Yup! You could have pulled out a flamethrower. Although considering from whence you pulled that "concealed" .44 Magnum, I think you'd have had a rather difficult time explaining the same trick with a flamethrower...

It was a very easy-to-jump-into game, since I basically got involved close to playtime. Quick read and the prestatted are all interesting (except for, perhaps, Boogyman.) I prefered the low-violence resolution and that if you start pulling stuff out of thin air, you might cause the Dreamer to wake up and ruin your chances. I like it when one has to be sneaky.
Actually, you don't always have to be. That's the great thing about the game: it all depends upon the dream. If you were in a high fantasy dream, you could have been throwing Mana around left and right, for example. And in some dreams, destroying the Taenia hive is the denouemet, so all-out violence is pretty much okay.

I had a lot of fun playing the drug addict rich spoiled girl. *thinks* This is the second rich spoiled girl I think I've played in the Playtests. I'll have to see if I'm getting typecast. *grin*
All I know is that it was really something to hear a Beth character say, "When do I get my fix?"

You did a great job. Everybody did. I hope we can continue that game sometime.
