Re: [Audyssey] Sryth was: Q Nine Instructions
Hi Bryan. You must've started Sryth slightly earlier than I did, as I first began in january of 2005. I admit I was probably a litle too strong in my E-mail, I just am rather sorry to see a game I've had so much fun with become rather grasping as I believe it has. Ce I am enjoying a lot, but I tend to like exploration so it sutes me. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Sryth was: Q Nine Instructions
Well I'm not the GM, but if I know him he'll give any criticisms or whatnot that you send him their due consideration. To be quite frank I think the real problem is those people, few though they may be, who donate so much that they're able to buyevery high-end item Tallys' offers, then level up all skills and powers to 100 on the same go. Then they blow their way through what would otherwise be a reasonably challenging adventure and complain it's too easy. In his efforts to balance that out the GM may have gone a bit overboard. But if I know him at all I don't see him dismissing your comments out of hand if you did write him. Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of pizza? Vender: No pizza.
