What about story continuity and the investment in time and effort into the characters. Everyone seems to have strong opinions about this.

The journey of 1000 metaphorical miles begins with putting your hands on keys and typing away.

Everyone has their own take on what roleplaying games truly are. This is mine.

Falconry or Hawking is the sport of hunting with a trained bird of prey, usually a hawk or falcon. It has been practiced by a number of cultures through out the centuries.

Did you, like me, sit in the cinema thinking 'Now this is what I want to achieve for my campaign climax'? Did you sit around afterwords trying to figure out how? Well I did, and here it is.

Looking for some information that might explain what is going on? How you can get involved? How to play?

Let's face it. GM's need to be organized. When dealing with organization, one should look towards business... as an efficient business is a more profitable business.
