BayCon preliminary schedule.

Only three panels this time, although I've asked to be added to a fourth (a Dr. Who panel on Saturday.

Sat 19:00, Carmel: Are Star Empires Feasible?

This is one of my suggestions. Doing design work on the Concordat, I'm wondering just how likely a star-spanning state is in reality. Even assuming easy FTL, the sheer distances and endless room for expansion seem to argue against the traditional vision of an empire of the stars.

Sun, 14:30, San Carlos: One System to Rule Them All

This is going to be fun, since it seems to be mainly about d20, and I'm a solid GURPSian. If we turn it to a more generic discussion of universal system, it should be interesting.

Mon, 10:00, Cedar: As the Water Rises

A panel about the effects of global warming and the melting of the ice caps. I wondered why I was on this, then I read the capsule description.

Let's say the polar ice caps melt, and the water level slowly starts to rise. Who will get wet first? Where will all the penguins go?

Yup. Penguins. No wonder why I'm on that one. :)

So, ataniell93, aurictech... are we doing a party?

"Nothing can be refused to men like you!"

Today is Camerone Day

( The Battle of Camerone )

The Legion, and all infantry around the world celebrate Camerone Day.

No Doug, this is an *outline*

Redoing my Concordat outline, and I lust realized that the outline for the History chapter is reading more like the chapter itself! It's just more convenient for me to lay down all the ideas there.

I'll do a clean version for the submission, but this will remind me of what goes where.

Right now, I'm up through 2266, and the end of the colonies war with Earth and the acceptance of the Concordat by all parties.
