strange_aeonsThere was another blackout around the same time last night as the night before, so while I'd written another three hundred words or so and seemed to be on the same 'twelve hundred words in two and a half hours' roll I'd been on earlier — and that is superhuman — I only hit 1534 words yesterday. That's still damn respectable. Another 840 today, rounding out November with 6116 words.
After I posted yesterday I got to thinking about Northstar, a fairly obscure mutant who is or possibly was gay. I vaguely remembered something about him dying of AIDS and went looking for more information; I found this, which made me laugh until I couldn't see.
While I'm linking to things, The Book of Erotic Fantasy has come to my attention again. From the looks of it, this is the d20 supplement for people who liked the idea of FATAL,¹ but thought its open racism used up space in the PDF that could have been better devoted to prurience. Portions of it are all right — Vershnat, gnomish attitudes toward sex — but the world does not need the Appearance stat, the very phrase 'Perform (sexual techniques)', alignment attitudes towards sex or, dear god, that appalling game fiction.
I've gotten this link on at least three vectors now, so it's clearly already made the rounds, but it seems thematically appropriate to post it here — the Roman d20. This has set my financial feasibility plan back several weeks.
In other news, I'm watching a documentary about martial arts that's okay until it starts talking about katanas. Kids, it is not 'the greatest sword ever made'. It is not 'the most dangerous and elegant weapon ever created'. And just shut up, Tom Cruise. It's a sword. Swords are tools for reducing people to smaller, more manageable pieces. Much like wrenches, many swords are fairly specialized, and the katana is one of these. It's a light cutting weapon — very effective against people in no or light armor, but against a guy in full plate, someone with a katana is screwed.
And it's not nearly as attractive as the dao, dammit.
