I was finishing grad school. This was back in the day when word processors were just becoming common. My last and biggest task was to finish my thesis, get it typed, and then accepted by our library. The specifications on the thesis were overwhelming - must be done on a certain type of...

I am deaf in one ear. I have trouble hearing in certain situations, and sometimes it takes me a few seconds to process what I hear. Many people who know me don't realize this, because I otherwise appear normal. One time I was getting off an airplane. It was a smaller plane, and as we were...

Hey - That's my line! :)

When I was (much) younger, we used to play a lot of backgammon. We used cups for the dice, and game play was often done while drinking adult beverages. Every now and then, someone would drop their dice in their drink, or roll their drink instead of the dice. The odds of that happening...

When I first started playing, I bought copies of SK1 for two friends that were sort of interested in the game. They got hooked. As they say - the first hit is free.

Here is my counter clipping setup.

Ah, got it - thanks.

I'm the one that organizes the Conscripts game days. Our schedule got a little irregular over the holidays. My plan is to have the first meeting in February start at 10am, assuming I can find a library room.

How would replacement pages for the pocket rulebook work? When changes are made in one place, it can change the formatting on subsequent pages. I noticed this last week when my opponent and I looked up a rule. I said "look at the last line on page xyz." He couldn't find it, because in his...

I'm getting ready to play this scenario, which uses maps 14 and 17. Map 14 has a runway, and by SSR1 is "treated as an unpaved road." SSR2 also instructs us to, prior to setup, make a random dr to determine if an aircraft wreck exists for "each open ground hex which is adjacent to a runway hex...
