Pretty much ditto.
King's Hobby Shop, astoundingly, is still there (as of last week)! I 
drove by it and barely resisted the urge to go in and look around.

We got to the point where a whole (solo, arena) game was about 30 
seconds. Character design, around 8 seconds; more or less 6 seconds a 
turn for 3 turns after that; 4 seconds of jubilation/dejection. 
Repeat. But the multi-player battles where tactics mattered were even 
better.

Kirk and I have played in the past (and he's a very good referee!) We 
should try to get together more central-Texas games, assuming you are 
still in the area.
