[Edu] BLACK ICE

[Kimberly Terrill]

I recall reading that. I wasn't sure if you taught autism spectrum kids or
not. I forgot who teaches what. So I thought I'd share my experience with
the game and autism spectrum kids.

it sounds like you have had a fun year. I'd like to do some sort of game day
for school age kids at my game/hobby store (which was bought and reopened
under new managament recently). I'll have to think how to go about it, so I
don't have too many kids to handle and I'm not babysitting while mom/dad are
off playing their RPGs.
