Show & Tell

Anyone out there in the OSR Grogosphere™ probably has at least some passing familiarity with the entity known as Thorkhammer, otherwise known as Robert "R.C." Pinnell. Who and what he is and what I think of him are demonstrated in the mock advertisement (based on a real ad for the drug thorazine) presented here. 

Here's to you, Thork. I hope you get everything you deserve. 

XXVc Notebook- Firefly, part 2

Here's the second half or the crew. I basically gave up on River when it occurred to me that she was not much more than a plot device. I'm sure that would have changed had there ever been a second season, but as she is in the show and movie... plot device. 
As with the part one, some skill are followed by a question mark. Those are ones that I debated were necessary to play the character. I don't think there's a need for a huge list of skill for characters. This is XXVc not GURPS.

XXVc Notebook- Firefly, part 1

Okay, here are the crew of Serenity. It was taking me too long to finish these, so I'm just putting them up as is. Everyone's Armor Class would probably all be in the 9-7 range, I figure, since they always just wore regular clothes. Hit points... who cares?

The next thing I'd add would probably be weapons, but there aren't any gunpowder weapons in XXVc. Anyway, here's the first half, the second to follow shortly. Feel free to critique them, I'm sure there are problem areas.

XXVc Notebook- game update

Internet issues and rusty GMing skill have postponed the game for a bit. Gonna run a few practice combats and try to get my mojo in gear again.

The last session found the intrepid heroes in the sprawl outside Ottawa on their way to the access point when they encountered a two-man RAM patrol in a bar. Combat had just begun when it occurred to us that I was in over my head. And so it goes....

In the meantime, here's Buck Rogers encountering some nice Canadians. Enjoy.
