That's right. Four posts in two years. That explains why this group didn't come up when I searched 'Cat23' on the yahoogroups..
So I'm throwing down the gauntlet here. My foot just dragged that line in the sand. I know there's many veteran players who once haunted the Cat that are now enjoying the environs of a more 'elite' group of players. Unfortunately, with your absence it seems that the heart and the soul of Cat-23 has moved on with you.
Now I know you don't know the Trout from Adam, but here I am calling you all out.
I hereby institute my GM Pledge. I will always have at least one game running on this list, and I will forthwith always be playing in at least one game. I challenge all you GM's on this list to meet me in this.
So come on down to my playing field, or come on down to let me know what you think about this brash young upstart. Either way, lets get the Cat-23 community going again. =)
