Somewhere upwind of me is a fire. Probably big and it smells electrical.

Frankly, I am surprised
Jul. 5th, 2010 12:48 pmI expected that the source of the smell and the smoke last night would have been something bigger than a simple farmhouse fire.

Is this what I think it is?
Jul. 5th, 2010 01:24 pmIs this the text of Harrison Brown's The Challenge of Man's Future?
Warning: pdf
Also, I seem to recall Brown was keen on eugenics.

A question I could not answer
Jul. 5th, 2010 04:26 pmAside from Will Shetterly's The Gospel of the Knife, are there any other explicitly semi-autobiographical works of urban fantasy in which the author’s stand-in is revealed to be God?
If I recall correctly, Thomas Disch revealed in The Word of God that Thomas Disch was god. Disch seems like a particularly unsubtle stand-in for himself, though.

Spotted lurking next to my house
Jul. 5th, 2010 10:36 pmOne rather foofy black and white cat. Probably not another Maine Coon. Definitely alarmed to learn that it was not, as it clearly believed, invisible. Good running speed.
It looked an awful lot like Blotchy's dad but it can't be him because he was old in the mid-1990s. Be nice if the line re-established itself around here.

What we learned from tonight's M&M
Jul. 5th, 2010 10:38 pmThe GM is busy so we got together to play with the rules. What we really learned is that we need an M&M guru to question.
Anyone got thoughts on what "save for half damage" means in M&M, which has no hit-points?
Oh, and it turns out the mentalist can mentally grabble either the entire population of the Eastern Seaboard at once or everyone in North America, I forget which. Selectively, too. This kind of puts Ben's motto of "never stop fighting until you've done at least a million dollars damage" into perspective. Although in the test combat we did, the characters did manage to stop a robbery that would have netted tens of thousands of dollars with only major structural damage to the bank.
