To Kill a Dead Man

Portishead Appreciation Station Part 1.

A short film made by the band prior to the recording of Dummy. To Kill a Dead Man stars and was scored by the band and was something of a commercial to record labels.

Ninety-six below the wave

Just wanted to confirm to all three people who read my blog and already know that I will be attending Templecon in Providence, RI this February 6-8th where I will be premiering/promoting Up the River. For those not familiar, this is the Unhallowed Metropolis campaign I've been working on since September. The art is being produced now and the campaign will be being published sometime this winter as a pay-to-download pdf on www.newdarkage.net

More details when we have some official press for this up on the main website.

I intend to arrive in Providence on Wed the 4th and be hospitalized for alcohol poisoning no later than Friday evening prior to having to run the first session of my campaign.

I leave you all with the thought that an inappropriate leer is worth a thousand words.

Better of Two Evils

Yesterday I found out that WA state has absurdly lax gun laws. In fact, to acquire a conceal and carry permit here all one needs to do is not be a felon.

Needless to say this means I will be fulfilling my destiny to be The Worst Liberal and getting a handgun.

I am down to two probable candidates, a Glock 23 .40 is winning out based on price but I would also kind of like a 1911. Input is welcome (mandatory)!

Today while I was helping my dad with his fields, I realized that it would be more efficient if the hoe and the rake could be combined into a single tool. To achieve this goal I detached the rake-head from its shaft and then fitted it onto the butt end of the hoe's shaft, thereby creating an awesome "rake-hoe" or "hoe-rake" if you prefer. This is just the first of many farmhacks that I have in store and I will be posting detailed instructions on how to perform the Rake-Hoe hack yourself. Please subscribe to my blog as I rename it farmhacks.blog and get in early on what will be the cornerstone of the farmhacks community in the blogosphere.

Shut up and buy

Go buy No Quarter 21 to see my Gen Con interviews and article lead-ins; also the brief descriptions of a few of the new Metamorphosis models. Then write lengthy letters to the editor complimenting my amazing literary skills. Thanks in advance.

My second request is probably also going to go unfulfilled but would be appreciated nonetheless. I need some quotes from the Victorian or early Edwardian period relating to exploration, sea voyages, South Seas cannibalism and tropical disease. Quotes can be from real people, poems, or anything written during that period. Anyone who gives me a quote that I end up using will have the dubious honor of being immortalized as an NPC in something I write in the future.

Also, if anyone has books or films regarding the Weimar period in Germany I am very interested for research purposes right now.
