Ft. MacMurray is gone; completely gone; and so far away from anything that there's nothing to do for those people but sit and wait.<br /><br />I remember a time when that same small community was accessible only by air - and only by very small planes.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-69956360855136052272016-05-12T15:23:45.219-06:002016-05-12T15:23:45.219-06:00I think you are really on to something with the ma...I think you are really on to something with the making DMing simple to begin.
