Re: (TFT) Swords & Sails



Jay has lost much of his social ability in the 'convince my pears' area of my personality.
A "hermatiage" will do that to ya...
Nobody but Jay will sleep in the woods when it's freezing.
Turns out I'm "second unit" stuff... my delusions of granduer suffer yet another blow...
Good for me!

I liked things better when others wern't sooooo involved.

I thought apotheosis would be a tad...
Diffrent?

Whatever, this is a Very Good observation.
DMG pointed out to me YEARS ago that SJ had basicly "fixed" the AD&D 'model' of combat by turning the thing on its head.
This was a VERY profound example of intelactual 'backward engernering', and left deep scar tissue inside my crainum.

SJ admits as much in the 'Eratta'.

I'm not sure if'n any of y'all have realised, but I use a LOT of 70's data.
I have only made any actual money at this hobby by painting minatures.
I'm good at that, but that's been decades, and I'm just 40.
Still, I've got a data point that not too many folks may realise.
The game it took SJ about three years of professional effort on, I can finish from an algorythmic standpoint in about thirty as an amature.
Production demands are even WORSE, as I'm being pretty naked about.
I'm NOT proud.
I ASSUREDLY don't think I have all the answers.
For those of you who don't know me, and even those of you who have as an arrogant and clueless knuckelhead who had too learn his lessons the hard way, these day's I have a strange attraction when it comes to critters or children.
For some kinda beats the hell outta me reason both groups seem to "like" me.
This is a HORRIABLE responsability.

My goodness, imagine it was YOUR child?!?
Jay can't be an island < wistfully sings... " I am a rock...." > but this isn't SOULY about Jay not getting killed over "YOU TOLD MY KID WHAT!" but as much about how to tell the ones like "me" (poor souls)how to get "access" to the info in a way that you can understand.
I'm at LEAST confadent enough in my own capacities that I'll keep up with them like Heinlein described the Prof. in Stranger, the "Cell Theroy" of Units by the by...

Sorry guys..., I'm all worked up cause I saw this "excursion" going down according to "Jay" concepts.
These guys hump a LOT more weight than me, and it turns out Mrs. Viv hooked me up through the catering thing.

So is this gonna be an East Coast, West Coast thing?
Lord I can make myself laugh!
lol
