Sorry, but I just have to gush for a moment.

This site makes me giddy.  I am so glad that I found it.  I have been reading posts since I began posting last night, and I have not yet slept.  I have been that excited, impressed, and inspired by all this stuff.  Thank you for making this place exist.

One thing's for sure.  I gotta save up some money and start buying me some games.  First on the list:  kill puppies for satan.

Oh, Vincent'll love that.

Welcome! Uh, feel free to exert critical disagreement wherever it seems to need it, too. Once the rush wears off and all.

Best, Ron

Oh yeah, don't worry, I'm sure I will.  Although I must warn, I can be kindof a sonofabitch.  But I mean well.

Damn, my head is still buzzing with ideas.  Dogs in the Vineyard showed me how to do an appropriate conflict resolution for my weird western--poker betting and bluffing mechanics, it's so Obvious, why didn't I think of it?

But what I'm REALLY excited about is that, from looking at games like kpfs, My Life With Master, and Sorcerer, I have learned that my impossible dream -- a game based on the works of William S. Burroughs -- COULD actually be done!  That makes me giddy like a schoolgirl.  I'm not actually going to Attempt it yet, but at least I know it's practicable.
