I loved this game. The opening credits music is a real banger. I only ever won a handful of times and that was by scuttling the Nostromo. Never killed the alien with the airlock or with the weapons.

In the 80s and early 90s I really loved MERP. Iron Crown had some great sourcebooks even if some of the things were conjecture and not based on Tolkien’s work or letters…(like naming all the Nazgûl).

“That the Laws must be obeyed in a Government of Laws, is an all important Lesson: for what can be more destructive of Liberty and property, than Government without Law, whether in one, few or many. Insurrection itself is Government assumed, and without Law…” —John Adams, 3 Apr 1799

Obituaries in Wilmington, DE | The News Journal Peter Kolchin, a distinguished historian of American slavery, Civil War, Reconstruction, and comparative slavery and a University of Delaware...

Peter Kolchin, a truly great historian and wonderful colleague, passed away on Monday.

He had transitioned to a well-earned and astonishingly productive retirement by the time I started at UD, but his legacy of erudite kindness will long mark this community.

May his memory be a blessing.

Redcoat photo shoot. Private, Light Company HM 52nd Regt, late 1774
People often ask me “why portray a redcoat?”
My simple reply:” Somebody has to play the punching bag in our national narrative…”

It’s a bit more complicated than that. But, their story is an important part of ours as well.

After a long stretch of sewing other things for other people, I finished my new coat for my impression of James Warren, Esq. Fully hand sewn except for four long interior seems that were also reinforced with machine stitching.

When walking about the town, a gentleman must have his walking stick and if the occasion calls for it, a sword.

Pictured, a smaller ivory headed walking stick, another gentleman’s walking stick, and my trusty colichemarde (small sword) stowed in a corner during a visit to the tavern.
