    From the ashes will rise a new Hivemind.

    Sssshh! We don't mention the m-word in here.

    :( Who else is unhappy that XP comments are now showing up in the post?

    I like the comments showing up. It feels like everyone is speaking more to each other. I think it may, and in fact probably will lead to problems in the future, but I'm confident that when those problems come up they can be dealt with.

    Do people like Story Hours with lots of dialogue?

    What makes a Story Hour stand out is GOOD dialogue, rather than lots. If your players are witty and entertaining (preferably in-character) then yeah, put loads of it down. If it's just lots of mumbling along, cut it and focus on the good stuff.

    Doctor Who - Victory of the Daleks - spoilers

    I suspect there are some FANTASTIC out-takes from that scene. Dalek: WOULD YOU LIKE A CUP OF TEA? Scientist: No, thank you. Dalek: OH, YOU WILL! Scientist: No, thanks. Dalek: COME ON, IT'S JUST A CUP OF TEA! Scientist: I'm fine. Dalek: JUST ONE CUP! Scientist: No, thank you. I'm not thirsty...

    Doctor Who - Victory of the Daleks - spoilers

    I didn't - what was it referencing?

    Kick-Ass

    That's exactly how I felt. It's difficult to watch, but that's the point - this isn't quite as fantastical as it'd have you believe. I really enjoyed the film, went back to see it again. Awesome fun, and I laughed pretty much all the way through.

    Doctor Who - Victory of the Daleks - spoilers

    That's a very interesting idea, and made me wonder, too. I'm also wondering about Amy generally. As pointed out, she seems a bit too smart, too quick to pick things up and too on-a-par with the Doctor. Plus, she doesn't remember the Daleks. Are we absolutely sure she's human? Perhaps, after...

    Going to GenCon Indy for the first time

    That sounds like a very nice amount of time for an early morning bit of exercise. And walking along the canal is absolutely something I'll find time to do. I need to get my schedule organised. I'm attending the Ennies (although I haven't checked if I need to buy a ticket for that or if I can...

    Going to GenCon Indy for the first time

    I booked my hotel! Finally! I'm booked in at the Residence Inn by Marriot on the canal, less than half a mile from the Convention Centre. I've walked around in the US in the summer before, and I'm confident that even in August heat I can manage that each day. :) Let's not talk about the cost...

    From the ashes will rise a new Hivemind.

    Best geeky shop in London is Forbidden Planet. Orcs Nest is also pretty cool. In terms of other stuff, if you like video games you should go to the Trocadero on a Saturday night and watch the cosplay kids playing dancing games, it's awesome. Do all the tourist stuff, of course, but don't be...

    We elected not to have any hackers in the group, and just to skip that area of the game entirely - but your game sounds like fun!

    From the ashes will rise a new Hivemind.

    I don't know anyone anywhere that says holla holla, actually, it just popped into my head as something to say in the Hive today. Hello, my name is Mathew_Freeman, formally known as Tallarn, and I'm an original Hiveminder. What that means is that back in about 2001, when all this started, I was...

    Friday 2-6pm: The Winter Witch (GenCon Noobies Game) - FULL- Accepting Alts

    I'd love to play. Can I put my name down for Phillip? I think a snooty British accent will work terribly well. ;)

    From the ashes will rise a new Hivemind.

    Holla holla, Hive! Played a Dwarven Street Samurai in a Shadowrun game on Thursday. Was awesome fun. Shot many gangbangers. Sliced up some more. Rar.

    BSG Saturday Evening

    I'd bring my copy too, if it wasn't for the fact I'm coming from the UK. :) I hope we can get these games going, and even more I hope we can get them going side-by-side so we can keep track.

    From the ashes will rise a new Hivemind.

    I think Morrus is trying to run this place as a full-time job, and that means a steady income rather than odd splurges. He's also trying to help people stay. Time will tell if it'll work, personally, I hope it does. Plus - statuses, I need to look up where I can change mine easily!
