| Thinking about doing a new RPG campaign set on early-colonial Mars, starting over Christmas.
I'd use Sid Meier's Pirates! Gold for the global politics & economics, Mutant Chronicles for the factions and metaplot (Event Horizon, Ghosts of Mars, & Doom for plotpoints), Starcraft Terrans to fill random details, BattleTech for vehicle performance, and West End Games D6 for most game mechanics. Probably going to borrow spells from WoD Vampire (also from Matrix: Reloaded).
Considering that the people I'd play with actually know a (very) little about Martian geography, I may need to adapt a map; however, my biggest issue right now is that I don't have a hook to take the PCs in on. Sure, can tie 'em in for life once they arrive, but I need that initial excuse.

| Yeah, that TacOps post is actually here, and Xanga is absolutely retarded about logging into multiple accounts.
Also, accidentally picked a fight with ColBosch about how the "Era" descriptions were written.

| Today I started an auxiliary blog for my blow-by-blow readings of TacOps and tro3039. Not so much because the blow-by-blow is boring to read, but because it's starting to get in the way when I actually try to find stuff here.
TacOps: pages 54-63

| Actually, I've been asked not to sing. ...Not that I've ever sung at a karaoke bar, but I've sung with friends after leaving bars. That's almost* the same.
*For varying values of "almost."
I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!
The finer points of clear posting (forums related, but not BT)
When I'm responding to a thread on the BT forums, and a couple people say similar things, sometimes I'll quote only one short statement out of the bunch as a springboard in replying to the whole thread. Is that bad form?
I know some people skip posts if they don't see their own name, so it might be misleading in that way, but people also skip or skim posts that run too long... concision, and let the masses muddle out my meaning; or an expansive and thoroughly explored essay? I dunno.
I could go point by point, but it's harder to carry on a discussion like that ever since they got rid of quote trees; I've seen more than one argument devolve into confusion over who said what, when. PS- going to continue TacOps musings in the near future; I've read up to SupVees, but weather/terrain is next on my plate.
