Something along the lines of "...we need to take care of ourselves and each other..." or "...never take your good health for granted..." is probably more appropriate.<br /><br />I read those articles as a kid, and in the last year or so discovered the Silver Princess module and thought it was pretty cool (not an opinion I have for many published adventures). This is sad news.
