The "no self-promotion" rule has been canceled several years ago already.
‘Chivalry is dead!’, cried Lateena, as the postured man careered past her doorway. ‘You know you’ll never leave me!’.
The man trotted to a halt by the stairwell, and brushed a few morsels from his neckerchief. Then, with a dignity so profound, he let slip a note from between his forefingers, his back still turned to better hide his growing complacency. He had no intention of offending the poor girl. Slowly, he turned his head such that his eyes, a played though deceiving sorrow etched across his brow, met with hers... And then he spoke. And his words were of melting silk.
‘I’m sorry Lateena... I thought you were from Iran.’
And with that, he was gone.
She slid to the ground, her fingers griping strongly the doorframe, heedless of the splinters, and began to weep.
A strong gust of wind blew through the open window from down the corridor, picking up her dress and sending the note flying; spinning through the air, to land gently by her side. As the melancholic blur washed from her eyes, she turned her gaze downward to read upon its print, rivulets of sodden ink smearing the freshly cast words. This is what it said:
“Dearest Laveena. I’ve booked you in with Dr. Dowerhurst on Thursday morning. Don’t forget your insurance forms this time, and bring your birth certificate. The dress is on the table by the door. Pay the valet when you leave. Hope you liked the cheese!
Yours impartially,
Smit."

"A triumph!" -- Ralphis, IDL Reader's Digest.
"I couldn't put it down! except for when I had finished reading." -- Hellbent, Woman's Weekly
"I actually thought it was rather bad, to be honest." -- Csonicgo
"I really couldn't put it down; the book was glued to my hand!!!" -- Nixot

(btw you don't need that many hotkeys to actually play, just the weapon keys...you can use altfire to access the rpg menu and the inventory keys for everything else)
It's the "inventory keys for everything else" that's the problem, I think. Unless there's some means of binding those without cluttering up the keyboard, it can become quite difficult having to cycle through such a huge range of items!
Loving it all the same, anyway. Brilliant work! I'm hooked.
