The Schismatic Papacy at Avignon sat like a Mandelbrot swirl of fractal suspicion and intrigue. As you stare into the complexities of the situation, you see recurring patterns spiralling into infinity. Yeah, admittedly I might be looking for it, but I’m sure it was in there somewhere to begin with.… Continue reading Medieval Mandelbrot PARANOIA
I managed to completely miss the GM Day offers over at RPGNow/DriveThruRPG. I think it might have been for the best, because I almost definitely have stuff downloaded from there a while back unread (but not unwanted). However, I’m happy to say, for PARANOIA fans, that the whole range (almost… Continue reading Discount Bonus Fun Joy
Yesterday, while in Nottingham, I visited the Nottingham Contemporary gallery to view the current ‘Star City‘ exhibition that celebrates ‘The Future Under Communism’. Good it was, too. And free. Running until 18 April 2010, the galleries features the work of artists from the former Eastern Bloc. The installations range from… Continue reading Let’s Be Deserving Sputniks
The mail-tube went ping! and he opened his eyes, swearing. For a moment he was tempted to let the pneumo-roll lie where it fell, but habit was too strong. He grumbled his way over to the basket and took it out. The stamp across it jerked his mind to wakefulness.… Continue reading A matr uv urjensE
Keen to exploit any situation, Nigerian scamsters (or their ilk) may have overestimated their chances against the PARANOIA Yahoo! Group with this transparent, and misguided, attempt: Hello, How are you doing ? I’m sorry I did not inform you about my trip to London, England for a program. I arrived… Continue reading Loan Me This Money
I’m on holiday at the moment and intended to use some of the time to get writing done. Out on the picturesque coast of Anglesey, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to finally finish writing my 14th century Avignon-based PARANOIA mini-supplement. Alas, fickle fate has interceded. I have teenage sons… Continue reading Mission Report: Epic Fail
I’m reasonably sure that I have posted something on this before – but, anyway, the US military are looking for a non-lethal weapon that inflict pain rather than permanent injury. Having already got themselves a crowd suppression turret-mounted weapon that fires microwave energy at a crowd – and disperses through… Continue reading Hot Potato
I’m currently addicted to Twitter. I wonder whether Troubleshooters might fall foul of similar information overload through their personal communication device of choice? We have myriad routes of communication with people both close, near and, well, frankly strangers. Would a Troubleshooter have a stream of messages to contend with from… Continue reading Mobile Messaging
I’m not one to line anyone else’s pockets if possible, but why would you turn down a spanky copy of The Underplex for as little as £3. Cheap, entertaining – and suspiciously located in Swindon. Perhaps Mongoose had a car boot sale?
Omega Complex has survived the move from one hosting solution to another… Blessed relief that it turned out to be relatively easy. I reckon I’m saving the really difficult migration work for when I’m in a really good mood… And, for the time being, www.traitorrecycling.com is pointing at this time.… Continue reading Upgrade Successful
