Today was the big day, when we put on the entire armor. It went on more or less fine, didn’t pinch or bind her, and lasted a heck of a lot better than I thought it would.
Pictures of her first, then general fun pix of the day after. But first, my two favorites for the day, plus “Greek Chicks Conquer All”:
And many, many more . . .

Wow. Yet another snowstorm. Looks like total snowfall tonight and tomorrow could be 6-12 inches. Lovely. Today is GURPS-Day, but I don’t have anything for the first time in a while. Maybe I’ll postpone until tomorrow. I’ve been busy, though, with a few writing projects with +Peter V. Dell’Orto, as he mentioned in his own post….
Had an interesting question from +Mark Langsdorf about a situation that arose in his Mecha Against the Giants campaign. A SM+2 mecha (6 tons, ST85, Basic Lift 0.72 tons) wanted to curb-stomp a downed giant leader. That leader is SM+4, weighs 12 tons, and is ST160. He’s also got Wrestling at DX+4, which is a +3 bonus per…
While we were playtesting the Action Point rules for The Last Gasp, we ran through a boxing match. Or rather, one of my playtesters ran through a boxing match. The AP rules worked well, encouraging fighters to take standing 8-counts, lots of recovery actions, and generally making it take longer to fight. All well and…

A thread on the forums made me break out Excel again so I can look at the “optimum” one-one-one level of deceptive attack for all combinations of DA and defense level. The answer is darn complicated, turns out. Here’s an example of what I mean: This is the example Cadmus faces when he’s got his…
The Reloading Press is an at-least-weekly feature here on Gaming Ballistic for 2016. Each week it looks at some interesting real-world cartridges and presents them with hopefully-useful information in GURPS Format. 6.5x39mm (6.5 Grendel) The 6.5 Grendel was designed with the goal to give the AR-15 platform “legs” out to 200-800 yard, and even farther…

If I show these to me granddaughter, especially of yours in the Corinthian helmet, she'll want to attend next year.
Happy to help! The hardest part was the bowl of the helmet – took me a few tries. Gotta make it bigger than you think. Hope to see you there next year. This seems to be a thing for us now; my eldest has gone twice now and she's quivering each time it approaches. Next year, my younger will be nearly two, so she should enjoy it as well.
