I agree, to get people interested, run them through a seek and destroy in
Afghanistan, let them get really close to UBL, now there's a nemisis!! LOL
Also, i have almost definatly decided to run a ME game at DunDraCon next
year.  DunDraCon is held every year at the San Ramon Marriot in San Ramon,
CA which is approx. 30 miles east of SF.  Hopefully, there will be some
turn out.
