I assume there were problems with the list, since this bounced the first 
time.  here it is again.

Hi people, we just finished the first installment of the pbirc game.  So I 
thought I'd share some thoughts on how it went.

But first, it's been slightly rescheduled:  The next game is Thursday 
June 25, at 8.00 pm CST.

Overall it went well, the only problem I saw is that we don't have as much
interaction with the DM (It's hard to read facial expressions over a computer.)
It's hard to tell whether the DM's done describing the scene, or whether he's
just typing in the next line.  There were several times when Terry was done, and
we thought there was more coming, and everyone just sat there.

Harry and I were the only players there (another showed up for about 15 minutes,
but then left and didn't return).  It seemed from my point of view that we were
both bad about interrupting Terry.  Terry had a tag for closing large 
descriptions, but it was hard to tell whether we were actually in a long 
descrip.  Perhaps it would help to use some sort of tag at the beginning and
end of the description, either braces or a <start desc>, <end desc> tag, to
tell the players 'if you interrupt me, I'll kill your character.'  :)

As for the adventure itself, I like it a lot.  I won't go into details, since
it's Terry's work we're talking about (I'll leave it to him to tell the story,
if he wants), but it is fun and looks to get better.
