Heavy Metal Sunday has a GLVW of 80,000lbs.

Another find by Rick out at my Vendor in the Corn. Airbourne is an Australian metal band that's been active for a couple of years now. They' released an EP and a album to positive critical and fan response, and many people hear a definite flavor of AC/DC in their music. I'm also hearing Judas Priest and the Scorpions.

Currently, the band is finishing up with the Mayhem Festival before heading across the pond for a pretty goo tour of Europe.

Today, we present the title off Running Wild. Take a good look at the truck driver.

Before the Dawn...

OK, I've been drawn back into Traveller through RTT. However, I'm not going to be buying the Spinward Marches book. As the cool kids say, "Been There, Done That."

And yes, I have the t-shirt.

The problem with the Classic setting is that it has been settled. There are no frontiers, no place to boldly go. Everywhere you turn there is some sort of interstellar authority. In talking with my pool of potential players, they want mysteries, exploration, and high weirdness. I just don't see that in the traditional setting.

So instead, I'm looking at the Long Night, specifically, about -630 Imperial (3893CE), 20 years after the formation of the Sylean Federation. I see Sylea as having held onto it's technology for the most part, sliding a bit to TL11, but lacking resources to really build a fleet of starships until a lucky find in about -660 allows them to begin expanding. The discovery of, and absorption of other near-by survivor worlds forces a change in government, and a representative republic replaces the old monarchy.

So, what do y'all think?

It's time for Guess That Song!

1. put your mp3 player or computer music player on random.
2. post the first three or four lines from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song (skip instrumentals and/or any song that gives away the title in the opening lines).
3. post, and let your friends guess which song and artist the lines come from.
4. NO googling!
