I saw an interesting bit today (linked on a political magazine's blog, and referencing the Iraq theater) about soldiering. It is a really good read from a former soldier (or a Marine, I'm not sure). Here is the money quote for me:

Quote:

Then it hit me. Proust had his why-bother cookies, but it's the smell of mess-hall grease in the morning that takes me back. As more soldiers and Marines materialized from the transit-camp tents, headed for the funky latrines or lining up early for chow, I was h

In Moot Member Blogs PbP is getting going with some action	Entry Tools	Rate This Entry

All righty! The 30th Anniversary PbP is finally getting into some action! We are coming out of our popsicle units, adrift in a damaged ship with nobody else around (Edit: so far as we know end edit). One of the players seems to be a (quite literally) "take charge" kind of guy. (Edit: Actually, more than one... end edit) Scarily, he also has a really big gun, and seems just a little too eager with things that go boom. (At least from an engineer's PoV. ) It's been odd, as several fo ...More

In Moot Member Blogs A draft of my chargen rules	Entry Tools	Rate This Entry
#8 August 7th, 2007 11:10 PM
OK, I have a draft of my "house rules" out there, finally. The thread is here. Please give honest feedback (here or there) about it (I can take it!). The idea is: 1) to expand the careers (much like TNE) without simply having 400+ careers with different tables for each, 2) to get some of the flavor of the expanded systems without having to roll each year..., and 3) to be able to create more mundane characters (especially as NPCs). I apologize for the skills document - it should have bee ...More

Today, one of my uncles passed away. He had struggled for a very long time with a rare illness (compounded by other, more mundane, illnesses and their medications), and my mother called yesterday (Sunday) to let me know he wasn't long for this world. He passed away this morning. He was a pool builder for all the years I can remember (owned his own business - though I think he worked at Kaiser Aluminum before that), rode motorcycles until in his 50s (he and his wife), practically built my m ...More

Well.... I am back in civilization, but I'm not sure I like it. It was wonderful to not even hear the news for a week (except for the bridge crash in Minneapolis-St Paul ), have my cell turned off, no computer. Of course, we also had no air conditioning or flush toilets, but that's what camping is all about. I am now waiting for Far-Trader to return and un-pause our little PbP. Cause, civilization is a good thing, too.
