Yes, that's what I said. Want to see the math?
If it was easy, someone else would have already done it.
If it was conveniently situated you wouldn't need to move it.
I was thinking that maybe, just maybe you might have known a fire mage.
Not being a mage and not having played anyone on Tekumel wealthy enough to have metal, I either didn't know or forgot that. What does metal do to magic? Also, I thought Chrine and the General both wore iron armor and ran about surrounded by a bunch of soldiers armed with iron quarrels. How did that effect his magic?
Magic would be one way, but I was thinking that if you only had some tools, you could cut it into strips and bend them in a rough circle.
Of course if only you had had a mage with you who knew some of that specialized military magic maybe he could have done something to melt or otherwise change the shape.
Copper and gold are soft metals. Much softer than bronze or brass.
What an unprepared bunch of gits you all turned out to be. Next time, maybe you'll know better.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda�all I hear, soldier, is a bunch of excuses for why you didn't get the job done.
That's the spirit! No pain, no gain, I always say. Though it's happier if you can make the pain someone else's.
You sound a tad touchy on this subject oh Glorious General. If you think you weren�t going to get people taking the piss out of you and second guessing you, why then you�re a lot more na�ve than you have any right to be at your age.

From AsenRG:No need to spend your vacation on that, Uncle. It's nothing urgent.
I will be back to you - we're having issues with the e-mail transfer.
Glad there's technical progress...
But now you're making me wonder what is the colour of a thoat's tongue
Same here; I'm going back and looking through all the books to see if I can't find anything/
I can totally relate to Ambereen's position, too, especially after reading your memories of being a Tekumeli editor and publisher. It's too bad it doesn't work for some of us, but that's simply our problem, and we should solve it ourselves.
Same here. She's pretty disconnected from the thing. We'll have to see what happens in the future.
This, we can do. And out of inventory, too...
Well I hope you immediately showed him the door. What an arse hole. I don't understand what happened to manners? Who does this kind of thing and think that it's OK? Chirine, as I've said before, you have the patience of Job. I would not not have appreciated that type of comment at all.Oh, tell me about it. I've had five years of gonzo visitors like this, all of whom have yet to come up with anything solid. It's getting to the point where I'm requiring references on 'cold calls'.
I think that the "inappropriate shelving" comment made by a first-time visitor was my favorite; I was a trifle nettled by it, as the shelves in the game lounge were one of the very first projects that Third Daughter and I did together. I was also a little startled; most first-time visitors to somebody's house don't kick off their visit by insulting their host. But hey; what do I know, eh?

Right. The Helium skiffs will have working beacons, and I'll see what else I have in stock. I have got a bunch of tiny laser pointers, and the notion of putting them on swivel mounts comes to mind. I have some laser-cut parts that were originally intended for a project that got abandoned, and I might use those as well.
Agreed about the scenery and terrain. I have a pretty good inventory of cast resin rocks that were intended for hermit crabs, and these have all the nooks and crannies you could ask for - as well as Mysterious Caves, laden with Secret Treasures and Dire Perils. And a few Ancient Ruins, too, for you to explore...
I don't know why but this reminds of a scene and line from one my favourite movies:Chirine! Chirine make BOOM!
" ... I like big fat men like you. When they fall down they make a lot of noise. And sometimes they don't get up". 10 xp for anyone who gets the reference.

I'll dig around; I don't think that there is a complete set of rules for jetan. I'll check the ERBzine webste...I might be weird, but what I'd like to see is Barsoomian chess - complete with the rules, and the society of other chess-players.
It's however really unlikely to randomly have someone whose preferences match mine. So you might want to check it with your players.
Understood; I don't have any players, these days. The group foundered on the insistence of the 'older' / 'more senior' players of interjecting their LGBT - heavy on the G, as the Ls, Bs, and Ts are not part of their clique - politics into every aspect of the game group. There was even talk of having quotas of 'certified LGBT people', so that the group was "properly inclusive". My definition of 'inclusive' is 'anybody who wants to play is welcome', but that allows the wrong kind of people into the group. I'm also not an elitist, but a populist, which is also apparently anathema to the politically correct. This attitude drove out he 'younger' / 'less senior players'; they got tired of the "All Gay, All the time" and stopped showing up for games.
What I've done, since the whole thing blew up back in late December, is simply let those who want to game here organize up their own group - "If you don't like what I do in my own house, organize up your own game group and I'll run something." Since the vast majority of gamers couldn't organize their way out of a wet paper bag, it's been very quiet hereabouts.
