    Last night while sleeping I had a dream, no not like that Luther King character, more like Stephen King.

    On the TV, I saw the newscaster talk about how Jersey Shore was deserted. The entire cast had walked out into the ocean during this "Storm of the Century" never to be seen again. A single incoherent word written with self-tanning lotion like blood spattered on a wall "CROATOAN"

    When it comes to game rules, I'm an incorrigible tinkerer. I like to figure out why some game rule might have been designed in a particular way and how modifying it, or eliminating it can make my game play better. By better I mean more in tune with what I like in a game.
