Are times when i take the usually i Board too late to get a the bus is an express that takes a shortcut to town which involves Many i often get quite dizzy since i must stand the entire the bus is generally full of Young health looking men and but not once has anyone offered me a i realize things have changed since i Rode the bus in the but hopefully common Courtesy has not disappeared i live

world is not As Friendly a place As it used to drugs and a proliferation of handguns tend to make folks fearful of a seat on the bus is the least of it people Are murdered on the Street and nobody stops to its a sad commen tary and i have no America Syndicate response to criticism of dungeons and dragons from the Start i was inside and i was promoted from the third Grade directly to the fifth after completing All fourth Grade work and still made nearly straight As in a private i had already discovered the Public i and was through the childrens Sec Tion and Well into the adult by i science historical anything with a touch of imagine i had no social few my desire for new knowledge was scarcely slowed by academic i scored in the top one percent on standardized was valedictorian of my Jun to High and was bored out of my despite Amateur Model rocketry and boy despite being bored with being More imaginative than my teachers or parents and having virtually no i didst turn to drugs or i didst seclude myself and get lost in books or other forms of entertainment popular with my an acquaintance introduced me and his own younger to a game not just a but adventure this is the generally accepted term for those games which go beyond the Ordinary humdrum of monopoly or and allow the players to be More than they were instead of dungeons and trademark by str hobbies is but and the Best of this genre of and Many other brought me together with people of similar inter forcing me to to Sharpen my wits As Well As my to exercise judg ment where there had been no Opportunity to do so to play both against and with other players toward competing goals or toward similar the social interaction i had never before found through the usual avenues like i thanks for concert memories this is an open letter to All the people responsible for the incredible concert at Nuernberg Messe gelande on june a Veteran of Many general admission and open air concerts in the United i was amazed at How Well organized my first european concert experience All fans were admitted As quickly As pos our bags were searched thoroughly but and in such an efficient and professional manner no one could have been Security was but not restrooms and refresh ment facilities were More than the fans were courteous and the show itself great the spirit of International Friendship was so alive you could hear its the sharing of blankets and beverages was visible everywhere because music has a Lan Guage of its while i came Only to hear the you were i stayed from Early morning until very late that night and loved every and to All especially the and most Huey Lewis and the a huge thank making music is in so but travelling All Over the world and bridging the Gap created by and ways of life must be intensely Gratifying to and for never was this so clearly evident As in Nuernberg that Lynch Germany found through gaming with my newfound and now lifelong instead of spending i terminal hours hanging out downtown yell ing at passing my Friday and saturday instead of being full of worry for my parents As 1 searched aimlessly for a Good became routine excursions to a friends where they could always find me if they my world was perhaps the son of the lady who wrote the letter on was top Young and in Many activities in life Are geared for a particular minimum age and and when one is the lines Between reality and fantasy Are naturally As a child attempts to sort the adult world into terms he or she can this should not be misinterpreted to mean that is a purely adult i started when i was and 1 still have my feet firmly on the there is nothing intrinsically damaging or danger Ous about or any other adventure but any obsession bears especially in a Young my Point is that the bad publicity and other adventure games have been get Ting lately is largely a result of misunderstanding and the same types of things were said about modern video games and comic books the critics i could repeat my but i will Only say see for play a talk to someone who go to a Conven Tion theres at least one in most major cities every if you want More or already play but want to find More write me at hic 11th
