I actually remember 387, I think it was my first game...  I was all of 16
and stupid at the time.

Course now at 22 I imagine im not much better.

I keep intending to jump back into a game, Id like to get into one in around
mid april, Ive got 4 killer papers due in the first week of april and a
contract job that wont end until the first, so my life is pretty fun till
mid april.

Is Bill Highfield still around?

Id really like to get back into playing or GMing games soon though.
