Jazz music is okay as long as it's only instrumental and no one tries to jazz sing. Can't stand it, especially when they scat. I love instrumental jazz though. :)

I sing. I scat. Oh well. Sorry.

Crothers? Is that you?

Thanks. The whole Related To Geeks crew got together and we ate a lot.

That's great!

Is this on Drive Thru too?

Yes, part of the Onyx Path Nexus community content programme.

I see it's for a D100 game engine. Do you actually need a 100 sided die to play?

No 2d10 is fine.

Thanks!

Most of the time, I edit other peoples' writing. I also write reviews of many things, including Tabletop RPG products and related stuff .

I've taken published game systems and modules and tweaked them to make them work better for me. I've a sort of 'mod' of DDM Guild's D&D Miniatures Battles Game that I especially like, but can only use for my own amusement at my table due to legal stuff.

I'm working on writing my own fiction and have a few partially finished projects going. My latest one is for a short story anthology that has an actual submission deadline (Oct 30th), so hopefully, that will motivate me to get through the tough part of finishing something that's all mine. I'm really good at starting stories. The tough part for me is finishing them. I get part way, then the editor and critic in me starts tearing the story apart. :)

Maybe I need a co-author for some of these stories, but I'm not sure who I would ask.

That's why I write super Shorts. Cause I'm not good at big writing projects.

I have a collaborative writing social network that I coded myself called Collab. I call it a writing game.

I look forward to reading some of your fiction. Forget about that inner critic and just plough through. The author is the worst person to critique his/her own writing.

Thanks for the encouragement! When I manage to get my latest short story written, I should find someone to proofread and edit it before I send it in to the guys doing the anthology. I can proofread my own reviews and short articles, but you're right, I probably shouldn't critique my own original fiction.

I wish I was more into coding than I am. I enjoy making mods or level editing for video games, but only if they have a fairly simple 'drag and drop' type of interface for it.

Math isn't my strong suit. :) I'm much better at computer hardware and have built several computers and upgraded others.

I can proofread it.

I got the latest email after the fix and you seem to have fixed it. Gmail didn't mark it as spam.

Thanks

I added Tacticon under Play Games in the footer.

That's some amazing work I'd be in cardiac arrest in less than an hour there.

Now that's funny.

Sgt. Preston of the UCon

With his faithful puppy dog.

Yup, the Boot Hill game is set in Montana near the border. Last year, had to stop the outlaws before they crossed the border.

Don't worry, if they cross the border Sgt. Preston of the UCon always gets his man.

Yup!

Thanks. I'll add that to A Funny Thing Happened Storming The Castle.

Just imagine the besiegers show up and they're all done up as clowns? :D

I worked Evil Clowns into a rewrite of the empty chest item.

Awesome!

I’ve been wanting to learn to 3D sculpt for the express purpose of printing my own minis. It’s really cool to see how far this stuff has come. Nice.

I didn't sculpt this. I downloaded the file from thingiverse. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3750572 My granddaughter can actually sculpt with a computer program and then print to their 3D printer.

I have some grey filament coming today. I'm almost out of the white that came with the printer. I think the grey will be better for miniatures. And I found a thingiverse thing that is customizable dice. Six siders where you can use your own art.

Congratulations.

Thanks!

I have too much white space on the cover I think.

Was this on thingiverse? I love the gnarly detail.

yes, it was. one of the other managers where I work, got a 3D printer and offered to print up some things for me as he experiments... this was one he found for me. He doesn't play, but he's getting interested now lol

I'll have to try to find it.

That's exactly what has to happen. We have to make it happen. Thanks

It's cool being on the ground floor of a new social media site again.

It is nice to see it grow. I hope we can gather all the scattered G+ folks.

My hope too. And other gamers around the world.

I like to buy a box full of parts online and/or at my local computer stores and building them from scratch. I'm using a PC I built ten years ago. I've replaced the motherboard, PSU and graphics card since then but otherwise it is still going strong. Put in a better PSU and mobo to support the upgraded vid card. Being both a tabletop and computer gamer, I tend to upgrade now and then. I enjoy the challenge, but in some ways am glad that installing hardware drivers is easier than it used to be.

I've upgraded and at times practically rebuilt PCs for friends and family. It's fun and they really appreciate it. I used to work for several different computer stores like CompUSA, Circuit City and Fry's before deciding to go back to doing it as a hobby. I enjoy doing it more when it's on my own schedule.

I'm like a black hole for computer stuff. When people upgrade their systems they bring me their old stuff. Or if it breaks they give it to me. A friend of mine had a hard drive fail so he gave me the system and bought a new one. The hard drive had a five year warranty so I returned it for a new one. I told him and he thought that was cool.

That's great! I've a PC Junkyard box and Wire Box of Doom in storage that I check before I buy any new hardware for PCs and other gadgets. My wife jokes that I could open an online store with what I've got in those boxes. :) Some of it is so old that I may never use it again, but you just never know.

Every so often I have to decide what's too old to use anymore and throw it away.
