Back on topic:  SR4A, Parnaoia XP Main Rulebook, and Airship Pirates.  Getting ready for JimCon.

Also working on Pre-Fab Characters for the Shadowrun Demo I'll be running.  I already have the print-outs for the Paranoia game done.  Don't think I'll be able to learn Airship Pirates in time to run that.  :(  But I can at least show it around.

...

I need a bigger bag.

Oh down the memory line... reading again my good old book of C.J Carella's Witchcraft. Had a blast playing this one.

Not so much reading, as writing a novel for NaNoWriMo - I guess technically I am reading it as I go through ;)

Ah yes, the "Maple Syrup Wars"!

Don't screw with Canadians on their own ancestral land.  ;D

<3 Ringo - Last Centurion was one of my favorite bits of military fiction (even with the bash you over the head political spin). Really nice guy too, for an Army puke ;)

What about folks from Ontario - that's ok,right?

Ontario, New York?  Sure.  :P

Ontarians?  Only if they're from the cities.

Honor Harrington: AT All Costs. Part of a series of books that is pretty much a Sci-Fi retelling of Horiatio Hornblower. And a properly done one at that.

Cold Copper Tears: Part of the Garret P.I. Series by Glen Cook. Story of a ex-marine detective in a fantasy world that reads like a Mike Hammer Novel...but with magic
Tech dreams of organic toys
And I'm runnin' out on the edge
Soft screams of the rockerboys
Echoing through my head

Webber did an amazing job with the Honor Harrington Series.  He did a series with John Ringo that was absolutely amazing.  It starts with March Upcountry.  It's amazing.

That's an absolutely amazing series.  I got most of them.  I'm missing like #7 and that's it.

Love the Honor Harrington books!  Wish ADV had not been successful in getting the TV rights to the property.
