From the Knave column, Oakland Tribune, Sunday, November 05, 1967:

IT ISN'T every day you meet a Countess running a brick-yard - especially one who has had more than 50 years of success in its management and admits to 87 years of vibrant living.

It's even more unusual when the Countess tells you she has dedicated her life to the memory of her French-Canadian parents and is as proud of her Oakland heritage as anything else she possesses. And her possessions are indeed prodigious.

There are other admirable characteristics about Countess Lillian Remillard Dandini, the brickyard proprietor who, we hasten to inform you, was born in a modest eight-room, two-story dwelling at Tenth and Clay Streets in Oakland ...

Jugar a rol en clase: Knave

Como ya dije en un artículo anterior, lo primero que hay que vencer para jugar a rol en clase son las tonterías propias. En mi caso eran muchas (y siguen siéndolo) pero me he acostumbrado a no hace…

My used copy of the Death in Space role playing game came in the mail today. It has a few small dings, but otherwise it looks great.

I have only been able to give it a cursory read so far, but I like what I see. I can see the influences of Knave which I appreciate as that is the system I am using for my lightweight "DnD" games right now.

I'm looking forward to getting it to the table. I've these lightweight systems to be perfect for introducing RPGs to new people.
