More gaming bits...

* Hive Fleet Giger is the Next Big Project to hit my painting desk. My sculpting abilities are finally up to the point where I can do justice to the biomechanica - it's a slow-burn project I'll be working on over the next year, but I'll post some pictures when I get it underway. The Queen and her brood are spawning nightmares...

* DWARFcon9 will probably be replaced by "Retrocon" - running in Caulfield. I'll be running an Arabian Nights-styled game, set in Exalted's southern deserts. When finished, Silent Streets will be "properly" written up as a module for other people to run - I'll make it into a PDF, available on request. Failing that, buy me beer (or parts to build biomechanical tyranids) and I'll run it for you :)

* Weapons of the Gods creator Brad Elliot has made the following statement about creating world-conquering martial arts. All you crazy martial artists should take it into account, when you attempt to level city blocks with your latest Unstoppable Annihilation Stance...

* Your mileage may vary. This guarantee voided where somebody else spent more years creating their kung fu than you. Strange Crazy Old Coots May Still Show Up Out of the Blue To Kick Your Ass. Small Midgets with Amazingly High Chi May Also Arrive in Town to Kick Your Ass. You may be found liable for destruction of noodle houses, marriages, or the fall of Empires, whereupon everybody will want to Kick Your Ass. Remember: When all else fails, it's really really good to have a god-weapon to back up your kung fu.

In other news, I seem to be the first point of call when we need any form of demolition done on site. I'm not allowed to play with building implosions, but people keep handing me crowbars and pointing me at things that need removing. It'd be more fun if I wasn't also trying to do a lot of work at my computer - I have a huge backlog of stuff to finish, and I keep getting sent on Destruction Duty.

If only you could combine the demolition work with the computer work. Investigate the point of distruction when a monitor impacts with a wall to be demolished! Or you could try throwing the wall at the computer to see which breaks first!

'I like demolition' he says whilst weilding the sledge hammer with one face sharpened into a blade. Hehe.

Maybe you could just get some of those deadly acids and pour that over the item to be demolished. All you need do then is wait!

I've already suggested introducing termites and waiting a month... we're demolishing timber structures at the moment.

Problem is, the small shed (120cm tall, 3m x 2m wide) was built like a small house, for testing apparatus. The roof is made of five interlayered timber sheets (lots of different-sized roof cavities, so they could measure temperature and humidity), and the walls are three layers thick. The outside has rotted a little (so the prybar can break it off), but the rest is held together with 6" bolts.

It's probably the most solid building on the site...

Of course, all those guys get the "Yet wandering heroes will probably kick YOUR Ass regardless disclaimer."

It's why it's so damn hard to get health insurance in the Wulin.

You can probably get it, but the premiums would be unbelievable :)

Unless you can prove you are a 0 destiny nobody who counts going out to buy rice wine as an adventure...

Brad Elliott Here...

This is why Warriors of the Wulin, as a rule, are always broke!

What about the teahouse owners? Do gongfangs have Wulin movement charts, like long-term weather charts?

I assumed it'd be more like a dangerous weather warning - someone walks through the town in the morning, calling out the Wulin Warning for the day.

"Early morning clouds, clearing to fine weather by noon. Small clusters of warriors sighted to the east, with the possibility of property-destroying brawls erupting later in the evening."
