GURPS Firefly: Episode 2-3

Whoops! Looks like I missed a posting. What can I say... it's been busy around here lately.

In Episode 2, the group made their way out to the comet where the loot was stashed. There was a little trouble along the way with the sensors, which wasn't noticed until they reached the comet.

Unfortunately, he couldn't quite remember the numbers needed to send the correct signal.

This is a book self published via Amazon written by a friend of Adviga. She was nice enough to give me one of the two copies she had, and I read it yesterday.

Making Friends

So, time for an EVE Online update. I promise that this one will be shorter.

Before I get into what I've been up to, I thought I'd mention something in case I inspire anyone to try the game. First of all, they have both a Windows client and a Mac client (system requirements). Secondly, if you want to try it out, let me know. I can give you a 3 week free trial. It's better for you because you get an extra week over the normal trial, and better for me because if you end up buying the game, I get a free month added to my account!
