Getting Players to Post

Hey!  I had fun running that game!

Assuming, that is, this is the same Thom that played Lieutenant Pierre Buyoya 
in my old Exeter game...

In my defense, the first adventure took place before the ship left 
starbase...somebody sabotaged the engines, there was an explosion, and a 
subsequent explosion.  Yeah, I could'a tried to move things along more 
quickly than I did, but I didn't want to squelch anyone's role playing and, 
hell, it was my first time running a PBEM.
