Everybody loves sheep. Sheep go “Baa.”

Dammit, I was about to get some sleep, too.

The horrors that this will wreak on my GPA be on your head.

Hope I see you there!

Another one of those wierd coincidences that make life interesting.

A co-worker and I (both heavy into games) were JUST talking about this game. Neither of us has ever played it. How does it compare with the old GameMaster series games (Axis & Allies, Samauri Swords, etc)? We both enjoy those as well as the Avalon Hill-type stuff.
