4e as in GURPS 4th edition?

any links to examples of this particular genre?

There's also the collected artwork of Masamune Shirow (Intron Depot for one, and the Ghost In The Shell/Human Error Processor and other manga) for the futuristic cybernetically enhanced babes. Also check out the work of Range Murata. The Koreans are starting to make a lot of inroads into the manga/m...

[quote="mongo"]I have had no response to my last posting, the one that I thought would answer Digital Boy's question. Is he still out there? :confused: I'm just trying to classify my level of rejection. Was it something I said, how I said it, or do people in San Diego routinely feign interest, and ...

I'm reading Steve Jackson's game page about Banestorm. What kind of character classes/skillsets/tech levels do you allow? Banestorm seems to mix the traditional elves/dwarves/magic with the element of the Banestorm bringing in offworlders from different types of worlds. Sounds pretty neat, but I'd l...

Yaaaaaay! And the collective IQ of the human race ticks a bit to the right of the bell curve.

ah, sorry. I was groggy at the time... past few days I have to fight to keep my eyes open in the afternoon. Right around 7 or so, I'm okay.

Digital_Boy

werd. though that means I have to stop off at the store and get some more, since I drank the last one last night. :O Winter, I'll ask around and see who's down for a b-day dinner Friday. I sense great nerdiness in the Force on that day, as I'm taking a LONG early lunch to catch the 11AM showing of I...

[quote="Neuro"]Yeah, we'll likely do another meet-up where it's a bbq or picnic or something, but not a gaming function.

Been a LONG ass time since I've posted here.

Sorry I missed the shindig. Hopefully there's another one before this time next year! :O

Already signed up! :D

Works for me, but I think Andy mentioned that Morgan had a play next week.

Digital_Boy

I may have to rethink my initial choice. Only 2 of the pix showed @ w0rk. The 2nd Yak looks good tho. But the street sam with the long rifles have potential.

Think a pack of Ral Partha corporate security would be worthwhile?

Digital_Boy

Yeah, Game Empire was my second stop after that, since I knew they'd be open. They had some Warhammer packs of ground troops that were close, but had some of the gas mask/face covering thing going on, and the packs were a bit over the top for a CP game. I've got Tuesday off, so I'll swing back by Do...

RGRAHRAHARAHRHAHRHARHAHRRHHARHARHAHR FUCKING DOORDICE!!!! Who the bloody hell closes at 5PM on a fucking Friday?!?!!??!!? I wasted a trip out to bumfucked La Mesa, getting turned around several times trying to follow MapQuest's directions, only to find that they had locked up half an hour before I g...

Digital_Boy

Do they have to be the 1" pewter minis? Or would something like the ones Steve has with the rotatable bases acceptable?

Digital_Boy

I was thinking something a bit more intrusive, ala standard procedure by police departments when they book a cybernetically enhanced person for whatever, which would be a more comprehensive scan than what would be possible via a standard direct neural internet connection. Not a complete download of ...

Digital_Boy

Given the ability to alter one's outward identity (fingerprints, retinal prints), and in extreme cases one's DNA profile, would the idea of the "ghostprint" be too farfetched, at least for those outfitted with neural interfaces? Kind of like taking a checksum of the brain, and storing for ...

Video quality is okay. It's VHS quality, a little grainy, but entirely watchable until a DVDR is out

And, of course, the larger the differential, the more pronounced the effect in day to day life.

Something like "Armitage" aka Col Corto from Neuromancer? Or his psychosis was more from the aftereffects of the war?

yep. I'm borrowing freely from VL, Burning Chrome, Neuromancer and Idoru... Didn't want to do a straight Turner clone, nor a Case or Molly Millions. All of Gibson's protagonists were street hustlers or criminals, and the corporate types always got portrayed as negatives. I figure the corporates can'...

Wakefulness came to Reiji on the last day of paradise like a slow, warm tide rolling in on a tropical beach, tickling his bare toes first with the warmth of the tropical sun, and the puff of the ocean breeze, tanged with salt, methodically inching it's way upwards, in no great hurry, until eventuall...

My half brain must be missing, because I can't remember the link off of onosendai.org

I do recall seeing that link with a pic of LA cops congregated near a skyscraper, but that's all I can remember

Other interesting tech questions:

State of the art for entertainment?

Realistic holography should be pretty common, since it won't be too terribly long before it's commercially viable in the here and now.

Simstims? Tally Isham, or whoever the flavor of the month is?

Cybernetics: Mechanical prosthetic limbs and organs are common, if expensive for the ones that effectively mimic the original (i.e. looks indistinguishable from a natural limb) down to affordable for those that have the basic shape, but are readily distinguishable as cybernetic prosthetics.

Lemme toss these ideas out: Firearms tech: Brass cartridge firearms are considered antiques or curios, rather like blackpowder is currently. Caseless powder burning firearms are the standard. Non explosive propellant based projectile weapons are the new hotness (man portable railguns, wire guns, fle...

The Diamond Age... That had the uprising in Hong Kong/mainland China, and the enclaves of the Neo Victorians, Confucians, etcetera? The engineer who made the nanotech book-computer that raised the little girl?

Pllus, with AirSoft, you could, conceivably, lay waste with one of these beauts:

I'm guessing the G is for gaming, so it's a gaming standard for rules and stats to ensure compatibility between game systems, like being able to run your GURPS character in D&D or C&S, etcetera?

I'll check Amazon then.

Digital_Boy

Crusing the swapmeet section, I see someone selling some D20 books. Is D20 the system that Wizards replaced the classic D&D system with, or ???

That said, would I be wiser to get the 3.0 editions used, or wait for the next release?

Finally... Figured out how to navigate this thing.

What's up for tonight (being Saturday 05/08/04)?
