Greetings to the year 2021 from Aussie Land.

From the image thread...



May this year be better then the one previous.

Subj: A few Dates with a Firefighter.

Frigga is almost unique in Fenspace that we have an actual working Fire Brigade. 6th Platoon Frigga SAM train regularly as Friefighters, Rescue Workers and as Paramedics. Of course, it's heavy work, requiring a high degree of physical fitness. The Brigade requires a standard of fitness well above that of the regular SAM.

This leads us on to topic at hand - the First annual Friggan Firefighter's Calender.

Yes it is a little objectifying isn't it? But, it's all in a good cause and I'm sure there's something for everyone to enjoy in there.

Proceeds will be donated to the Nikaido Foundation.

Now if you'll excuse me, the first test printing has arrived and I'll need some time alone to inspect to results in detail.

Still in alpha-test, but if you have a Raspberry Pi-400, you can be a tester.

This morning a sizable explosion was reported in downtown Nashville with several buildings damaged. I am putting it in politics due to the lack of information about whether it was a gas pipe or a car bomb as has been speculated.

God willing, there are no victims.

I just listened to The Shepherd, as I do every Christmas Eve, which means that for me it is now Christmas.

Happy Christmas, everyone. Here's hoping that next year will be better than this year.

Old thread is here.

And to start the new thread on a lighter note, Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is still pressing Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick for the $1 million bounty promised for proof of election fraud. Pennsylvania found several cases of fraud on the Republican side, for those who don't remember -- like Dan Patrick, who clearly doesn't want to pay out.

Now through December 26th, two free PDFs from Onyx Path Publishing:

Trinity Continuum Core Rulebook
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/260...yxPathWeds
The Trinity Continuum is the core rulebook needed for other games in the Continuum: Æon, Aberrant, and the upcoming Adventure!, Anima, and Assassins. It’s also very usable by itself as a modern-day action-adventure game!

Monarchies of Mau Core Rulebook
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/243...yxPathWeds
D&D meets Three Musketeers meets Planet of the Apes, but with cats. Join the Monarchies in the ancient future as they try to rebuild society after their favored servants, humans, have left.

What do you think, better, less effective, or a different effect than the original version?

I'll start with the quintessential French-Canadian story in English: The Hockey Sweater, read by its author, Roch Carrier. If you don't know this story, then you cannot know the "two solitudes" that are Canada.

I didn't say it was efficient, just that that's what we're buying with it. Trying to get that price to performance ratio a little more favorable... I'm not even qualified to pretend to be qualified to make a suggestion.
