Well I haven't been back to Sheff since I graduated but I could always do with a reason. Tim tells me he's going to be there in a couple of weeks though. PM?

Is this better than Descent: Underground (2014)? Because that was also by the makers of Descent, and that was one of the games that poisoned Kickstarter for me.

I hear they use some software from Germany called SAP to run their centrally planned economy. Must stand for Sozialistische Arbeiter-Programm.

Was just reading about the hidden 'good' endings in Konami games cartridges from the 1980s on MSX, which were only unlocked by having specific other games in the machine's 2nd cartridge slot at the same time!

Hi! I'm continually surprised how many educated Gen Xers don't know how to organise their own digital documents, photos, bookmarks, passwords or share them in a useful way with eg their family, too. It's all just a Mess, which they search every time.

Props for including Greyhawk, the OG setting! I'm sure the Directing Oligarchy is desperate to ensure that preserved lich organ exports are not interrupted!

I'm missing the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, and the Forgotten Realms. What is #36?

I think the Year of the Semantic Desktop is stuck in a queue behind the Year of the Linux Desktop.

Not to mention Ihr Streiks. (Sorry, I don't know you at all but I can't pass by an opportunity for good Anglo-German pun)

Hope any injuries and damage are minor and fleeting, and you got their number.

The surface wrecks' escape pods with no way to retrieve them all, call in a rescue, or do anything else to assist, were horrifying in a casually callous way.
