Luxury! Vellum! Luxury, sheer luxury. When I started writing freeforms back in '83 (big freeforms, large freeforms, 250 player plus Traveler freeforms for manly men, womenly women and centaurly centaurs) we had to breed the slaves to harvest the papyrus and pulp the reed to weave the mats, explore unknown continents to find the lapis to be ground into ink, enter the Timeless Halls to wait centuries till postal services, capitalism and delivery pizza were invented, and do battle with wargamers for the very right to exist. We chipped our D6s from the living rock we did...:)
And I'm still a Gloranthan newbie...
