Terribly rude. Though I'm not sure that being wonderfully pleasant to
the fans wouldn't be the more surprising.

Don't forget, "Yeah, the brochure said this is a Hero System game, but
it's really not. We just roll these big, fluffy 'dinosaur dice'
(since when is a lobster a dinosaur?) and if you roll dinosaurs
(lobster!), that's good."

Horror Hero, with the author and Scott Heine. I seem to recall there
was a mummy involved, but I don't remember any clear details except
"the *meat*".
Say "Horror Hero" out-loud, and maybe that explains how "porn stars"
ended up in the dealer's room.

Hey, the largest body of water this land lubber had ever seen was
Wilson Reservoir in Kansas. (Keystone in Oklahoma is bigger overall,
but narrower.) It never occured to me that there were _lakes_ so big
you couldn't see the other side.

And the bus had a stupid 20-minute lay-over on the way to the
convention center. It wouldn't have been so bad if we'd gotten a good
deal on the hotel, but it was one of the more expensive ones. That's
what we get for registering only a few months in advance.
