Well, not quite but close. My venerable old Macintosh desktop may have finally given up the ghost and until I can get it into the shop to have it looked at it may as well be dead. So, I just wanted to let that one guy that sometimes reads this web log that I'll be posting even more sporadically than usual.
In the meantime I have a few ideas that I was about to pounce on, but kinda can't right now as a lot of the initial ideas are trapped in that infernal machine. The last thing I was working on was a Traveller interpretation of Howard Chaykin's early sci-fi effort "Ironwolf", originally published by DC Comics in Weird Worlds, then about 25 years later as a new hardcover graphic novel (with art by Mignola and Russell). It's essentially a cynical 70's take on the Planetary Romance genre complete with swordplay and feudalism and .45 Automatics and some odd ideas about space travel. I'll probably include Chaykin's lively three-issue "Twilight" comic as well, since it relates to the later Ironwolf one-shot.
The other thing I wanna work on is maybe overhauling XXVc's rocketship combat rules. I never used them, but I understand they are lacking. Hopefully it won't involve more than a few new rules inserted at strategic points, rather than having to start from scratch.
Ettin of Hexen (see my web log roll) has vanished and so his Care Bears rpg is on hold, I guess. A shame, too, cuz I happen to think that was a really cool idea, despite having no real interest in Care Bears or anything closely resembling them.
Hopefully, he didn't get eaten by hogs. Cuz hogs will totally eat you, given the opportunity.
Always a pleasure,
OO
