What was that about a ransom for the Actual Play podcast? How do I donate to this worthy cause?

I second the use of notes especially in horror games where the fracturing of knowledge increases the tension of the game. Especially if you can make the notes something only the pc will understand so even if they relay the info the rest of the group is still confused.

I third that. One of my players was running a river guide who suffered from periodic amnesia due to drug use. The player did not share this trait with the others. The players were investigating a lost group of archeologists. When they found the first camp and discovered two dead graduate students, I texted the river guide player that the scene looks very familiar and he thinks he killed these kids. It caused a great paranoia and sense of uncertainty in the player that the others picked up on. The group started shattering there and the distrust escalated quickly.

How much should I donate to get the WWI game that you played at GenCon? I check the site regularly in anticipation of seeing that up. I really enjoyed Dig to Victory and the review got me all fired up. Let's hear it

"Weremen and Werewomen have absolutely nothing to do with the concept of werewolves; they're artificial creations of the Alchemists who can absorb just about every kind of energy attack under the sun and discharge it later, as well as turning into solid shadow and teleporting." McClennan

Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / The World of Synnibarr

I was laughing so hard at Tom's butt-puckering response to "The World of Synnibarr" that I had to clear my eyes of tears and look up "Raven McCracken." Wow.

Please, please, please, PLEASE keep your vow of running this and tape your game. And please post an actual play of it.

With reviews like this, I can imagine it will be nothing short of were-awesome!
