I don't remember the last time I've ever read a book that varied in quality so much as the Abyssal Intruders book. It's like if you condensed the entire run of the X-Files into twenty or thirty episodes, so you took a few really awesome episodes and a few of the lovely ones from near the end and just threw them all on one DVD set.

VoxPVoxD, Branigan: There's one more facet of the City we haven't really explored. If you guys are down with it, I can work out what happened to Paracelsus and Medved on Friday since we aren't playing Fjord, and also to make up for standing Vox up tonight.

it really depends on how many other people show up to do stuff though. people should filter in around 7 or 8 and i'll see what's what. here's a picture
