Reading: Mostly RPG stuff (Steve Kenson's The Retconquest for Icons, which would be a great first adventure for any super-hero team - the first of the Power Profiles for M&M - some Champions stuff to help me get ready to make a character.) Plus comics - the last Star Wars: Legacy trade came out, so it's time for Cade Skywalker and Darth Krayt to ( Read more... )

For long and various reasons, I'm going back to buying a comics in floppy form, as well as trades. Most of what I get will be trades, but there are a few things we (the Jones clan) will be getting monthly ( Read more... )

Merlin Mann (I think it was him) said that his job wasn't to write stuff, it was to sit at the computer and make the keys go clickity clack. Which is what I've been doing. I've got a project in the works for Vigilance Press and it's been slow going. I put some absolutely horrible prose down this weekend, but it can be fixed. The pitch was very well ( Read more... )

First day back at work after a week off. Urg. So very tard ( Read more... )

Edited to Clarify: I'm not dreading Christmas. I'm really looking forward to it. Sometimes I wish there was a "I'm trying to be funny here" tag so folks wouldn't fret ( Read more... )

Games with Pixels: Bought the Legacy and Mark of the Assassin DLC for Dragon Age 2, and blazed through them, mostly ignoring sidequests. And I've just fired up DA:O again, getting around to the Human Noble origin and looking forward to the doomed Alistair/Cousland ship. (Ahh, the angst.) Totally wishing I had gotten SWTOR, but realizing the DOOOOOM ( Read more... )

At some point down the line, our Tuesday Crew will once again pick up our big fistfulls of d6s and start up Champions. It's going to be a stretch for some of us, as the differences between Hero 6th ed (aka, the bullet stoppers) and the Big Blue Book are pretty big. I have character ADD, and I've already got multiple ideas in my head.

Reading: After polishing off Revan, I started book one of the current Star Wars multi-book saga. I did like how Luke got called on how easily the Jedi forgive fallen Jedi who cast off the dark side. And on the face of it, "he's not guilty of blowing up a solar system because he was possessed by a thousand year old force ghost" is kind of a lame ( Read more... )

Life: My beloved Purple Saturn is mostly dead. Some charity is going to get it, and my Mountain of Debt now has an "Ironman Silver" Hyundai Accent added to it. It's a nice little car ( Read more... )

Reading: Mostly the Dresden Files RPG books. I did finish "The Starter" (book 2 of the Galactic Football League series) and Summer Knight as audiobooks. The long drive is really eating into my reading time. When it's time for Jack to do his daily reading homework, I've been reading The Big Sleep, but only then ( Read more... )
