Fewer rules allow more fun.
If you're not having fun, why the hell are you playing?
The "system" is just the means to get to the fun; if you get to the fun, the vehicle becomes irrelevant.

You're a class act Jim. I'm definitely hoping you have a fast and complete recovery.
What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie?
I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky.
The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing;
Rush in and die, dogs-I was a man before I was a king!

Jim,

I'm sure the great GM in the sky will let you reroll that constitution check! :wink: Get well soon.
"Homo sapiens. What an inventive, invincible species. It's only a few million years since they crawled up out of the mud and learned to walk. Puny, defenceless bipeds. They've survived flood, famine and plague. They've survived cosmic wars and holocausts. And now, here they are, out among the stars, waiting to begin a new life. Ready to outsit eternity. They're indomitable. Indomitable." (Doctor Who: The Ark In Space)

Indeed, Jim, our best wishes and hope you get better soon.

As many have said, guys like you, and Tim, Rob, and Frank and Steve probably do not realize how much we appreciate your hanging around here and putting up with all our crap. But it does mean a lot to us that you do.

Just thought you should know.

If only I had the mutation allowing an injury or sickness to be transferred. Suffering should be reserved for those who earn it. May you get well, quick, and fully.

Not saying you have it, but check for Lyme if you have really weird symptoms and they can't find out what is wrong with you.

Hope you recover soon.

Best wishes!
Tis a hard thing to have your illusions dispelled, or have what you found comfort in being true become untrue in such a sudden and profound way it is impossible to deny the new uncomfortable truth. A slow dawning realization is a least merciful.
