      When my brother’s grade 9 teacher told our mum that he just wasn’t very good at research, she was like, “uhh, he just spent 3 weeks doing research on the wild West to run a game of deadlands for a bunch of people in their twenties and thirties, I don’t think research is the problem”

        “Research really hard and you’ll get to bring history to life for your friends, and even throw in some werewolves for good fun.”

        Gee I sure know which one would motivate me too! LOL

        Also, yeehaw, Deadlands!
