His next one of What Houses and Mercs had seems interesting as well...

The latest fictional installment of our campaign. The experiment is going well, taking our actual gameplay and converting it into something readable.

Cool - I can't wait to hear more about it.

jimdigris · « **Reply #1086 on:** 23 February 2018, 13:59:33 »

Honestly, I liked your version better, although it seems unrealistic that all the Clans wouldn't have back-up genetic repositories in the event of an unforeseen accident.

Thanks. I'm glad we ended up where we did.

I took a bit of a mental detour over the last five years...and this is the result...a new book.

Ok the Highlander joke and the AC/DC song are nice touches

jimdigris · « **Reply #1092 on:** 09 March 2018, 17:03:37 »

Blaine,
Have you considered having your ashes sent to Gencon every year?

bpardoe870 · « **Reply #1093 on:** 10 March 2018, 14:05:43 »

I like the idea. I want someone to get on the balcony over the crowd's waiting to get it and toss my ashes over the masses. That way everyone gets a little bit of Blaine.

jimdigris · « **Reply #1094 on:** 11 March 2018, 08:00:46 »

One other thing you might consider: Have your ashes mixed into cement and carved into a life-sized statue in the pose of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh smiting his enemies. Attach a motion sensor so that whenever someone walks by, the music from the beginning of "The Mummy" is played.

Knowing your luck the instructions will be messed up and they'll spread you all over the entrance and everyone will walk all over you.

That still can work with an AC/DC song BTW

LOL - I could supply hours of traveling horror stories but have not yet resorted to heisting a Cushman

Yikes! I think I would have opted for the rental car option long before you did, but at least you got home!

jimdigris · « **Reply #1099 on:** 17 March 2018, 07:45:48 »

This is why I always drive from NY to FL or Gencon.

I have over 1.36 MILLION miles on AA (most of it earned on Cathay Pacific.

They don't all suck however it is a cutthroat industry.

United however - they suck

The Asian airlines like Cathay, Singapore, and couple more set the bar on standards that a airline should be.

Absolutely.

And United sets the low bar. Enjoy the Friendly Skies or we will beat the snot of you or kill your dog.

In the hard plastic seats that are smaller and closer together than the seats on any other airline's planes.

Oh you have to fly Viet Jet.

Taipei to Hanoi for $8 - yes $8 - there is about $50 in fees.

Just don't expect any leg more if you are above 5 foot midget - a very painful 2 hours and 50 minutes

The airline industry is going thru to many changes and airlines cant keep up. People was the luxury but don't want to pay for it.But that is the life.

Many airlines are doing a if you want it pay for it, if you don't you don't pay for it. Why pay for things that you don't really need.
