Proud of my kids: I was listening to a Traveller podcast and they hear something about how much hydrogen fuel you get from refining water. They spot an error, discuss molecule composition & standard atomic weight, and then branch into variance of fuel collected from scooping gas giants. NERDS!

Well that’s it, I left my Ultima cloth maps with the shop that will do custom frames for them. Can’t wait to see those maps on my walls!

Dolmenwood has arrived in Western Canada! There was a cloth map involved so of course I had to get on the Kickstarter… 😅

Uh oh, I’m in trouble… I started listening to a bunch of Traveller podcasts. Signals From The Core, the long-ended Behind The Claw, and even the SAFCO podcast. I blame this on my recent acquisition of a bunch of GURPS Traveller books which, well, is probably also trouble?

It’s funny to watch people be mad at South Park: conservatives who wrongly thought it was “on their side”, and liberals who take it too personally. I’m a big-ass socialist/green and I find the show hilarious. Parker & Stone are just assholes who will be mean to anybody, and that’s why I like it.

The good boy is tired, so time for a nap. My dog too.

“The Fall of Icarus”. Stunning photography.

Find the golden retriever!

It’s decided, this year for my Christmas/birthday gift to myself, I’m getting custom frames to put all my Ultima cloth maps on a wall! For now it will include Ultima III through IX, plus Shroud of the Avatar. I’m hoping to eventually also get Ultima Online’s map.

In yesterday’s RuneQuest game, the Yelmalion PC marched with a warband to meet Harvar Ironfist in a heroquest. An identification contest was issued and with cunning nerdy bullshit the players tore down Harvar’s god-forming. The PC is now Yelmalio, Harvar is the False Sun, and killing is starting!
