[Diaspora] A very brief play report!

[Kenneth Coble]

Ooops! Didn't mean to steal your thunder, Chris.  And you're right, I did
use an Assets roll on that thug.  I thought straight Charm didn't sound
right, but couldn't remember why!  Thanks for filling in the places where I
blanked - and your writeup was great!

Also, I'd like to repeat my appreciation for the pimped-out version of the
Cluster Gazetteer you did.  It looks sharp as heck!
