I don't know why, but I've been very hesitant to give details to them,
perhaps because it's hard to put down in words what goes on in the back
of my mind whenever I think about them. I've just begun work on that
section of the overview, and it will be in the next update.

I'm planning on playing with my own group. I've only ever liked one
online rpg program -- WebRPG -- and it's proprietary and they charge a
monthly fee. OpenRPG is _very_ similar, but it's still lacking in
sophistication, and doesn't come with any graphic miniatures, so it'll
be a while before I get comfortable enough with it to use it. 'Sides, I
want to hone my GMing skills a bit before I risk GMing a game with
people I don't even know. But having an online game to christen both
FRINGE and the World of Zaenar _does_ sound like something to remember,
if that's what you're talking about.
But as for using FRINGE, now that I see that the focuses don't actually
require the players say something special to invoke them (I must not
have read it too carefully the first time), FRINGE looks good. In fact,
I've liked the rest of the system since I first saw it.
My biggest attraction to Mirima Tyalie is its advancement system, which
isn't dependent on whether you like storytelling or hack'n'slash
dungeon-crawling. However, the system has some flaws that aren't easily
fixed, though, so I'll take FRINGE into serious consideration.
