I've heard the component quality is excellent.

This is true, but, in my mind, this will forever be the game that taught me that my housemate can't explain game rules for shit and always leaves something out that becomes important later on and totally screws up your game. I don't think he does it on purpose, but it's so frustrating when you get halfway through and realize you've done something really stupid. I now ask him "What important thing have you left out?" before we start anything new.

fly-by-night construction companies

Hey.

All 14 of them were well-documented entities, with strong marketing and acquisition capabilities.

Is that the one where one guy gets fed to the crocodiles?

yup.

Just got the final pdf for the adventure for the Serenity RPG I did. I was able to include in the Special Thanks on the credit page of Serenity Adventures a thanks to the "Buffistas of Buffista.org"

Not sure when the hardcopies will hit the stores, but when they do, feel free to take a look...

Like, "Oh, and at the end, one guy gets fed to the crocodiles" ?

This is actually why we have a "let's just play it through once" rule. The first game doesn't count, unless there's only one player new to the game, and then all the other players have to help the n00b.

So I assume you guys have all seen McCain's blog bagging on D&D players, and the subsequent apology?

Well you know all those whippersnappers using that new geeky Internet thing are just a bunch of D&D playing geeks living in basements.

I disbelieve the apology was real. Unlike the initial swipe by Goldfarb, I have yet to see a link to the apology on an official McCain blog page, so I don't believe Goldfarb actually issued it. I don't believe Goldfarb would actually know what the six basic attributes are, or have a sens of humor that functions like that. I think some other blogger with real knowledge of D&D and funny made up the apology and attributed it to Goldfarb, and now it's getting passed around the blogosphere.

Also, I made my will save.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I can find the McCain comment all over the internet but I haven't been able to find the apology. Real or not, if it's funny may I please have a link?

I can't c&p the link from my iPhone, but if nobody beats me to it, I'll link it when I get to a real computer, laga.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I think here's a version of it:
