    GenCon Costume Pictures

    I've got a new favourite. She looks attractive, I don't know if she's wearing a costume (save for those ears . . . I'm hoping that's a costume), but it's the attitude! http://direkobold.com/gc2003/Girls/html/DSC00226.html

    GenCon Costume Pictures

    Niiiiice Since I'm in my objectifying phase here . . . http://direkobold.com/gc2003/Girls/html/DSC00166B.html Two, count 'em, two chainmail bikini tops and on some nice wearers as well. Isn't the one in the center the Valar model that keeps popping up everywhere? Not that I'm complaining . . .

    [EN World Book Club] Suggestions & Selectors

    Hey, no fair, I was going to nominate that, but I didn't think it would be fair to not include "the Lord of Emperors." I think the Sarantine Mosaic is Kay's best work to date, but I'd be happy to read anything of his. Take care all.

    [EN World Book Club] Suggestions & Selectors

    Lots of great suggestions. A lot of books that I've read but which I'd be happy to read again. Please put me down as one who would like the chance to dictate to others what they will read. I love power. I think the suggestion regarding paperback isn't a half-bad idea. In fact, it's a good...

    Oh, and just for the record, I'm in. I also want a hand at choosing the books. I would personally like to choose all the books and force you all to read every good book in my library, but I will settle for taking my turn whenever that turn pops up. BTW, what's everyone's thoughts about having...

    [E-Zine] New Issue of Sword's Edge!

    Thanks for the kind words. If any of the stories strike you as particularly good, perhaps you could drop the author a line. I'm afraid recognition is the only recompense they receive. I'm wrestling with the PDF right now. I'm using PDF995, which is a free program, and I can't even get bookmarks...

    Good call on the in print thing. Didn't even think of it! As for book choosing, if we do it alphabetically, I guess a person could defer choosing if they really wanted to deal with a classic. Would this cause too many problems? Is there a way that each of us suggests one book from each category...

    Count me in for the book club. Since we're doing the cycling between awards and classics, what about 1 month, "award book", next month "classic" and then "D&D influence book", based on the ones listed in the 1E AD&D DMG (or elsewhere . . . was there a list in the 'Basic' books?). As for an...

    Babes Of Gencon! Posted!

    Okay, so I had some time (a lot of time, my supervisor is off sick) so I went through the photos and made some comments. I have to say, there are a lot of pictures of attractive women, especially considering how unforgiving the camera is. Thanks to everyone who contributed photos and an...

    Babes Of Gencon! Posted!

    Hey Gang Maybe I don't have 'mainstream' tastes, but I found a lot of these women attractive, to varying degrees. And as for Dante Hicks' comment about the only 'do-able babe,' were I not married, there were plenty pictures of women that, to me, appeared eminently 'do-able.' But that's just...

    [E-Zine] New Issue of Sword's Edge!

    The newest issue of Sword's Edge is up at http://www.swordsedge.net/ nd, holy mackeral, it is packed! Let's start off with the fiction, shall we? There's stuff from Peter J. Welmerink, Steven Shrewsbury, Eric S. Brown, Mary K. Wilson, Jeanry Chandler and the fourth chapter of "The Burr...

    Any Cons east of Montreal in Canada?

    When I was there, the University of Waterloo had a very small con, but it was fun. Not too many dealers, but tons of games going on. Pretty fun stuff.

    Little Canadia Suite!

    I so wish I could be there. However, though I cannot attend, I will make some suggestions regarding Canadian beverages. As I am now living in Halifax . . . Keith's baby! Get that IPA flowing. As I have lived in Kitchener, so close to Guelph . . . Sleeman's baby! Honey Brown rocks, but anything...

    "Kill Bill" to pull a Matrix Sequel Split

    I'm not trying to be an @$$, though I may come off as one, but are you aware that Robert Rodriguez directed From Dusk Til Dawn? Tarantino participated as an actor, producer and writer. Granted, you could blame it on him as the writer, but it was really Robert Rodriguez's film. Actually, I got...

    Zines are a good place to start.

    -snip- Thanks for the nod! And for those of you interested, there's a new issue of SE coming out soon. It'd be out now, but I actually got a new job and my family has decided to pay a two-week visit! In any case, even running a small e-zine is a real eye-opener. I can't imagine doing this for...

    Gunpowder in your games

    In my campaign, the tech is Age of Enlightenment era, like around the early 1600s, which means gunpowder. It's worked very well because guns are not the end all and be all of combat. They are very expensive, and pretty much everyone who has them fires them off and then charges into melee. Of...

    New e-Publisher: CornerStone Publishing

    Hi there. I've had some luck with the free PDF makers/distillers available. I have an e-zine that was created using the free program. It's at www.swordsedge.net. Have a look and if you think this is good enough quality, I'd be willing to lend what assistance I could. I am, however, on a dialup...

    Satellite Images

    For anyone else interested, I found a really cool site through this link which I ran across in the other "maps" thread. Satellite images from various wars and crises. Smooth.
