For those of you that haven't discovered Usenet yet, consider the following

(I have some hopes for *Get Your Strides On, You're Nicked* when James
gets it in the shops, but even that'll be a peripheral gain. It could be
a very good introductory game, however.)

Actually "Get Your Trousers On, You're Nicked" (now being developed
under the more prosaic title of COP SHOW) is not what I think of as an
introductory game; it lacks the structure that a lot of RPG novices find
comforting. YOUDUNNIT, my current personal major work-in-progress, is
much more of an introductory RPG, and will probably also be a better
game.

(I'll be running demos of YOUDUNNIT at Killercon and Conpulsion in the
next few weeks, for those who are interested. Possibly also COP SHOW, if
I get very bored. And Robin Laws's PANTHEON which is also a pretty fine
introductory RPG, and insanely fun to boot.)

So there we have it. I'd say that there is a good chance of seeing it on
Saturday.
