ultranos: kino standing, staring ahead (need caffeine; this is unacceptable)

  • One of the hardest things about writing this rulebook is not actually having to crunch numbers and figure out stats for pretty much everything. In the 5 years since I first started playing the d20 system, I've gotten a lot better at seeing what things work and what don't. No, the thing that's really hard is trying to make everything that happened in SGA (and SG-1) at least plausible in the d20 system. (Okay, a lot of it requires an unholy number of critical successes, but we are just going to bloody handwave that.) This means determining internally consistent rules for how weapons, ships, random computer tech, Wraith weirdshit, Ancient weirdshit, etc all work.

    Yes. I am trying to hammer in consistency into the 'gateverse.

    May god have mercy on my soul.

  • I found myself on Friday trying to teach myself CSS. I learned how to do HTML 10 years ago, so I guess I figured I might as well try to join the 21st century in terms of web design. Verdict: it's cute, and it's a nice way to cut down on all the bloody FONT tags, and I suppose it can save time. On the other hand, I am incredibly minimalist in my views on web design. So.

  • MetaFilter had an interesting link the other day: Pilot School. It's the drafts of the premiere episodes for a bunch of different series, such as Farscape, The West Wing, Firefly, Star Trek: TNG, and the Battlestar Galatica miniseries. Since these are the drafts of the pilots, you can see where the differences are between them and what actually aired.
