One note - due to RL issues this summer, Bill Keyes & Scott Field are both running "Encore Adventures" this year. (That sounds better than re-runs, doesn't it?) So if one of our blurbs sounds like a game you played once before, it may very well be! Please feel free to email us (RP-Artisans_at_yahoogroups_dot_com) if you have any questions or are unsure.
