpg rulebooks actually have 
rituals or occult truths in them in the UAverse (that would be kinda trite) 
but there could be a couple of clueless cabals that include a gamer or two. 
The Lone Gunmen from the X-Files are an example.

Something that I thought would be fun would be to take groups such as BADD 
and MADD and imagine that they are actually fronts for clued-in cabals that 
are directing attention away from the *true* occult underground. Perhaps 
Chick is a Sleeper!


Cheers,
