+# VUMPIRE!
+
+this is a silly game about vampires and baseball
+
+Here you will find:
+
+- `www`: the original markdown (and html) draft of the game. eventually edited and published to https://dozensanddragons.neocities.org/51
+
+- `pdf`: all the groff and sources. published to https://dozens.itch.io/vumpire
+
+this project is significant because it:
+
+a) is about vampires and baseball, and
+
+b) the pdf version is typeset and laid out entirely in groff,
+   which was not easy, but which was a valuable learning experience
