Are you shilling for GURPS again Pat? Can you define this robustness for me.

Thanks, I gave up the deletion when a password was refused last time. Worth going through the final hurdle to be rid of more spam introductions which could alter my career.

How does running the campaign compare to playing it? I am still working on my Perec , Life a Userโ€™s Manual version of the MacAllister building for the parallel universe Paris version of the campaign to celebrate the release of French edition Delta Green.

Yeah, I donโ€™t think I would touch a beverage called Ethics Gradient or No More Mr Nice Guy.

Donโ€™t worry I havenโ€™t been around much either as work keeps dragging me to odd production facilities at the ends of the earth. Hopefully weโ€™ll get a chance to catch up soon.

I would love to give it a shot. I might even have to read some of the books first.

Wrong species I know, but I expect it was the line culled from the script for delivery by the conquistador Toads in the battle versus Aztec Chameleons in Jodorowskyโ€™s Holy Mountain. I expect the frogs were too rebellious to direct.

It is spoken by Mark Antony in Act 3, Scene 1, line 273 of William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar: "Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war.โ€

Are you running Impossible Landscapes again? Is this a fond tribute album?

You could wear a gas mask and full body armour under that thing.

Good for Bud! He was one of the most inspiring sources for inspiration when it came to all things Runequest. I still canโ€™t hear his favourite Runequest god Arkat in any other accent.

I have the best memories of a cross channel voyage on a stormy channel aboard one of these with my mum. It was like the most extreme film audience at the front windows. Seasick passengers all throwing up as we coasted at wave after wave at ever more extreme angles.

Cheers Rob. Its a miracle we survived the German comical NPC and place names, and other puns. It felt rude to edit any and corny as all heck to say some of them out loud. A fantastic campaign in great company. Big thanks also to Dan, Pieter, Mick, Ayaron, John, and all who joined us along the way.

Why not combine the two with The One Alien Ring - Moria, Heart of Darkness and other epic hive crawls.

I canโ€™t wait to see it. I loved the other Pynchon adaptation, Inherent Vice. The cults and organizations in that are also RPG scenario conversion worthy. This morning I will check out The Phoenician Scheme with the missus.

Congratulations! The premise of the first of the newly commissioned novels sounds great. I just wonder if major publishing still leaves time for occasional creation of a TRPG campaign between all the hardback edition signings, talks, interviews, and general canapรฉ and sparkly wine laced schmoozing.

This is inspiring for all the wrong reasons I suspect. From Lovecraft I always read deeper into his Poe borrowing over all else, and I am fascinated by all the Mythos potential from Sakoku Japan and Jesuit priests sneaking in all manner of illicit scripture of the Western religions among others.

Maga is fundamentally a populist white racism.
The slogan "Make America Great Again" is more accurately described as "Make White
America Greater." The fact that the tariff policy insisted on a 50% tariff only on steel and aluminum stems from the concentration of these groups in the Rust Belt.

The massive crackdown on illegal immigrants at the Hyundai-LG Energy Solutions joint venture plant in Georgia must be understood in this context. The scenes of our workers being chained and escorted away were reminiscent of the dragging of African slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. The
Department of Homeland Security boasted of
"the largest single-site raid in history," and Immigration and Customs Enforcement even brazenly released footage of the raid, which was highly violating human rights, as if to boast of their "achievement."

Far-right whites may have secretly rejoiced.
Even politicians like the Georgia governor and local lawmakers, who had been active in attracting factories, have shifted their stance and sympathized with their grievances. This is likely because it's difficult to ignore the anti-immigrant sentiment of native Americans. Like the McCarthyism that swept through American society in the 1950s, irrational madness dominates American society. The recent visa issue, which could have been resolved diplomatically with advance notice from an ally, is difficult to explain beyond political maneuvering. The fact that they mobilized helicopters and armored vehicles for show, as if they had been caught, is difficult to explain.

This effectively makes it worse. It wasnโ€™t appropriate to put my mouth where the money is. I will try to keep my egregious political opinions under the carpet a little better.
