JIM NEVER POSTS

... a short, relatively non-substantive bit of gaming geekery that probably has a target audience of two, if I'm lucky.

I want to write up a Spirit of the Century hack based on Richard K. Morgan's Takeshi Kovacs novels, call it "Spirit of Altered Carbon" or something, in which you spend Fate Point Refresh to buy the sleeve you're in, and spend more or less of it depending on how much modification the sleeve's packing. From the books, it seems like most of what defines a character in SotC terms -- skills, aspects, even stunts -- are things that follow a personality from sleeve to sleeve, but in addition to that core each sleeve would come with its own package of stunts and/or aspects that would cost a certain amount of Refresh to possess.

And that's what I'm thinking about right now instead of doing homework.

brawdymchwil and I have begun The Nikola Tesla / Lemmy Kilmister Memorial-Honorary Science Rock-Off. And we need suggestions of songs to set against each other to determine which is, in fact, the hardest-rocking.

Details here.

By way of the esteemed judd_sonofbert:

This is an UPSTATE NEW YORK QUERY:

Anyone going to be traveling to or from Syracuse sometime on Friday, April 6, around 9:30 PM? I got a friend of a friend who's gonna need a ride back from that city then, and could use a hand. Lemme know in comments or email.

Thanks!
