Thank you for a new spin on Decades (and letting me pick it). Possibly I can bring back The Original Decades as a filler between LSWE and your next game (I wonder what it could be?).
If so I'm hoping you'll let me borrow back the IDs....

Funny.... I shorthand my answers because I need to get back to the hospital and then write a whole bunch of dumb comments as usual. I just can't help myself....
