Paradox two: bad acting

Oh, you're talking about the game Scott Heine ran, which really didn't 
get very far.  I enjoyed it because it was people acting funny, but 
not because there was any real roleplaying going on.

I'm talking about the "it's not really Hero System, we just call it 
that, and it's not 'live action' because GenCon doesn't allow that 
(wink, wink), but we're going to line up our chairs like they were a 
starship cockpit, and our only rule is we've got these three 
stuffed-fabric dinosaur dice with a lobster (a lobster's a dinosaur!) 
and 'other dinosaurs' on them, and rolling the dinosaurs is good."

The one where I told you (under extreme stress and entirely in 
unthinking reflex) to "shut up" and you bascially implied that if I 
ever did that again you'd rip my head off and shove it down my neck.

You probably don't remember it still, and it stands out as the most 
tramautic roleplaying experience I've ever had.
