The Old Friend From Way Back
A few weekends ago, at our Saturday gaming session, we got a visit from an
old roleplaying friend who I hadn't seen for a few years. We got talking about
life, the universe and why I was so mind-crushingly depressed that day.
He was taking the usual "you need to get out more" line and asked me if I'd
ever thought about live roleplaying?
I asked something like: "You haven't read issue 2 of the fanzine then?"
And he replied with something like: "What fanzine?"
Like I said, I hadn't seen him for a long time.
I said "no matter" and explained that I went LRPing once but had a bit of a
bad experience.
An American friend of General Tangent's was playing with us that day (he was
on holiday here for a few weeks). Anyhow, as I said that, he suddenly sparked
up with: "Oh the psycho GM!"
So someone had been reading it.
The old friend looked at me quizzically so I explained. "Well... I mean, first of
the guy was totally dressed in camouflage gear, including forage cap---"
"Oh I knew him!" broke in the old friend. "I remember once during weapon
testing he actually put dents in a locker door!"
Yeah that sound's like the guy, I thought.
It was pretty nice thought, to get independent conformation. It isn't just the
ramblings of Jonny the madman. The psycho GM's real.
Just so you know.
