I just wanted to say I'm back in a somewhat limited capacity now that my little one isn't so little (I'm calling her "Jabba Junior" at the moment! ); and I'm happy to join in a game as a player (I can use either Samantha Hall or come up with a new PC) if there's any room or just sit back and observe the action as an observer.
Welcome back Max, I hope your "mini-me" is doing well. And I can understand the lack of time to be a GM. In fact, I'll be tossing the "Eights" through boot camp entirely and then out onto a mission.
