Irrepressible glee

I just ordered Thousand Suns, written by [livejournal.com profile] maliszew. I took part in many of the discussions about the book, and offered to do some work on the default setting military.

Along with my hard-bound copy, I got a PDF download. I get a credit, and looking at the setting section, there's my work, ready for people to use.

I will never get tired of this feeling.

The entire game is excellent, and I am going to run it this summer. Using my own Concordant setting, of course. Which means I'm going to need to get busy. Because we're all adults with lives, I'm figuring on a once a month weekend gaming/dinner/more gaming session, with some side stuff done on a dedicated LiveJournal group. So, if you are local, and are interested, please fill out the poll. I emphasize local because I'm using this to plan things. Thanks.

Well, given my love of Ken Hite and Fortean shit, and the fact that I loved Seeker, I imagine a plot centering around a Macguffin, perhaps some sort of carved bird or small furry lizard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Winslow) or something, and the various groups searching for it, coveting it, demanding its destruction, or offering large sums of cash to forget it ever existed would be in order. That seems to offer what people are asking for, as well as allowing a good number of character types who you might find on an artifact hunt.

You mean The Winslow? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Winslow)

Now, this would be an interesting game.

"Okay, we have a lizard barely larger than my puppy, which can talk but has all the IQ of a toaster that mated with a lawyer, is utterly indestructible and immortal, it is the focus of over a thousand very violent religions, yet nobody can explain why it's so important, not even the superhigh galactic idiots."

"Yep."

"And, it's on this ship. And, we're going to take it to this planet in the middle of some of the worst territory in the Galaxy, why?"

"Because it pooped an arrow on the map."

..."Okay, I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't ME that was going nuts."
