We just got our first shipment of the NEW Blood Energy Drink in and of course we all had to try it. First thing commented on was that it comes in a nifty 3.4 oz reusable IV Bag. Pretty cool! The Taste?? It's good! The consistency is a little thick and tastes a lot like Hawaiian Punch concentrate. On the package there are directions on how to microwave for 14 seconds to heat it up to 98.6 The Badgers Denhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11602979197001994953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-686580507249931180.post-88347491063835589202009-02-09T11:43:00.000-08:002009-02-09T20:57:32.513-08:00You Forgot the What?(A guide for packing and camping)by Yehudah of Nuremberg (Barony of SunDragon, Atenveldt) Greetings!After many years of camping, you develop a memorized routine of packing everything you need for an event or war.

Player and Game Master Responsibilities
by Johanna Mead
For Everyone The first rule is: Always have fun.
If you are not having fun, find out what is stopping you and change it. Even if that means changing your character, or quitting the game entirely, do what makes you happy. Just do it tactfully and with the minimum of melodrama - your fellow-gamers will appreciate that.
