Granted! It hits the ceiling instead.

I wish my boss would spontaneously combust. At home, away from me.

Granted... but the ensuing fire burns down the whole area, including your place of work and you are now unemployed.

I wish that I could have a vacation and not have to come back to work with a billion things changing when I return to work.

I got a hold of a ton of a certain poker chip game's chips that I use... one color for starting AD, another color for the GC's AD and another different color for AD handed out in game. When they use the gained AD I have them place it front of them so I can keep track for XP purposes.

I do like the system that you made for your game, Psion... it works quite well for home games, and I may have to try it.

Which I find hilarious, as all three of my regular distributors have it in stock.  I know I have an order closing Wednesday afternoon, so if want to give me a shot, order it before noon EST Wednesday and I should be able to ship it out Thursday.

Three... I may be ordering some stuff from you VERY soon

I have someone who ordered from Amazon and just got an e-mail saying that Pocket Edition may not be available until July 15th now. They were hoping that they would get it before Origins.

I need to get a copy of Pocket Edition myself as well as find a dead tree version of World On Fire.

I was wondering if there is going to be any Spycraft events going on at the Origins Game Fair this year... would love to play some Spycraft while I am there, plus I have some people coming into the con who I am getting into Spycraft and would love to have a game there. Hope to hear some news soon.

Anyone know of any good, reliable online sources to order it? I know someone who would like to get a copy, but doesn't have a FLGS near them.

I've only seen the movie twice myself, once back in High School (for Computer Club, you see), and once a couple weeks back. It was on the more recent viewing that the Cosmo > Sparks connection came to mind. It's a great movie. It's almost a perfect example of a low-combat Spycraft freelance campaign. It's got a diverse team, and more importantly Robert Redford. What more could you want?

Oh, and James Earl Jones saying "We're the American Government, we don't do that sort of thing." to Whistler's request for World Peace.

That was Sidney Poitier who said that, not James Earl Jones IIRC... it's been a while since I saw that movie.

Issue 13 and the pending issue 14 of City of Heroes.  Yay. 

This.

Here's a somewhat tricky one:

Tommy: We got about five minutes and change.
Hawk: 5:32. Swinging on a star.
Tommy: You know, they invented something when you were in. It's called a watch.

Would it show how much of a Hudson Hawk geek I was if I said that I have an MP3 of Willis and Aiello singing "Swinging On A Star" from the movie floating around on my hard drive? I've always wanted to make a Hudson Hawk homage Intruder character who times his or her intrusions by the length of a song just to see who got the reference

This is a really noob question, but can you have multiple copies of the same agent in play at the same time?
(i know you can have 3 copies of each card in a deck)
(gameplay wise i think you can, but thematically i thought it was weird, having like 3 mr syndes working for you at the same time)

Also, are there any rough guidelines what is a good ratio of agents/gear/action cards in a deck?

To answer your first question, yes you can have up to three of any non-unique Agent card in play. Also, the Shadow Patriots Agent Lt. Folley was ruled to be considered Unique.

As to ratios, it's dependant on Faction and theme of the deck... Nine Tigers would be gear heavy to arm their warriors to the teeth, while a Franchise deck might be Action heavy to represent their wicked bag of tricks. It's all dependant on what you are going for with the deck.

There was a general ratio of 20 Agents, 20 Actions and 10 Gear floating around but was only used as a template and tweaked heavily to fit faction and style of play.

Hope this helps.

Exactly. Also, I'd like to give a huge consumer thank you to Crafty for the one time update to the 2.0 pdf, that will be coming down soon after the release of the 2nd printing hardcover. I really appreciate it.

Same here... thanks a lot

A few months back, Pat and crew allowed me to play the Shadowforce Archer Audio Serial on a theme show I did for an internet radio station that many people missed.

I decided to replay the Audio Serial on my streamhold today starting a little after 6PM Eastern/3 PM Pacific / 11PM GMT with only one small musical break between Parts 2 and 3.

"I'm so fantastical, I even have my own toll-free number: 1-800-PERFECT"

It's one of those movies that even though you know it's not the greatest piece of cinema in the world, you can find something that you enjoy in it. Plus Robert Englund was great in that movie (with what he had to work with).

For those who missed it the first time around...

On Monday, August 27, 2007 shortly after 6PM Eastern / 3PM Pacific, I will be replaying all 4 parts of the Shadowforce Archer Audio Serial back to back with a short musical break between Parts 2 and 3
