There's two (or 1.5, depending on your opinion) sections of this website that are Risus-based RPG stuff, and I'm mucking about with a possible third, so it's not to hard to figure that I like it. It's an elegant system - elegant in the sense that it's simple, powerful, and versatile - and I like it because it lets me, as a GM, quit worrying about the mechanics and concentrate on the story. Plus it's free. What else do you want? Also, once you go to the Risus page, you can wander around the rest of S. John Ross's cool web presence. Quick recommendations? Pokethulhu (free), the Risus Companion (inexpensive and great if you get into Risus), bucketloads of free fonts (free, duh) and other goodies. What are you still doing here, anyway? Go check it out!
I have lots of GURPS books. Like stupid crazy lots of GURPS books. And even if you don't like the GURPS mechanics (and a lot of people don't, I'll admit), their sourcebooks are almost uniformly great. Check them out. SJGames also has a free downloadble version of the most fundamental GURPS rules available, called GURPS Lite, so if the reason you don't like the GURPS mechanics is because someone else told you that you don't, why not download G: Lite and give it a spin?
I like history, and I like historic guns. Dixie Gun Works has both, plus a whole library of cool books, historical clothing, and just general retro superfly awesomeness. Plus, if there's anyone out there who REALLY likes my webpage and has $700 to spare, I've got my eye on the replica Japanese matchlock musket so I can show up my buddy with his replica katana, while still being authentic to the period...
I've lived in central North Carolina my whole life (with the exception of a few years for school),
so I have no real excuse for never hearing about the Schiele Museum in Gastonia, NC until I saw
it featured in a recent episode of the History Channel's "Extreme History with Roger Daltrey."
Oh well. Having discovered this place, I'm linking to it here for two reasons -
A) Primitive technology is cool, and I wanna go to the Schiele Museum Aboriginal Workshop and learn to make flaked stone axes, and
B) To point out that lots of times there's something really neat within an hour or two of your hometown,
and you might not find out about it until a member of The Who does a TV show there.
More to come later, as soon as I sift through all the chaff in my Favorites list.
