Well, that was fun!
Last night, I went down to Barnes and Noble with my brother (after discovering that my old, favorite Border was out of business. Saaaaaaad. I was very upset. The one at the mall's not good enough! It's laid out all funny, too!). I was going to pick up a copy of the Exalted Core book, but while I was stalling abouit going up to the counter and flipping though a Werewolf: the Forsaken book, some other gamers came up, looking to see if there was a copy of Mutants and Masterminds for sale. It's a d20 book for superheroic type games--the system is actually quite flexible if you're willing to strip out this and that, so it does supers better than you might expect. Well, one thing led to another and we happily chattered away for an hour and a half or so. What really made this neat, though, was that I'd actually heard of these guys and their gaming group, obliquely. They're, if I recall, friends of someone whose LJ I read, and one of the people there was, if not someone I've friended, someone that I've familiar with as we read and comment on the same journals. We didn't get to talk, but I got to meet Musegryph all the same. Awesomesauce!
So I'll go friend said 'gryph now, and get back to my business. Here's to hoping that I get to meet you dOrange folks again at Fandemonium, even if our schedules aren't matching up that I could come over and game with you some time before the move.

Or, if not, maybe we could all arrange a time and place to hang out before you move out? Either way, I hope we do get a chance to meet again!
