Taking Care of Business is a story stemming from an email game
I've been running since this summer. The only player in the game is
Karl Friesen (krf@purdue.edu). His character, Silk, was one of the
characters in the first WFRP adventure I ran (four years ago?) He has
survived to this day and, although he spent a good deal of time in
limbo, was brought out this summer to give both Karl and I something to
do (yeah, right).
We have made exchanges almost every day; however, email between
Clemson and Purdue is almost instantanious, thus there have been days
were more than a half dozen turns were exchanged (one-player pbem games
are great!)
I didn't actually write this story; I just concatinated the
messages we've exchanged, tidied them up a bit, and filled in the gaps.
So most of Silk's orations were writen by Karl, not me. Also, he had
almost as much of a hand in the development of Altdorf as I; when Silk
asked the bartender if the back room was in use, that meant to me that
the tavern had a back room.
As for the shorts I promised, they're coming. I had some
problems last week and was pretty much out of school the whole time.
Be patient.
