Teflon Billy made me spit up my soda!

No, they didn't. It was abominable.

I felt lucky that they offered a kill fee.

It was really a case of "too many chiefs".

The product itself was originally pitched as a Talislanta setting book for the GURPS rules. I was (at the time) incredibly familiar with GURPS, and could make accurate GURPS race templates virtually in my head.

This is what I signed on for, my writing partner was going to take care of the prose.

After the first draft, we were told that they wanted something that was not only Talislanta "Fluff" with the GURPS Crunch, but something that allowed you to translate the Talislanta Crunch into GURPS crunch.

They systems are as different as night and day, and the solution we came up with was both useless mechanically and inconsistent from paragraph to paragraph.

I beleive it could have been great but for the insistence on a Convertible system.

As it was, it sucked.

Please forgive my ignorance but what exactly is a "kill fee."

What Cyberpunk 2020 module did you write? I have most of them at home, but I'm too lazy to go dig them all out.

Man, I loved that game. Still do.

Good, I was beginning to regret how many THG Products I supported for the ENnies

FOr the Record, Bluffside: City on the Edge has been added to my game world. Excellent supplement.

Thanks TB, that is a great compliment. Keep looking for for more goodies in our vault area.

I just wanted to say that I was completely devistated a couple weeks back to learn that the photo in Teflon Billy's sig is not actually him but some professional wrestler or other.

That picture is so "Dude, Where's My Dice?"

That is all.

I think our title was Cold Front, but it got changed before it went to press. Ahh here we go..it was called Northwest Passage for Atlas Games

Anyway, it's about the PC's going to Alaska and getting stranded after their cakewalk mission. Sort of a "Fish out of water" thng.

It one incredibly (in my opinion) funny bit. There was a law firm in city of Nome with a lot of corporate power. The two partners were the Zurich brothers.

So that's right, the players eventually had to appeal for help to The Zurich's of Nome

The picture of me on the back page is great

Hmm...I'll go check and see if that "post a picture of yourself" thread has been archived.

I added pro-wrestler Al Snow because so many people began to belive I looked like the previous picture I had there: The Unabomber

Mind you, it was his college yearbook picture and he was fairly handsome, so I guess there are worse fates

 

[Teflon Billy]

OK...here is the only picture of me I could find on the net at the moment.

It comes from my friend Vertigogirl's website , from her article about boy bands.

She was comparing me to Chris Kirkpatrick from N'Sync. You judge for yourselves.

That's me on the right (a promo shot from my days as a journalist for the now defunct www.wrestling.com), for those of you who share her opinion.

Here's the picture of me from the "post your picture" thread.

Back in my demi-goth days when I still colored my hair.

Pre-tattoo's

 

[jaerdaph]

Yikes. Now I know *two* Chris Kirkpatrick lookalikes. Your counterpart is a Broadway stage manager I know.

It's an alien cloning conspiracy, if you ask me.
