    Interesting -- that's exactly the reason we WROTE rogue in the
    first place.  By the way, those of you out there tired of
    D&D due to long cycle time should play IMPROMTU.  I'll send
    rules of the game to those interested, or post them if there
    is enough interest.  It really is a different sort of role-
    playing game from D&DChampionsTravelerRuneQuestBlahblahblah.
