#6311 Newt-names, got a book to review, grapermelon yuck
Another Crazy-busy day and night… I guess it promotes solid sleep though. I wonder if it will continue to be this busy throughout the winter holidays?
Taking a page from sweetalyssm‘s journal, pet names for the kitty –
- Newton
- Noodle
- Nudist
- Nudie Bar
- Newton J Fuzzbutton
- Newtie-bear
- Orange Boy
- Fuzz-Face
- Stripey Boy
- Son
- Furburger
- Fluffy Monkey
- Turd Fergerson (if he makes a stinky poop)
- Pooper McDumpsalot – see above
Many more.. those are just off the top of my head. He seems to know I’m talking to or about him. 🙂
I’m going to have to get on the stick, and place my Amazon orders soon, if I want them to get to the destinations by Christmas. I’m fortunate that I can get a good amount of my shopping done without leaving the house… a pity that Danny doesn’t have a wish list, but I usually buy him local events rather than ranged gifts.
Gold Rush Games sent me a pre-release version of The Dragon’s Gate: San Angelo’s Chinatown sourcebook, on the condition that I review it (and mention that it is in fact a pre-release version, that I don’t distribute the file anywhere else.. standard legalisms.) More about San Angelo is at sacoh.com. It’s 128 pages, so it’ll take a day to digest, and another two to sniff out the pros and cons, I think.
Speaking of which, I picked up the pdf of Darwin’s World 2.0 for d20, and it looks like a lot of fun. (and it’s far better edited, readable and generally of use than the current Gamma World sounds) I wonder what a post-apocalyptic Chinatown would have as a blend of the two? I think the classic mix of Golden age or an old west game would be a lot more suitable.
Wrigley’s “Grapermelon” gum sounds nasty…and 7-11 supposedly has a slurpee of the same flavor. “Limafootstankbeans” seems as palatable.
Hmm… where is that Egyptian Special Dec 7? The closest thing I can find is Nubia: The Forgotten Kingdom (Which looks cool, but is on Wednesday, the 10th.) I imagine I can wait, but don’t want to miss if there’s something else nifty coming up too.
