When we got down to Chesapeake, one of the things Kevin promised me was a gaming group...

Apparently several of his work-friends wanted to game and Scott (to the shock and surprise of no one) is a suck-ass GM, so Kevin thought it wouldn't be too hard to put a group together.

Which is, of course, why we're gaming with Greg (who I have known for some 8 years or so and met at college) and his friend JD...

Not that I mind, really. Kevin's work-friends have showed themselves to be the pinacle of reliabilty on several occasions. (Note: that was sarcasm, for the undercaffienated)

And JD is pretty cool, even if I do feel about 500 years old whenever he starts using current slang that makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. And he's got a really cool character concept, even if it did involve my bending rules all over the place. Hey, I'm much happier with concept then mechanics anyway. (This is no longer the '90's. Style is not content.)

So, I've been writing up this newsfeed for the game - current events in Seattle and what's hot in music and sports and stuff. (JD reads the paper yesterday, then we start the game. About halfway in, he comments ironically "Look, there's all this brutal injustice going on in the city, and what are we doing? Fixing the Megacorp SNAFU?" Kevin, "Yeah, well, the corps are paying us... dead poor people don't have any nuyen.")

JD wants me to put it online somewhere, complete with flash components and stuff, like a real newsfeed. Thanks, no, I haven't got the time to do the projects I'm supposed to be doing (like writing a novel) or the ones I want to be doing (like ripping all my cds so I can put them in storage and still have all my music at my fingertips - can you say 220gigs of harddrive space? I knew you could!) much less putting together a gaming role-playing site. And I'm almost positive my various friends who know stuff about computers would probably flay me alive if I wanted them to help me set up flash stuff.

But I'm having a lot of fun writing it... maybe I'll put it on line in good old-fasioned html... which I can mostly fake writing...

Karma-earning line from last night: Shadow, "I have some chummers who know some people who might know some people who know some dreck. I'll get back to you."
