…in three part harmony
Kingdom Building Game News
By now, all of you players have gotten your Secret Mayoral Orders. Nothing like the GM throwing a spanner in the works, eh? I eagerly await your turn replies…and any private emails you may care to send:)
The Corps of Discovery portion of the game is being tinkered with and I’ll get y’all started on creating your characters soon.
Other News/Random Thoughts
Regarding the financial woes here at Chez Cross: We have entered the light at the end of the tunnel and DAMN, is it great. Fuck you, late bills! FUCK YOU, credit cards!
The whole Mid-East mess: This may well mark me as a heartless motherfucker, but I DON’T FUCKING CARE! Those assholes have been fighting among themselves over everything from waterholes to which splinter of lsam is the holiest for thousands of years. Having Israel to focus on is just the latest target (and even then, they still fight amongst themselves). If it weren’t for oil, the western nations wouldn’t wipe their asses with that part of the world. So no, I just cannot muster up a bit of caring for the latest shitstorm.
All the religious nuts who are gearing up for the apocalypse: …just like they did before Y2K…and during the first Gulf War…and Vietnam…and Korea…and WWII…and WWI…and every other war…and every time a fundy preacher feels like stirring his flock up a bit. YAWN! Tell me again how religion is not just as addictive and mind fucking as heroin or crack or meth.
The garden: Ok, it’s time to pull up the squash plants in the garden. They’ve done very well and Grace and I are squashified until next spring/summer.
GenCon 2007 Madness: My Sweet Little Green Beans With Bacon Of Love and I have decided to take a more scenic route to GenCon next year (for our Triumphant Return To GenCon U.S. Tour), so we’ll be going TO the con via Route 66 (or those roadways that have replaced it). It only takes a day longer that driving on interstate 80 and there are MANY more places to camp, things to see, yummy food joints, etc. So, our trip(from start to finish) will include, in order: most of California, Arizona, New Mexico, the Texas panhandle, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, the Idaho panhandle, Washington, Oregon, and the rest of California. Just shy of 6,000 miles and all in about 17 days…and about $3,500. Which is a bit more than our week in Hawaii this October will cost us. 2008 is still a toss up:) Could be GenCon again, could be someplace outside the U.S.
GenCon SoCal this November: I am VERY tentatively considering going. Money will be factor, but not hugely so. More on this AFTER I get back from Hawaii in early October.
And now, work beckons. I’m outta here.
