Yesterday's XKCD was very appropriate for this thread.

We really want to use the customizing features to use it on a Serenity campaign that Joe was running before he moved away from Los Angeles. I'd also like to see a game of Shadowrun get going.

Yeah, I've got ideas for both the next "season" of Firefly: Valley Girl and Shadowrun.

Though I should probably pick up a couple of the new Shadowrun source books. Like, you know...magic or something.

eta: I would also not mind PLAYING Shadowrun, rather than GMing. I miss PLAYING.

That was the best! It took me a paragraph to figure out what the heck he was talking about. I was about to google the name, and then the "idiot-slap" hit me in the back of the head.

Most post in my LJ for non-b.org friends.

Just played Mario Kart online with NoiseDesign and dcp. It was fun.
