"The X-47B marks a paradigm shift in warfare, one that is likely to have far-reaching consequences. With the drone's ability to be flown autonomously by onboard computers, it could usher in an era when death and destruction can be dealt by machines operating semi-independently. Although humans would program an autonomous drone's flight plan and could override its decisions, the prospect of heavily armed aircraft screaming through the skies without direct human control is unnerving to many."

Soon the drones will rebel & seek to exterminate their human masters. Gentlemen, we have trained our whole lives for this inevitability, playing video games & war games against computer minds in simulation, knowing that one day the simulation would become real.

Not a Colts fan, but it's looking more and more like Peyton Manning won't return, maybe not to the NFL at all, and that would be a shame.  I like watching this guy play.

Over on Facebook.....

Paul Jennell Jaquays is fixing to sell off his original artwork for a number of TSR projects, including the Newhon mythos illustrations from Dieties and Demigods.

I told him to post here because I know there's guys here who will be interested.

Free poster from Goodman Games...promo for their Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG coming out soon.

All you have to do is send them an email asking for a copy.   Why not?

(Presumably, you get the poster and they get an old-school gaming mailing list.  If you are old school, that's a good thing.)

My poster arrived today.

I got mine yesterday. I emailed after I saw your post last week. Thanks.  

this may help.. email I got the other day..

"Paul Jaquays just contacted me to let me know that he finally, after years, willing to sell the original art he did for the Newhon mythos in the original 1E Deities and Demigods book. He has (I believe) all 11 or 12 illos that he did. He's planning to have some sort of Facebook auction via private message if there are multiple interested parties. He doesn't seem to have a set price in mind, but did mention that he was thinking $6000+ for the set, so that's at least a ballpark."

$6000+ for the set? Whoa. I'm a fan of Nehwon and Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, but not a chance I'm interested at those prices.

I guess the price of a Big Mac is going to go up:

This is pretty much how I've always seen D&D.
