Standard Operating Questions

Bygamingballistic

Thursday is GURPSDay, and while writing a review of GURPS Action 2: Exploits, hopefully for this coming Sunday, I was reading through the section on Squad SOP from Chapter 2, and the point made on “Subtlety” jumped out at me. The advice it gives is “The GM should ask each player to describe his PC’s…

Heretical Countdown – what’s left to do

Bygamingballistic

I’m starting to really see the end of this. What I’m trying to get done this week: Backgrounds. Want to get them done, at least to first draft status. (finished 6/15) Shields.

Bygamingballistic

+Jeffro Johnson loves him some d4 Thieves. He’s pretty emphatic about it, as is his right. In my Heretical DnD project, he recently quipped that when I asked a question about rolling a pile of d4s he thought, for a brief, glorious instant, that I was returning the Thief (now the, sigh, Rogue with a Thief…

  1. When told the reason for daylight saving time the old Indian said…
    ‘Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket.’

  2. Speaking from bright and sunny Arizona, what is this “Daylight Savings Time” you speak of? 😀
