Re: What is the RPG cycle? (was: New to RPG)

I, to, avoid /free. As liberating as that was, moving to **free is like heaven.

My coworkers use fixed-form 98% of the time. That new fangled free format stuff has only been around since what, 2001? V5R1. Don't want to get on that bleeding edge.

While I tend to avoid "/FREE" like the plague, I'm not going to say that
traditional RPG format is one of the strengths of the language.
