[PnP] Hello and a question

[Panthera Altaica]

Well first I'll thank Richard Snider for the wonderful game mechanics
and a seting with out the melodramatic black and white Good vs. Evil.

I mean Richard Snider's writing is in a highly restricted code[1]. 
That plus the amnemonic way the rules are layed out.  It's just not set
up well for teaching newbies the game.  

It's sad but not surprising that AH killed P&P and it now lays in
obscurity.  Thou thankfully not as obscure as
_World_Action_and_Adventure_, anyone remember that game?
