Law of Survival

Law of Survival is the third book in Kristine Smith’s Jani Killian series. It’s early, but I’m enjoying it much more than Code of Conduct so far. [As ever, more later.]

Next Game: Uncertain

Keep an eye on your schedules and let us know what days work for you this upcoming weekend. Friday night doesn’t work at the moment, so let us know how Saturday [the 12th] and Sunday [the 13th] work for you. Both are available– let me know which (or both) you can make.

When we left the PCs, they’d endured a spider ambush and fought off the draconian relief force. We had setup the battlefield for the caravan ambush… they’re in the PC’s sights. Everyone (save the watch) is just waking up as the caravan rounds the corner…

Update: Since everyone seems to be pretty flexible, I’ll call around tonight to see if Saturday at 6:30 pm works for everyone.

The Timeships and Eagle

I recently completed a pair of excellent books: The Time Ships by Steven Baxter and Eagle: The making of an Asian American president, volumes 1-5 by Kaiji Kawaguchi.

Time Ships was a fun read, with interesting takes on time travel and parallel universes. It was recommended by forester on CVGamers.

Next Game: Friday April 4th

We’re next scheduled for a game Friday April 4th. If you’ll have any trouble making it, please let us know.

We left off with the PCs in dwarven occupied land, looking for the second slave caravan in the light woods between Gleyn and the Fox Clan’s plantations.

If you get another warning about Html_Iframe.gq or anything else, can you take a screen shot and email it to me? Tech support was unable to find it.

Thanks!

Highest Hearable Tones

My hearing is almost as bad as I imagined. No loud music, but I’m still in cranky old person hearing ranges!

You thought you were really with it and in with your younger colleagues but they just laugh at you because you can’t hear beyond this!

The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 14.1kHz

Find out which ultrasonic ringtones you can hear!

Blocking the Courthouse Door and SFWA Europe

The two books are Blocking the Courthouse Door by Stephanie Mencimer, and The SFWA European Hall of Fame, edited by James and Katherine Morrow.

Blocking the Courthouse Door is a solid book; if you’re interested in the civil court system at all, you’ll learn something new in this book. The book is strongest when it’s talking about cases and industry organizations. While its critiques of the Republican machine and its adoption of tort reform are solid, the obvious stridency can get in the way of the well illustrated assault on non-corporation suits.

Next Game: Friday March 21st

UPDATE 2: OK, the 21st didn’t work either. Can everybody make the 28th?

UPDATE: Jim will be out of town on the 21st, but if he’s the only person who can’t make it, we’ll continue on without him. [It’s convenient that you ended last session in a town; he can always ride after you and join later.]

If you can’t make it tomorrow (Friday) night, please let me know so I can call around an cancel if necessary. — Scott

————-

Lots of people are busy this Friday (the 14th), so we’re looking forward to gaming on Friday, March 21st. Please let us know if you’ll have any trouble making it on the 21st.

We did finish off the battle; with the aid of the western strike force, you pulled off a stunning and complete victory over the attacking dwarves. That should be a sharp lesson to the foe.

Now, of course, comes the “what’s next” decision. I’ll try to put out some of the information that comes up here (and perhaps by email), so that you can discuss next steps between sessions.
