Post some Macros!Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979

Task Force Friday is on. First up, Positron. (March 7)

Badb will be waiting in Steel Canyon at 6pm Pacific. (Yes, that's earlier than I originally planned. Not sure this will be the 'usual time' or
not.)

We will not finish the TF in one night. We're going to get through the hard missions at the beginning and much of the boring stuff in the middle
as we have time for--honestly, I can solo the stupid errands during the week if needed. We'll tackle the harder missions at the end a week from Friday.
(March 14)

(At first, when I saw the post about "XP Smoothing" on the CoH website, I thought it was something to do with making the game run better on Windows.
Doh.)

So, anyway, has anyone noticed any difference in CoH due to the smoothing? I haven't had time to play in the past couple weeks... I'm hoping it'll
help me get past the hump I seem to be stuck at, but who knows.

And then the Real Numbers. Anyone used this? Is it handy? I've always liked the abstraction that CoH had -- Low, High, Very High, etc -- but I admit the
numbers geek in me finds the concept of true data compelling. At the same time, I can't help but feel that this is what I came to CoH to get away from --
the number-crunching munchkin. I know it's only been a couple weeks, but has anyone noticed Real Numbers making a difference?

Recently, I was reminded of an old canadian TV show that I used to enjoy called 'Prisoners of Gravity'. It was a half hour program that "explored
speculative fiction -science fiction, fantasy, horror, comic books - and its relation to various thematic and social issues."

here's the wikipedia page for a better description.

Youtube actually has 3 or 4 eps posted (broken into thirds), here's part 1 of an episode talking about Fans (seemed appropriate )

The intro sequence (which starts around the 1:15 mark) also fits Fenspace as it involves the host flying his car into space.

In honour of GM's Day (which, apparently, is today), a score of GURPS PDFs are on sale at http://e23.sjgames.com/]e23.sjgames.com. One of them is Bob and Peggy's somewhat-experimental sourcebook about bands of merrie men. See the March 4 entry under "What's New" for details.

(Oh, yes... Bob and Peggy, you still don't have author's blurbs on e23...)
