Am supposed to be hard at work at the moment, so this is a quick post to say that I'm liking both our nutty friend and Swampy. On the dice front, I will play with it tomorrow and see how it goes - the system I'm mangling for this uses d6 that are marked with two blank faces, two plus faces and two minus ones. So as long as I remember which  numbers correspond to which symbols, it'll work out.

Speaking of work, time to dash.
