Hey there "Maddock",
Where you been hiding? I been searching all over. Serious "turn and a half" searching in all the old haunts. Ain't a stone, cubboard, alter, or prostitute you hidden under. Man, you were the best of the gang. Seriously tops of the trade and all that. you were the force that drove us. Without you half the mayhem wouldn't have happened, slappy would not have spent 7 years in jail. (which helped us how many times?) And we never would have scored the life of ease that led to our downfall. Yes I know. After we got the big money, the adventure didn't seem enough. Why risk everything for gains you didn't need? the thrill was gone. There were no demons, no gods, and certainly no governemnts that offered enough to make any more risks worthwhile. So sure... we slowed down. then stopped getting together. The rush of "do or die" was gone because nothing could compare. But you lost touch so completely. Even without the games, we could have still hung out. I know you moved on. Tried to distance yourself to your past. To fit in with "respectable society". But be honest. Don't you miss it? Don't you miss us a little bit? I mean, even when we weren't risking everything for fame and fortune. Well, okay mostly fortune, but riches always carries a price. weren't you the one who said that famous quote? When you were targetted in the slums by 3 whores, and 2 pickpockets? ahhh sorry, but I still enjoy the memories. And your wit. The point is, we need you back. The rest of the group has tried to move on. we have tried different avenues for our thrill seeking. but none of it compares to the old days. We have the whole crew: "Mudslick", "Harry the Toad", "Blades", "Laughs-at-the-Devil" Even "Sara" has come back. We have tried. But it's not the same without you. I know the old days are done for you, but we have something that might appeal.
Paranoia. I know, you thought it was lame. Well not lame, but what was your word..."jr. high" But, trust me in adulthood this RPG seriously surpasses everything you can dream of. I have read your blog, I know you claim you have left your "geek" ways in the past. But it's part of you. It's in your blood. Look at the drivel you post. Your soul is crying for creative outlet. And from your occasionaly "knock knock" posting, a fresh sense of humor as well. Trust me we all have grown and matured as you have. (okay some not as much as other, but believe me harry has come along way in his own fashion.) Paranoia has gone from a "kill your buddy fest" to kind of an extreme McCarthism. Picture "wild cards" on steroids. actually maybe not on steroids, since you don't get the super powers. But you do get all kinds of gadgets. It's no longer kill everybody in 5 minutes and start over. That was fun in it's way. And I won't deny, harry will still sneak some fart jokes in. (he has come a long way, but only in his fashion Still. we are sneaky, and political, and it has become much more fun. Sara has even managed to work her character in through a time-warp/cafeteria replicator experiment. So you know there is always a surprise. And the best part is...our GM. Is Mikey. you remember the swarthmeister. Some of the best subtrefuge, and you never did get out of that "celestial orca" trap of his. (hehehe he finally told us. The solution was so simple. Except you had to say exactly..."pull out the mushroom in the corner." You said "pull on all the mushrooms" so Michael just figured you had started as far away as possible, and gave pre-emptory tugs. So when you finally got to the key mushroom, you were so bored and downtrodden, you didn't feel the resistance. heheh that's why it didn't register magic either. it was a straight plug. Oh that was a beauty.) and he has gotten more devious and subtle since. Anyway, even if you aren't interested. At least give us a note that you're okay. And we are old enough, image doesn't matter (or can be bought up) so you can associate with us again. We feel the same about you. Sure it took Andy a little while to become less of a "playboy snob" but once he figured out cash surpassed image, and he wasn't married yet, well, even he will hang with you. So the group is meeting at the old coffee place. (it's still there, and still has high schoolers rolling dice.) Just to hang out and chat. None of use will bring dice. (well you never know about harry, but otherwise, you know what I mean.) Whaddya say pal?
