There is! Such things like 15 numbers. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charles Rivard Sent: Monday, January 16, 2006 3:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: new game from draconis? - Re: audyssey: Recent Events
Just a thought fer ya. You mention a new game about which nothing has been said. There is a market that has, as of yet, been pretty much untouched. I think it would be really cool to see a puzzle oriented game. Maybe working with numbers or something, that we could either take our time to figure out or race a clock as we see fit. Just a suggestion. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh de Lioncourt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 16, 2006 1:28 PM Subject: audyssey: Recent Events > Hello all, > > Disclaimer: The views in this e-mail are the opinions of Josh de > Lioncourt, and do not reflect > the views of Draconis Entertainment or any of its divisions or staff as a > whole or individually. > > I would just like to make a few observations.
