White Wolf at Bat[]
Believe it or not, White Wolf game studio has a softball team, and as you would expect, we suck. Thus far (at the time of this writing) we've played four games and are 1 and 3 (we won our first game by default). Of course, it's not whether you win or lose, but how many beers you drink. So far we've done pretty well, coming dangerously close to braking clubhouse rules against having beer on the field. We've even swiped clubhouse pitchers in order to get cheap refills. Our new credo?: if in doubt, swing at the ball in the middle. I'll keep you posted on our ongoing follies.
From the Pack[]
Some responses to recent articles and some otherwise weird stuff from y'all.
Subscription Problems[]
We've been hearing from several Canadian subscribers that issues of the magazine are slow in arriving to them. We've looked into the problem and are searching for a solution, but are baffled. There appears to be no reason for the slowdown, other than, perhaps, delays at crossing the border (shades of this issue's Runes column?). Until the problem is solved, we can only ask that Canadian subscribers bear with us. Thanks. - Ken
