Just a side-note, and a thank-you.
My article, Delayed Gratification, appeared in Pyramid #3/52: Low-Tech II, this past Thursday.
I received my check in the mail from Steve Jackson Games on Saturday.
That’s fast, professional behavior, right there.
+Steven Marsh and +Steve Jackson Games are to be commended; my understanding is this kind of alacrity is the exception, rather than the rule.
I’ve seen stuff like this before, with men in full harness climbing stairs and doing some basic gymnastics. It does make me think that the DEX penalties for wearing certain types of armor, especially very, very expensive and tailored plate harness, are overstated. I wonder if, instead of a maximum DEX bonus for Medium armor…
This is a very quick version of session notes from last week’s game, but I was in Malaysia. So, without further ado, nor editing, here’s a recap. I’ll edit this out into something more prose-like over time. Dramatis Personae Arc Light (Christian) – battlsuited gadgeteer with electrical powers The Rat Queen (Emily) – brick with…
A new revised version of Technical Grappling is now live. If you’ve already got a copy, you’re going to want to download it again. The alterations are significant and beneficial. If you don’t have a copy, you need run right over and get one. Thanks again to Steve Jackson Games and +Steven Marsh for allowing this sort…

Not much about GURPS task resolution at its core is hard. Roll 3d6…
Welcome to the third installment of Melee Academy! Today we’re going to deal with team tactics. While +Peter V.

SJG is always prompt and complete with payment. It's really a wonderful thing.
I've been writing bits and pieces for them since 1997. They have never once missed a payment. Much better than another publisher who didn't pay because they went bankrupt.
