Best email received today

From an email sent to me regarding the apparently still-burning brushfire at RPGnet:

“There is nothing wrong with RPGnet that couldn’t be solved by simply getting rid of the Tangency forum.”

I actually agree with that…it would focus things a bit more, I think.

Anyway–no more posts from me on the subject, aside from this general announcement: although I do appreciate the kind words of support, please do not email me about RPGnet any more. I’m not interested in what’s going on over there or what anyone there is saying about me. It’s hard enough to quit a site cold-turkey that I’ve been regularly visiting for the past 8 years, without having people asking me to come back, or telling me that I should go over there and bust heads. Respect my decision, please.

That’s all for now.

Thanks, and….FEAR THE KITTIES!!!

A quick note of thanks to the folks who have emailed me regarding the whole RPGnet hoo-hah. To repeat what I’ve told those folks, no, I’m not planning on going back. Although I do find it amusing that there is, according to one email, a 100+ thread about this “incident”, I’m not partaking of the temptation to go and read it, either…I figure that’s as good a way as any to go cold-turkey. Hell, it worked for my smoking habit….

My best friend sent me the following link today: From the fury of the Norsekitties, may the Lord God protect us…. There’s a few other amusing bits on that site as well, including Kittens that are Punk as Fuck., which is always a good thing.

Better than Nemesis…

A bunch of Trek fans have lovingly created this: Starship Exeter— an Original-Series-period adventure of a different crew, with CG special effects and some brilliant costumes, sets and sound-effects. The acting? Eh. Not great, but it’s obvious that they love what they’re doing. Who wouldn’t? The episode is broken up into three acts plus teaser and tag, as Quicktime files (mirror sites have it available in MPEG). Great stuff.
