Just got an email from Kromm.  They're interested, but the scale of GURPS products these days is much smaller than back in the 90s, particularly PDFs.  For technical reasons (limits in their PDF software) as well as economic ones, they want smaller works.  48-51 pages was the number mentioned.  Kromm's already gone through the outline and offered advice on streamlining it to act as an "update" to the original IST rather than a stand-alone supplement.
More on this as I review and think on the rather large email I got.

In Ireland, we have a sport called Hurling.
Not to put a fine point on it, but it's basically two teams of fifteen men, each man armed with a heavy ash stick, whalloping a ball made of hard, solid leather around a pitch for 70 minutes. And they started wearing helmets in the last few years. It's been reasonably popular in Ireland for a while.

And recently, it's been exported to the UK by Sky.

The response of the English, is quite amusing. Especially the image of Wayne Rooney.....

See - THIS is a perfect example of why I can never take the Huffington Post seriously as a "News" Site. 
When even Keith Olbermann thinks you're insane... 
Wait - let me put the proper emphasis on that... 
When even KEITH OLBERMANN thinks that Huffpo's choice of a random NFL Linebacker (who killed a man during a DUI 5 years ago and is a 9-11 Truther WACK JOB...) for the position of "Fellow", covering National Security, is absolutely "The Onion" level life-imitating art BATSHIT INSANE. 
And he happens to be RIGHT. 
You're DOING IT WRONG.

So, I just bought a new graphics card... and it's too long to fit in my current tower. Can anyone recommend a tower that fits a Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD5830 1GB DDR5?

  Mood Music - What Helps You Write?
Posted by: Black Aeronaut - 09-04-2014, 11:55 AM - Forum: Other People's Fanfiction - Replies (6)

Pretty much what it says on the tin.
I recently came across this magnificent bit done for an animated short.  It is absolutely gorgeous, evoking desolate Celtic landscapes, and a sense of curiosity and wonder.http://jamesmarkmusic.bandcamp.com/trac ... inal-score
Another one I love - just wish it were a few minutes longer.  This is perfect for that one pivotol moment where everything suddenly changes and the world is seen in a whole other light.
Here's a favorite of mine.  This is excellent stuff for when you're writing that climax made of epic awesome.  It's like the visuals of a Saturn 5 lift-off transcribed into a piano and string quartet.
Generally, I don't like my mood music to have a lot of vocals.  The only exceptions that get a pass are when i am going for something very specific, and in that case I would need a very specific song.
