Welcome back -- at least part of the way! Congrats on what sounds like a successful trip. Morbid curiosity compels me to ask: What was the coldest weather you saw? I'm looking forward to hearing the tales, but I'm on a plane to Florida Monday, then working on a boat in the islands 'til March...

It's fragments of text stolen from literature found online. As someone else mentioned, it's used to fool the spam filters. If you paste some of the fragments with proper nouns into a Google Books search, you can usually find out where it's from. For example, Olaf, the stuff you quoted is from...

Don't be deceived by false Merrics. Answer only to the one, true Merric.

Enjoy the Winter Solstice tonight!

Tabasco is gross. Crystal Hot Sauce

For me, the lack of sophistication in the original artwork gave the entire game an air of being something exclusive or even slightly mystical -- inaccessible by the mainstream and commercial artists. It was as if only those who had really seen these wonderful sights could draw them, like the...

I hadn't heard of google coop before. That's very cool. Good work! Thanks.

If I recall, he said there is a resupply helicopter that makes occasional visits to the field. Carl

We won't know for another month. As I understand it, he's "in the field" and out of internet access 'til January when he gets back to the base. Carl

I heartily agree. This setting is awesome -- even if you only end up using it as inspiration for games in other settings. It was written by a marine biologist and is the most incredibly rich, plausible "waterworld" I've seen. I bought the core books at FFG's last sale, and as soon as I glanced...

She seems upset that average age of gamers is now pushing 30, and she thinks that there's something amiss with adults being so obsessed with video games that they'd pluck down thousands of dollars and spent countless hours awaiting the new consoles. But I don't really believe today's "average"...

The sci-fi version of Civ is called Alpha Centauri, also by Sid Meier. Others along the same lines you might like are: Europa Univeralis series, if you've never played either of them. Civ-style game based in real, historical Europe. Gorgeous interface. Patrician II, if you can find a copy...

I'm just seeing this thread for the first time. Xyanthon, your stuff rocks! It absolutely does have a 1e feel to it, and I love it. Call me old school, but too much of the artwork accompanying RPGs today is grossly over-stylized. Most of the character concept art in the 3.x books looks like...

So, I'm walking my dog around the neighborhood last night, thinking, "Boy, it's getting chilly!", when I pass Warehouse23's house, and am quickly reminded that he's in a tent at the south pole in about -20°F..... Suddenly, I was quite comfortable. Hang in there, Joe! Hope the trip's going well...

Objectively, I think this is it at its core -- at least from the players' perspective. Specific characteristics and styles, objectives, etc. all stem from this primary principle: creating what the players want. I'm not even sure fairness matters initially; I'm sure there are players out there...

A gift from Creative Mountain Games I emailed Mark at CMG, and he'll offer a gift from their catalog to the gameday GMs. Those of you who ran games Saturday just need to email him directly. Here's his post on this: http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=3048660&postcount=17

No movies. In fact, you don't even get pics from the afternoon session because I only managed to take pictures in the morning. :\ Hey kroh! On a separate note, it turns out there's quite a community around those mech sims we were talking about last night: www.virtualworld.com

Pix Gospog's "The Hunt Club", a steampunk Savage Worlds game. Counterclockwise from the bottom: LegolasGimli24, kroh, ExiledRogue, MaverickWeirdo, Fluffaderm (obscured), and Gospog. Gospog's game featured some of his amazing homebuilt minis: Piratecat's "The Angel of Flagstone Gulch"...

L and I just got home from the post gameday dinner at Jake's, and the house seems somehow larger.... :confused: :p Thanks to everybody who came, and especially to those who ran games! "What's my target number? My target number is 4." Yeah, I don't think I can play anything besides Savage...

Thanks, Jon. Sorry you couldn't make it.
