How many episodes are in the series? I'm trying to figure out if I've got all the NA release DVDs, or if there's more coming.
Thanks.

GURPS Infinite Worlds: Britannica-6 |

Author: Phil Masters
Availability: http://e23.sjgames.com/item.html?id=SJG37-0605]PDF on e23.sjgames.com
In short: A world for the Infinite Worlds setting. Steampunk without superscience, and the 19th-century without Victoria.
It's a well thought-out, well written, highly detailed world, with plenty of things to do that don't necessarily involve combat, although there's plenty of combat possibilities. The society that's presented appears to fight intelligently - none of the "we must use traditional weapons because they're traditional" that prevades pulp-style gaming and pulp stories appears here! (Note: "appears to fight intelligently", not "fights intelligently". The technophilic nature of society extends to weapons, and nobody would deign to use an old device when a new one is available...)
And what's not to like about a setting that has a Channel Bridge, even if it is still under construction?

http://forums.sjgames.com/showpost.php? ... tcount=321]This post by Phil Masters over on the SJGames boards got me to thinking it might be a good idea to start promoting other folks' game products on this forum. I know there's an audience for this sort of thing here...
But I don't know where to make the suggestions. General/General has such a huge turnover of posts there that any recommendations thread would disappear quickly. But I don't see any better place to post this sort of thing...
Bob, this is ultimately your show. What should I do?

I was hired at my current job 17 and a half years go. In that time, I've seen a lot of employees come and go, and I've seen a few stay as long as I have.
I just realized yesterday that some of the women at work that I thought were attractive (or even, dare I say it, hot) back when I was hired -- or, in a couple cases, just five or so years ago -- (and who are still around) are, well... those that aren't matronly are actually elderly.
I feel like curling into a ball and mourning my lost youth.

It's a known problem that's been hitting a lot of Yuku boards on and off the last week. They're working on it, and the incidents themselves
don't seem to last too long.
If it helps, sometimes you can do an end run around an unresponsive top page by using a link on your profile to a message posted on the boards and then
navigating carefully upwards.

Character concept (what am I *smoking*?) |

(This would not leave my brain until I wrote it down.)
Why am I here, you ask? Why do you see me in the office buildings, warehouses, construction sites, and even the sewers of Paragon City? I'll tell you
why.
The signs are everywhere -- posted on the wall in the breakroom, hanging over the doorway to the shipping floor, even plastered on the inside of the door to
the *john*, for cryin' out loud. But nobody ever really pays attention to them... and I was no exception.
Y'see, the problem is that work is dangerous business, no matter what you do for a living. The government knows it, and they try to keep us safe. I
didn't realize how hard a job it was until recently. Just like every other schmuck out there, I would goof off from time to time. Y'know, just to let
off some steam.
And then I tripped on an unsecured corner of a non-slip mat, plummeting right into the jaws of a ... well, you don't really want the gory details. Suffice
it to say there's a reason I've got these robotic arms and legs, and a mirrored helmet hiding my face. Let me put it this way: if I took it off,
I'd violate half a dozen regs myself.
So anyway. That's the deal. I was stupid, I didn't pay attention, and now I'm paying the price. But I can keep others from making my mistake,
and as an officially licensed representative of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Enforcement Division, I'm here to do just that.
That's right, I am the OSHA Enforcer, and I'm here to inspect the premises. Let's take a walk.
(I may just actually build this guy -- or girl, I suppose, it could be either -- just for the LINES I could spout based on this concept. Heh.)

Okay, I have been skeptical pretty much from the word go on the whole idea of bringing Speed Racer to live action. Well it's official -
NOW I am beginning to be IMPRESSED!
I think they have made the right decision here in terms of the world and how to portray it. You CAN'T bring Speed Racer into the real world. Not really. So
the solution? Make the world as BATSHIT INSANE as the original series.
I think this...
JUST.
MIGHT.
WORK.
