I'm baaa-aackk..

Computer went thud for a day or two, so no updating for me. Back now. Yay!

[livejournal.com profile] kshandra continues to prep for Burning Man. I know she loves it, but it's driving me nuts. My urge to take over and do a load plan for her is nigh-overwhelming.

GURPS is here! WOW Very high-quality book, hardback, full-color art, well-written and edited, and they've made the system truly universal now. As I read through the characters section, I came up with weird ideas and looked to see how I could do them. Each time, I had an good grip on the mechanics within five minutes.

Heading to work in a bit.

Oh, for some reason the "fix" of the computer ate my LJ client. It opens, but vanishes into the ether. Must see if Kiri can figure out that one.

GURPS IV

Is it slanted toward the fantasy side or can you create Lucas Trask and the Captain of the Free Trader Beowulf?

Right now, I'm leaning on spending my cash on GT:Nobles first.

If I were her I would let you do a load plan, because I know how bad I suck at it, but I'm not her. If by that you mean planning how to get all the required items from point a to point b without losing or forgetting any and maximising the use of storage space in the vehicles.

Hi You! Glad you haven't fallen off the face of the earth. Smooch.

Burned, man

Ah, Burning Man. Have wanted to go for about a decade now. Some friends of mine drove all the way from Montreal and made a film about it, called Black Rock Burning (http://www.blackrockburning.com). Very cool.

Unfortunately Burning Man collides temporally with Worldcon, and I'll be in Boston for that. Maybe next year, if I have the dough. Gah, there's a choice: Glasgow for Worldcon, or Burning Man...?

Must be off to the secret laboratory to work on my cloning machine...

If you want to write up a load plan for me, you are MORE than welcome to. Just understand that I may not use all, or any, of it in the final assembly. ;-)
