My RPG
matt | January 30, 2004
Is dead. Call of Cthulhu D20 killed it. It fixes the majority of my problems with the D20 system (namely, classes. I hate classes. They have a very elegant class-less system, which basically allows you to create your own classes). So, I am going to use those rules with a couple house rules. What is [...]
Poopy

None of my light guns work with the 100Hz refresh rate of my TV. I sad. I used to have one that did, but it broke. There is another one on the market that does, but I don't really like it all that much.
I suppose I'll just wait – after all, in a year, if [...]
I did a bad bad thing…
matt | January 25, 2004
So, yesterday, Liz and I were supposed to go skiing. Except, I don't have any ski pants, so we went up to Warwick to buy some ski pants. While we were there, we started looking at mattresses (because Liz has a nice queen size bed but she just tossed her single mattress on it and [...]
My brain is mush
matt | January 23, 2004
Which reminds me, 2 choice quotes from Marj's children (Marj is one of the Software Engineers at work):
1.) After hearing that I was planning on spending the weekend playing PS2, her son said:
“His brain is going to turn to mush”.
2.) After hearing about the rap dictionary that Sabin told me about, her daughter said:
“When geeks [...]
first cut of rpg

It's not done yet, but this will give people a feel for it, I think.
I don't say it on here, but it is made to be mostly compatible with d20 modern + D&D 3rd ed equipment lists. The only thing that needs to be changed is armor. The game balance is slightly altered – starting [...]
no coffeehouse today
matt | January 22, 2004
There is a band playing there, and this makes conversation hard….
I'm back!
matt | January 21, 2004
I was just busy so I didn't update my LJ…
- Thursdays in the coffeehouse are back on. Woohoo.
- You know you're back in Rhode Island when a voice comes over the airport intercom asking for an “electric caht”.
(For the non Rhode Islanders, Rhode Islanders do not pronounce the letter 'r' in many pieces of sentence [...]
Went to Universal Studios
matt | January 18, 2004
So, we went to Universal Studios today. Not a bad place to spend the day. Not much to say about it. I took some pictures, but nothing really worth posting.
Yesterday we visited an injection molding facility. It's pretty nifty how they mold plastic, and all the cool stuff they can do. They actually make a [...]
Update from Cali
matt | January 16, 2004
It's been a long two days.
Crash course in SCO history, IRC style
So, I had a long series of meetings yesterday and today, and one of them culminated in me going toe to toe in heated discussion with our divisional president (the division that does about 90 million in sales a year) over open source stuff. [...]
