* A bug in retiring characters was discovered and fixed.  If you
mysteriously lost a character, this might be the cause.

* Try to send comments to me in one large piece of e-mail.  Don't send
me 11 different pieces of mail with one line comments in each.

* Not everything that happens in a fight is reflected in the running
commentary.  In particular, you use up stamina in porportion to your
defense and attack vigors.  If you set high defense and attack vigors,
you will quickly become exhausted - perhaps before you find an
opportunity to attack.  Balance is called for.

Thanks.  I've fixed it.  Small shields weigh 2.00 kg and cost $15.
Large shields weigh 4.00 kg and cost $25.

Thanks.  Also fixed.  Signature tactic: no, but noted.

Could be.

>  iv, Can we sell equipment ?

No.
