MF>And really, since when to the D&D nerds talk to the WoD goths? Around here they do. Or rather, it's a spectrum... somebody who plays in Bill's Saturday D&D game doubtless knows someone who plays in somebody else's game who plays in somebody else's WoD games. It's just that those degrees of separation *never* include Rifts gamers. Or didn't, until a Rifts player came to one of Carl's Wichita Roleplayers meetings. Though I'm not sure it's been confirmed that he's an actual Rifts player, or just a regular roleplayer who happens to have tried Rifts. So it may be the communities have not yet overlapped... -- Karen J.
