“(Houses of the Blooded) feels like someone took Dogs in the Vineyard, FATE and L5R and put it all in a blender with the setting on pre-Atlantis mix.” 
— Judd, from The Sons of Kryos

I think that’s my favorite thing anyone’s said about my game so far.

Political News

The Senate will vote on the new Attorney General. The one who’s never heard of waterboarding and doesn’t think it constitutes torture. One Senator went so far to say, “I don’t like him, but he’s the best we’re going to get from this Administration.”

We went from nominating the best and brightest to… well, someone who doesn’t believe drowning someone while they’re tied down is torture.

Great.

Meanwhile, another Senator wants to investigate TV evangalists to see if they are taking advantage of their no profit status.

Hey! Senator! I’ve got a word of advice for you! Why not investigate them on FRAUD!!!

Assholes.

Here are the links.

One of These is Right…

… and the other should be put to death.

Regarding Ridley Scott’s new movie, American Gangster…

Professional Movie Critic Jack Matthews: (likes the last 40 minutes) “but the film is 2 hours and 40 minutes long, and the runup, setup or whatever-up you want to call the first two hours is largely a drag.”

And…
 
Professional Movie Critic Jan Stuart: “the film begins to show its flab about two-thirds in”

One of these two men must be correct. They are both professionals. Newspapers pay them more than you and I will ever see in our lives to watch movies and tell us whether or not we should like them.

Either the movie fails in the first two-thirds or succeeds in the first two thirds.

One of them is correct and the other must die.

Or perhaps we should shun movie/book/tv/game critics, read/watch/listen to the material ourselves, stop acting like sheep, and make up our own damn minds.

Skeptic Stones

oshiah and I are starting a small business. “Skeptic Stones.”

Medallions that protect you from the power of psychics, faith healers, astrology, tarot cards, spells, curses, and other paranormal, occult or supernatural powers.

  • Each stone holds seventeen SSU’s* of real skeptical power!
  • Powered by real skeptics!
  • 100% guaranteed to work!

We just need a “skeptic” symbol and the means of making the medalions.

Any suggestions are welcome.

*EDIT*
After a short discussion with , we have decided the stones will have the word “NO” in multiple languages. French, German, English, Russian, Aztec, Navaho, etc.

Dark Ones Party: Vampires & Zombies

The theme for tonight’s party is “Vampires & Zombies.”

had a marvelous idea for a costume, but the cost was a bit prohibitive for either of us.

Seeing as it is vampires, I thought about bringing out some old friends.

I would do Marcus. I have the hat, but I don’t have the goggles. They’re in storage.

I would do Mr. Finger. I have the glasses, but I don’t have the hat. Storage.

I could do Walker, but nobody would get it.

I could also do Jacob Black… but that’s the same problem as Walker. Hm. Maybe not, on second thought.
