Anyone else think that 10gpt is a surprisingly cheap buyoff?
If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.
I write RPG adventures, and blog about it, check it out.
+1 Jowy can be happy about that price. At the same time I think people try this extortion tactics not often enough.

I stole it from Babylon 5 (John Sheriden specifically, though his version didn't have the profanity). Given that I associate the name "Alfred Bester" with a certain notorious Psi Cop, I think it's a fair bet that JMS was a fan.
