very long.

HERO and Cartoon Action horu are also really good.

FUDGE. Surprisngly, HeartQuest works extremely well for Slayers games --
even better than the published systems do.

No, I consder myself a story-based gamer.

Cartoon Action hour. it does its genre really, really well and plays really
nicely. just remember to stock up on d12s.

When i play, I tend to be a follower. I am definitely a Role-Player, and
will pass up my turn if it seems like my character would be too shocked by
a developemnt to act.

I like a lot of different egnres, but tend to ayhve an anime flavor in msot

You name it. I;ve done fantasy, science fiction, mecha, superheroes, just
about everything over the years.

Pretty much everything is 'fair game" in the games I run, icnluding

That;s how I try and earn a lviing, so yes.
