Yeah. But the players were so bitter by that point about everything else that they just saw it as 'GM griefing'.

A shame, really. Horizons had a lot to offer, but they really screwed the pooch badly.

I hear they've gotten better of late, though.

Geek. Pejorative? Complementary? Vernacular colloquialism?

I have found that when it comes right down to it, I resent being called a geek. I don't resent it because of the geek stereotype, which I fit not at all. I don't resent it due to the inherent properties assigned by the term. I don't welcome it as a complement. I don't think of it as a friendly greeting from geek to geek.

No, a hard-core Unix dragon I may be, but a geek I am not.
