Another question for you Mission ol' boy, did you ever do that Jaxxon cosplay?

When they can use their pulse rifles, flamers, and smartguns, sure. Especially with unimpeded lines of sight down a long corridor. That was probably the most successful play-through of a mission that I have seen. The norm is for most players to be on a second, or even third character by the end. Do you still have a DeLorean?

I always enjoy seeing you FB pen posts! It is neat to see new life breathed into old pens.

I stopped reenacting and jumped back in full time to tabletop gaming. You can buy a lot of games for the price of a musket. Sure, since I never throw anything away, I still have all my stuff, but I'm unlikely to use any of it ever again. Games I've run lately included Star Trek Adventures, Alien, Vaesen, Old School Essentials, and some others.

Is this a trick question... like how much wood would a woodchuck chuck??? My vague answer would be, "enough to be useful, but not so many as to get in the way of being useful." My personal comfort level is a pistol, at most two, a sword, and a long arm that can be easily disposed of when no longer needed. I tried adding two additional pistols once, and that was three too many.

My guess is that this link has been posted at least four times now. That being said, it is a great site, and well worth a reminder.

Hmmm. I think we're on to something. I bet if there was a way we could connect all these on some web interface, and give 'em some fun little icon... like a smiley or something... and a catchy name like... like... LIKEbook!... would could make a fortune!!!

That pushed the envelope for me too. And I'm a simple country cartographer.

That was just a "for instance." My point was that on more than one occasion I was surprised by the author's apparent lack of research.

Where's the stinkin' 'Like' button?!?! Oh well... I guess I'll just have to type it. Blackjohn likes Duchess' comment.

Which, in my opinion, is the correct answer for any of those films. He's a madcap adventurer, and thus, like Bugs Bunny, not subject to the laws of physics. In the book it was more mundane type stuff, e.g., mentioning a ship's wheel on a ship that would have had a tiller, something along those lines. It happened a couple times, enough to be a minor annoyance.

Finally finished reading The Hobbit to the kids as a bedtime story. It took about 1 1/2 years to do it, but I did it. I'm now reading 20000 Leagues Under the Sea to them. As for myself... I'm trying to catch up on scifi classics, so my eyes have turned toward finding a used hardback copy of Asimov's first Foundation book.

Possibly, because the connection in my mind went 1916>Cranberries>U2 Sunday Bloody Sunday>1916=Irish Rebellion. And this from a guy who spent the first four months of 2011 doing nothing but painting 1:144th scale WWI airplanes and playing Wings of War.

A bunch of my friends do WWI in a recreated battlefield on a farm in PA. I'd go, but a) dressing up in funny clothes isn't on my priorities list any more and I don't really want to sit around in a trench with a bunch of guys reenacting WWI 24/7 for a couple days in a row. Reenacting without carousing? Where's the fun in that?

Off the top of my head, and without reading further down-thread... isn't that the year there was some sort of Irish thingy going on? Bloody Sunday? Something like that?
