Taking Care of Business is a story stemming from an email game I've been running since this summer. The only player in the game is Karl Friesen (krf@purdue.edu). His character, Silk, was one of the characters in the first WFRP adventure I ran (four years ago?) He has survived to this day and, although he spent a good deal of time in limbo, was brought out this summer to give both Karl and I something to do (yeah, right). We have made exchanges almost every day; however, email between Clemson and Purdue is almost instantanious, thus there have been days were more than a half dozen turns were exchanged (one-player pbem games are great!) I didn't actually write this story; I just concatinated the messages we've exchanged, tidied them up a bit, and filled in the gaps. So most of Silk's orations were writen by Karl, not me. Also, he had almost as much of a hand in the development of Altdorf as I; when Silk asked the bartender if the back room was in use, that meant to me that the tavern had a back room. As for the shorts I promised, they're coming. I had some problems last week and was pretty much out of school the whole time. Be patient. Jeff Stehman
