You see now I’m all trans human excited again. Eclipse Phase was bit hit and miss BUT they’re working on a 2nd edition, I might have a peek because - if done well - it’s a good fit for this genre (certainly the fluff is consistent) Aaron

What's the black and white image? Looks like a Dutch Rudder... It’s two people rubbing noses in greeting Aaron

Amazon did a good job with Phillip K Dick’s ‘Man in the High Castle’ - so here’s hoping Aaron But look at what they did to The Dark Tower... That wasn’t amazon was it? Aaron

Warhammer 40k Psykers - The Sisters of Silence shut that shit down fast. That’s what they’re best for, send them in shut the psykers down and followed by a bunch of terminators to take them out before they can rally. Aaron

I know it's something that our Yank Cousins won't get, it just didn't get the same traction in the U.S., but for peoples of a certain age from Oz, NZ, UK or SA - I'm fucking loving the hell outta of this new reboot. 3 episodes in ... I'd play the hell outta an RPG based on Monkey and the Monkey we all remember Aaron

I believe we’re made of tougher stuff than letting phobias, or ‘quite rationale life lessons for internalised precautionary and positively adaptive behavioural strategies that increase ones chances of living longer’, get us down or too upset Aaron

Spiders are bros! They eat mosquitos and other annoying bugs whose stated intention and sole purpose is to eat our blood! THey don't try to bug us, they're either a) bad at seeing things the size of us as anything but landscape or b) having a terrible day by accident. Where is your god now? That’s fucking horrible. A nest of potentially poisonous fanged twats ready to bite you when you’re not looking or crawl In your mouth and shit on your tongue when you’re asleep. Aaron

No no no no no no no no no ... kill it, just fucking kill it right now before it gets a chance to bite you. It's a fucking Shelob-mini and nothing good ever came from meeting Shelob Godammit, one thing Australia taught me: Q: 'how do you tell if a spider or snake is poisonous?' A: 'you don't, just assume they all are and keep them all the hella away from you' Aaron

R.I.P
Kanan Jarrus
aka
Caleb Dume So sad, but such a good death The foreshadowing was there right from the start of the episode but it was still pleasingly dramatic when the end came. I really like Filoni's writing style, Clone Wars thru Rebels, he creates good characters with significant deaths - I hope he's attached to the forthcoming liveaction series Lest we forget Ashoka - Filoni has promised to answer the question of her final fate by series end ... only a few more episodes to go.

Maybe what we need is a ‘History of Jackercon’ page somewhere to compliment the sign up page. It could include an archive of links to videos of past games (for those that are still existant in the public domain). Aaron

Whaddya think about the overall community Aaron? There seems to be an overall lack of interest compared with a year or two ago... There has been a culture shift. “Anarchy wears two faces, both Creator and Destroyer. Thus Destroyers topple empires; make a canvas of clean rubble where creators can then build a better world. Rubble, once achieved makes further ruins' means irrelevant. Away with our explosives, then! Away with our Destroyers! They have no place within our better world. But let us raise a toast to all our bombers, all our bastards, most unlovely and most unforgivable, let's drink their health, then meet with them no more.” - Codename V Aaron

Ahoy Jackers. So this would be FIVE years we would have Jackercon running and a quick estimate shows I’ve played in easily 30+ games in the past four years with you fine folks. I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to roll digital dice with at least 40 of you. I’ve been out of the loop for the past 2 years with baby and boat but I truly look fondly on the numerous gaming opportunities presented just because some crazy fucker in Pasadena started pontificating into a microphone! But with 28 Days to Go Jackercon 14 has Just ONE game (mine 🙄) listed and that’s only got one player. If Jacker culture has moved away from pursuing online games than I will let ‘er slip beneath the waves and just enjoy yappin’ with you folks here. But I wanted to give it one last push. (Nostalgic melancholy fully intended) Cheers, DT PINTS (Mrs.) Well I won't have my off duty til the week before - so I can only provisionally commit until I know which days/nights I have free Aaron

It sounds like less a problem with older gaming systems and more like another problem altogether. Given the likes of DnD had dropped stat related gender differences in 2e (and it was released in '89), I'd suspect hobby gate keeping by the great unwashed wanting to 'keep it for themselves'. This was a very real thing, and still is - like that stupid 'Nerd PSA' from a few years ago ... like everyone on this forum I have similar hobby interests like those guys (the nerd PSA), but I was never one of those guys and they'd want me to drop my hobby because I'm not one of them (for me, at uni, we played ADnDnDnD - advanced dungeons and dragons and drink and drugs - as well has having a 'normal' social life). If they couldn't play the gender card then they would have found something else with which to gatekeep their hobby ... which annoys the shit outta me because more often than not (when encountering these types) I'd been into 'their' hobby considerably longer than them purely by dint of being that much older Another 'gatekeeping' tactic - "we only allow serious/committed RPGers at our table" Aaron
