  • Biography
    I have been interested in Role Playing Games since I was first introduced to them in 1977 at the ripe old age of twelve. I started with the original boxed set of D&D + Chainmail and Traveller. In the early eighties (1981 I think) the gaming group I was in discovered Champions. I continued to play until the late eighties or early nineties. Then, real life reared its ugly head. As my friends and I grew older and up, we no longer had as much time to devote to gaming and all of the friends that I gamed with eventually moved away. So, I dropped out of role playing for many years. My interest was renewed when I discovered MMORPGs and specifically Star Wars: The Old Republic. I thought it would make a great setting and wanted to use Champions. I rediscovered Champions, or actually the HERO System, and along with my interest in writing, my love for RPG's (HERO System especially) was rekindled.

    More space news!

    Hmm. SpaceX website lists the launch as being Saturday at around 7:00a CT. I wonder if SpaceX hasn't updated their site for the Friday launch or if the Youtuber has the wrong day? Edit: Elon Musk Tweeted (X'ed?) today at 1:17pm that they need to replace a grid fin actuator so the launch was postponed to Saturday. So, the SpaceX website is the correct date and time assuming we can trust Elon. Edit2: Here's a link to the tweet: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1725231694645461403 Lee
  2. ...from a better managed time...
  3. Weird. I've had 4 Covid-19 vaccinations (2 in the original series and 2 boosters). I have yet to get stuck on my refrigerator door...
  4. I remember Tanktics quite well. I cut my teeth on microarmor...
  5. Okay, did you two plan ahead for those jokes? They were just too good!
  6. Nah, it's up there for the best reason: Why does a bear climb (on) a bird feeder? Because it's there!
  7. I wasn't aware of any case law that covered game mechanics. Thanks. Can you point me to any of the cases? I'd love to read the decisions.
  8. Wow, so if I completely rewrite the Game of Thrones books in my own words and call it my own work, I would be safe from any legal challenge?
  9. Update: I stayed home from work yesterday (4/1). I was feeling pretty bad and running a fever of 100°F. But by the late afternoon it had dropped just about 99°F and was normal by that evening. I feel pretty good, now. I just had one bad day and even it wasn't too bad (I've had worse with just the Flu). So, all things considered it wasn't too bad. Now I just need to figure out how many points of Life Support I now have...
  10. Thanks for setting me straight. I love to learn new things.
  11. *cough* Glorfindel *cough* That guy can't get any love from anyone. Bakshi replaced him with Legolas in the War of the Ring back in the 70's and now Jackson with Arwen. I also didn't like the fact that the movie depicted her as causing the deluge that swept away the Ringwraiths instead of Elrond and Gandalf. It made her seem way more powerful that she was (in the "books"). I think it was this exactly. Eowyn was certainly the strong female character of the "books". Unfortunately, she doesn't really appear until the second "book". I suspect the thought was they felt they couldn't wait that long to show a strong female character. *I used "books" and "book" in quotes because Tolkien never intended for there to be three books. He submitted it to the publisher as 1 book who then broke it up into 3 books (probably for length).
  12. I think Rocket described my body perfectly in the same movie. "[I] look like melted ice cream." Well the side effects are starting to kick in. A couple of hours ago I started feeling feverish and right after I got pretty severe chills, although they're getting better. The fatigue is kicking in, too. My arm's sore (no worse than the first one, though). I'd give anything to not be here at work. I'm going to ask my boss if I can go home (he's really cool about things like that). But I also had a doctor's appointment (my regular checkup) today, too. I'm waiting to hear back from them to see if I should reschedule or not. It sucks, but at least it's doing what it's supposed to be doing. Just thought that some of you that haven't had either shot or just the first one might like some more info on what it's like the second time around.
