For any of you that are interested, I thought that I would post a small sample
of the out given in any particular turn.  As an introduction, the party
consists of 3 characters (AG will allow up to 8) adventuring to the Ciston
Swamp Patrol site (there are 7 available sites).  This is one round of combat
in an adventure in which there were 5 total combat encounters.  The party also
had around 4 special encounters (an NPC wizard, magical springs, traps).  The
party also hired an NPC healer to accompany them (there are several NPC char.
types available for hire at the mercenaries guild).  Here goes:

Halfling Herb quickly casts the Speed Spell upon himself
Instantly, Desmonn Warg casts the Speed Spell
Crouching slightly on the balls of his feet, Pazuzeus Gravestone concentrates
on his stance
Desmonn Warg moves towards Bandit, entering long range
Pazuzeus Gravestone readies his bow and fires at Thug
Thug is hit in the right arm
The arrow causes serious damage to Thug's right arm
"Die Slime" declares Pazuzeus Gravestone
Desmonn Warg moves towards Bruiser, entering long range
Halfling Herb moves towards Bandit
Yelling wildly, Desmonn Warg rushes towards Bruiser
Pazuzeus Gravestone readies his bow and fires at Bandit (A)
Bandit (A)'s instincts take over as he jumps aside and avoids the incoming
missile
Desmonn Warg attacks Bruiser for heavy damage
"Aaarrrrggghhh" shouts Bruiser
Bandit (A) moves towards Desmonn Warg
Thug moves towards Desmonn Warg
Halfling Herb moves towards Bruiser
Desmonn Warg attacks Bruiser for moderate damage
Desmonn Warg swings down at Bruiser for slight damage
Ursala tries to get a better poition by moving to the right
Bandit (A) moves towards Desmonn Warg
Desmonn Warg attacks Bruiser and hits
Bruiser is incapable of further combat

This was actually about half of the first round of one of the combats.  AG
also has a player newsletter that is written in the voice of the characters.
It is were alot of public roleplaying goes on.  Adventuring is only half of
the total AG experience.  Arena combat in the guild is largely one on one
(team fights are possible up to 10 on 10).  An average AG turn will run
20 pages (single sided) of laser printed output.

Apparently, some may have misunderstood me when I posted my example of the
excellent customer service provided by Entertainment Plus.  I did not intend
to imply that the post office keeps track of every piece of mail and can
determine if a piece was lost.  I should have said that Hugh went to the
Post Office to see if the turn had been returned due to a faulty address.
Since it hadn't, we assumed that it had been lost.
