Using Whitewall In Your Campaign
Having Your Heroes Feature In The Story
If you have an interest in presenting any of these topics, or others - either in person at Tentacles or as a named contributer to the Powerpoint slides (which will be available for reruns) - please place your name against them. John will be coordinating the text and preparing the Powerpoint presentation. I'd like it substantially complete by mid May.
Obviously, given the scope of this topic, each section will be quite short!
