Six Degrees of Separation

Alright, just for kicks (and more positive endorsement of RP...hey, look, we¹re not all recluses or cultists) here¹s a prelim list of famous RPers:

Matt Damon
Ben Affleck
Ed Greenwood
Margaret Weis
Tracy Hickman
Terry Pratchett
George Lucas
Steven Spielberg

Now discuss amongst yourselves, then come back and add to the list.

"Innovations and New Directions in MUSH/MUXing" is an online conference that is planned for Thursday, August 6, from 8-11pm US Eastern Time at The Storyteller's Circle MUSH.

** 20 QUESTIONS. OR... THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE **

Ah, the dilemma of an uprooted RPer. How to find a new coterie? How to recruit new, quality players? A post to r.g.f.misc held a deceptively simple solution in the form of a single question:

"So, what was your favorite character ever?"

Then brace yourself. Responses may vary from Combat Twink (run now) to Paradigmatic Pretension (run faster). As the poster put it, "It¹s the most efficient first line of defense I¹ve ever seen for making sure that your game styles mesh."
