So my phone is starting to die…

…it’s a 2 GB RAM, 32 GB storage Amazon Fire phone, and I just need something that can access Twitter, read Kindle books, and actually make calls. Price is, unfortunately, an object these days.  I’m also on an AT&T plan whose phone number I’d rather not lose: I’ve already switched my cell phone number three or four times in the last six years.

I probably will be getting a soft sell on this tomorrow at the store, so let me ask now: your thoughts on this?

Get the Ogre Miniatures Set 1 Kickstarter to $120K! Get me free shipping!

Well, $15 off, but shipping is supposed to be about $12 anyway so if the Ogre Miniatures Set 1 Kickstarter gets that far then it’s free shipping.  And then I can use that money to get the glow-in-the-dark Ogres as add-ons.  So, hey, win-win.

You should never do this with a bat to a car.

Assuming that it’s real, of course.  It’s maybe not real.  But if it is real, then you should never do this and there is nothing in this post to indicate otherwise.  Again, you should never, ever interrupt a Manhattan auto dudebro ‘photoshoot’* – one that’s blocking midday traffic – by taking out a bat and smashing a windshield.

NEVER. Continue reading You should never do this with a bat to a car.

Silence Dogood’s Master Practical Jewelers

“Lost time is never found again. Guaranteed.”

So you’ve stolen yourself a time machine.  The problem now becomes, how do you get away with it for any length of, well, time?  After all, aside from the usual questions about causality and predestination and whatnot, there’s also the practical problem that the entities that you stole the time machine from probably want that time machine back, and in all likelihood the original owners have some generally efficient way to track down their stolen property.  After all: how many times have you heard about people stealing time machines?

Exactly. Continue reading Group Seed: Silence Dogood’s Master Practical Jewelers.

Last chance to preorder GURPS Discworld and Mars Attacks…

…and get ’em before Christmas! I, myself, am going to have to wait for the new year – I’d feel bad about that, except that I know at least a half-dozen people who are a bit more worried about, say, seeing 2018 right now* – but there’s no reason why all y’all can’t get these two locked down in time for the holiday.  GURPS Discworld and GURPS Mars Attacks are both hotly anticipated titles this year: the first is an update of the excellent 3rd Edition version from – dear God! – 1998; and the second just promises to be good, clean, Atomic Horror B-Movie fun.

So go for it.
