Threads: New Orleans site
Aug 18th
Gordon asked me to repost the NOLA site for Threads, which I hadn’t done since I figured he had the info he needed and it was technically out of date as of Season 2 Game 1. So I stuck it back up, and it is MOSTLY working.
The site is at nola.savagexmedia.com
I also decided that since they have gone far enough off the track, there is no real harm in posting the NOLA Season 2 Plot Document. (.pdf) This might be an interesting read, if you have any interest in the NOLA Thread.
I think I have all of the Game 5 notes around here as well, I may post the stuff that I wrote for posterity.
After Idly mentioning it
Jul 24th
I seem to have a few people interested in a tabletop campaign. If that is you contact me through the various channels. If that’s not you but are interested, contact me through the various channels. If that’s not you and you aren’t interested, don’t bother.
If you are and you have LJ let me know your handle and I’ll add you to the filter. (or if you are just nosy.)
Mucking about in the Book of the Law (Ch2)
Jul 21st
Behold! the rituals of the old time are black. Let the evil ones be cast away; let the good ones be purged by the prophet! Then shall this Knowledge go aright.
(Create new rituals! Invoke often!)
I am the flame that burns in every heart of man, and in the core of every star. I am Life, and the giver of Life, yet therefore is the knowledge of me the knowledge of death.
(Death is but a shadow upon the face of a Star, beyond is That which remains!)
I am the Magician and the Exorcist. I am the axle of the wheel, and the cube in the circle. “Come unto me” is a foolish word: for it is I that go.
(Onward in Silence and Mystery! To the halls of Khabs!)
Who worshipped Heru-pa-kraath have worshipped me; ill, for I am the worshipper.
(Every man and woman is a Star!)
Remember all ye that existence is pure joy; that all the sorrows are but as shadows; they pass & are done; but there is that which remains.
(so mote it be!)
One minor Mission complete
Jul 20th
Build-out was canceled today so I got to put together my work table and rearrange my work area.
I have to say the Ikea build your own table concept is awesome. This means no more working on a camp table cocooned into the corner…
It is my sincere hope that this makes it easier to do the drawings for classes. (or faster anyway)
If you are not at the Island but want to eat tasty food and have fun…

This is a much shorter drive! We even have Mysteries and did I mention Food?
Here are some of the things around the picnic site to do:
Avalon-Glen Artney-Orange Grove – This area offers hiking, picnicking, mountain biking, canoeing, bicycling, tubing, rental pavilions, fishing, equestrian trails, ball fields and playgrounds. The Orange Grove Scenic Area has a two mile drive along the Patapsco to the Swinging Bridge. A fish passage has been installed at Bloedes Dam. This area is known for several historical sites – the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the Thomas Viaduct, remains of the Orange Grove Mill, Avalon Iron and Nail Works and Bloedes Dam. The Avalon Visitor Center houses exhibits detailing 300 years of Patapsco history.
Don’t know how to get there?

I blame Cory Doctorow
Jun 24th
Been listening to the audiobook of “Little Brother” by Doctorow. Decided to start making a few changes in what I am doing with some of the info out there.
I am using Enigmail for Thunderbird, and would be happy to post a tutorial for future reference. You can still send me cleartext email, but important things or personal details should go through this method.
I am also interested in setting up a “web of trust” where we actually have verified keys from our trusted ones.
Everything has to start somewhere, Lets try this: (this will be replicated on it’s own page.)
