Willis Corto's Journal: Hi, I'm back again.

Well, here I sit, composing my third real, live Journal Entry.

      You can thank EBK for the fact I'm writing this. He was trying to post a JE and asked me where to find the post, submit, something button. So I came here and went hunting for it since I haven't posted a JE in quite a while.

      So, here's what's up with me these days in no particular order.

      I had my first AppleCare use. The screen on my iBook went on the fritz, so I took it into the way cool Apple Store at Mayfair and got it fixed. At no cost, love that one year purchase warranty. (There was another guy there who also got his iBook there in Febuary, so if you got an iBook in Feb, watch your screen.)

      I was building a super powered federal agent simulation RPG for about 10 years now, called for lack of a better term the SLED Game Environment (tm). It was used with Villians and Vigilantes, Living Legends and Steve Jackson Games Generic Universal Role Playing System (GURPS). GURPS has been the standard for the last five or so years.

      While this is all well and good for UberGeeks such as myself, it has shall we say "playability flaws" as far as the standard RPGer is concerned. Might have something do with the fact that I spent 20 years on research. This means that the standard super hero bullshit don't work. There are rules, regs, consequenses and the lack of ultratech kinda makes keeping teleporters and other powereds in jail damned near impossible. (If this kinda thing interests you check out the site: http://www.geocities.com/ionicproductionsus )
(I don't know the tags for putting in a URL, sorry.)

      So, I decided to put together the oh, I wish it were so damned prophetic, but much more playable, cyberpunk version of the SLED Game Environment (tm), SuperPunk.

      So, me and a couple a friends are building a system and I'm putting together the background, art and this and that. This is why I haven't posted in some time. Sorry.

      Anyway, it's raining hard here, so I'm get off line. Got to get back to work and play.

    Laterness,
    Craig.
