RE: Nexus-remove

[Foo <fooboy@laf.cioe.com>]

Hmm...replying to my own mail.  Embarrasing.  

At any rate, this reply was a tad hasty.  I think some of the
disorganization the club has been experiencing lately is due to some of
the disorganization of the setting.  We need to have some things down in
writing as an errata or addendum for players and GMs that dictate some
specific things such as locations, what actually exists so far in
Rougtero, etc.  I would be more than happy to write up descriptions for a
few things.  Are you still compiling Rougtero data, BJ?  If you're too
busy, I could easily take up some of the slack.  I could even write up
some stuff in Port Haven if no one has begun anything along those lines
yet.  At any rate, give me some feedback.

As to Dan being a campaign coordinator, I'm of the opinion that he's been
doing a pretty decent job since before I was born and should continue to.
