Oh, good. I'd hate to think it was such a brain-crusher that it had people tearing their hair out and driving miles to the library to find more data. I'm sure that'd be very inconvenient, and I doubt many folks could summon the will to go to such lengths. I'm glad to know at least one person was able to spot it. That's six - seven if you count the hint about the previous message.

Well, I was already at the library when I read it, but I work there...

(sigh) Okay, fine... Here's the spoilery version:

That's six - seven if you count the hint about the previous message:

1. Crusher, as in Wesley.
2. Miles, as in O'Brien.
3. Data, a science officer.
4. "Be very," close enough to "Beverly" Crusher.
5. Will, as in Riker.
6. Spot, a cat.

Bonus hint: "tearing their hair out" makes people bald. Bald plus "pick harder" = Picard.

Woah. I was being sarcastic. Hence my reply starting with "Yar".

Yeah, but then you reused "Miles." That threw me.

Didn't want to get bounced for being too terse, then forgot you'd already used Miles. Oops.

"Well, we're doubling up on the important stuff: hookers, pyromaniacs and explosives experts."

Me: "You know what? I'm going to get on the ceiling."
GM: "Oh (expletive), I forgot you could do that!"

"If I'm on the ceiling, do I get hit by that?" (the answer was no, thanks to the very wonky "physics" of the D&D 4th edition rules (I swear, if I ever play a wizard in that, I will only ever cast firecube, since it doesn't HAVE fireballs, and incidentally diagonal movement is sqrt(2) times faster than cardinal directions...))

(side note: anyone with a cockroach origin in Gamma World will COMPLETELY break melee-only encounters, as long as they a) are indoors and b) have a ranged weapon. Sit on the ceiling and plink away at things that can't hit you!)
