Steve's own car sports Nevada plates with the letters J H E R E G. So even the creator of our beloved books has been affected by what you speak of; then of course there are the names of his children, I wonder which Alieria came first? Care to comment Corwin? As to being type cast as a certain house... There is a weekend long LARP scenario out there in which players get to play various characters from the books, as well as various well thought out extras. The game itself is a blast. The people who run it take great pains to make sure that each player is of the correct mind set for the character they will be playing. The one time I played it I was cast as Demon, and I had a tremendous amount of fun. I was told after the fact that there was no argument as to who should get that part when the casting was being done, the character packet came up and the story-tellers unanimously chose me to play it. So now in retrospect I am wondering is that a good thing or a bad thing? Rion aka Demon? ----- Original Message ----- > From: "J C" <greyw01f at hotmail.com> > To: <Dragaera at dragaera.info> > Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2004 3:09 PM > Subject: Hrm Mailer Problem > > > > > > Not sure if this is a repeat or anything ,cause it got returned to me by > the > > mailer daemon but here goes round 2. > > > > > > Hey there guys...
