On the morning of September 11, while riding with one of my Co-GM's up to where I could get a better vantage point of the Manhattan Skyline, I frantically called another CO-GM of mine who worked, essentially, next door to the mess.
I got through.
"Holy effing frogshit! Are you OK?!"
"I got good news and bad news."
"Uh..."
"The good news is I'm not smushed or anything. I'm in a bar in South Street Seaport.The bad news is that we have to change that Bike race scene in Lower Manhattan in the game tomorrow night."
He proceeded to tell me a story that...well...suffice it to say he is (and has held on to the title longer than any other person, well, ever) my new hero. He's pretty modest, so I'll let him tell it here if he likes.You bet your ass we're playing this week, too.
Hm. On another note, I'm prolly about to get in trouble here.
O Gaming Public, I'd like to let you all know that on top of Synister's 10% bailout effort, a group of smaller publishers (Ourselves, Fantasy Flight, Microtactix, Key 20, West End and Otherworld) are working together on something called the "Gaming Industry Disaster Fund Auction" which is pretty self explainatory. We haven't heard from the big boys yet and I wanted to see if I couldn't get you guys to apply some pressure on the various 900-Lb Gorillas that have been kicking the rest of us around this industry to use that bulk and do some good. Please help us all out on this one.
Good night and whatever God you choose Bless,
- Reverend Mother Sean Jaffe, Synister Creative
