    @ Karro: Now that there is a top plan for at Cthulhu game... Hmmm, sounds like a fun start to an adventure.

    @RPMiller: Forgot to mention, I looked it up. The expected data output is around 15 petabytes a year. That will be written to tape on site and simultaneously sent out to two or three other storage facilities around the world to avoid problems from data corruption, or say a fire. Each of those will be accessible from the Grid.

    It came to me all at once upon reading your first post... I'd have posted it sooner but was distracted by work...

    Is "NPRB" secret mad-scientist code?

    See.. what you do here is get some players who know nothing about whats going on with your work... start the game... freak them out with some really off the wall crazy crap(and I mean WAY crazy) in the game. Then tell then that the project you are working on is doing the same thing and try to convince them that the world "really" won't end like it did in the game.

    Heh.. that's where RPMillers suggestino about animated gifs and the whole "fog" doing the show/hide tokens for a fraction of a second while moving closer to the players would be just freaking awesome in Maptool!

    I work in a cube farm, at least for today... This pic was incompatible with that fact. I almost broke the code of silence...

    Which is why Torstan explicitly warns you to be careful...

    Looks like you're the only one.
    Bill Stickers is innocent! It isn't Bill's fault that he was hanging out in the wrong place.
