I know what you mean. It takes a *lot* of time from a game
to keep proper notes about what's what vs. just playing and
enjoying. You've got a small taste of what all (or many) of
us playtesters do on a regular basis (I think for some of
us we've done it so much that it's almost second nature, and
we don't remember *how* to have just a simple, straight-up,
*fun* game - that's where FTJava comes in handy for me! :-)

So Steve's got the whole Teske Field thing going for him. That
will screw and skew any and all systems. ;-)

And you're stuck with Beth and I in the whole "Indy Singularity"
realm of life. ;-) Welcome! You're not alone.
