Goddammit guys, now I've got a few hundred bucks worth of GURPs books (that I know I will never use to actually play and would have a bit of a job to even read, interesting though they are) on my want list. Thanks bunches Tongue

Sorry. (Not at all sorry).

Meanwhile, I fell down something of a hole this weekend and created this. Enjoy?

Mr. Fnord on FFN and Mal3 on AO3 Conceptual Neighborhood - yet another damned sci-fi blog • The Westerosi (ASoIaF) The Westerosi II: Subprime Directives: Extradimensional horrors threaten the Seven Kingdoms, and Captain Hasegawa of the Starfleet Rangers has to stop them. If she accidentally conquers Westeros in the process... oops?Fenspace (shared world)

"It is your job to personify the tyranny of the majority. You must brutally, ruthlessly oppress and persecute the fuck out of the poor misunderstood disruptive creep minority so that the privileged nerd funhaver status quo can be maintained. It's a thankless job, but somebody's got to do it. Fun Über Alles, all hail the Fun Tyrant, without him our campaign is lost." --SA user Angry Diplomat, on the GM's role.

I'm enjoying. In the "About the Author" note to the original IST book, Bob said it was "his attempt to reconcile the real world with what he thinks it should be", and I'm seeing something a lot like that here.

EH, I'm not really mad (just in case it wasn't clear) - the nice thing about 4th edition is that pretty much everything is available in PDF format, which I can at least open in Firefox and get the text reader to stumble through if I highlight the text first. Quite a bit spottier on the wilder fringes of 3e/3eR, but at least it's something.

I can't comment much on your image for similar reasons, though just from the rainbow of parties shown in the House and the Senate I can only say if only we had that kind of spread for real, to force a more consensus based approach instead of two nearly all-or-nothing opposed blocs with just a few nominal independents in Congress passing wind to the contrary.

(Also, why does this thread only show up in the "most recent post" preview on the main forum page but not in the subforum? Is it supposed to be invitation only or something?)

edit: Oh, duh, because it's in a sub-subforum. Derp.
