Hi Guys,

Back to work tomorrow (Monday, 27 March 2005) and it's already raining and dreary! :(

I miss the kids so it should be good though. The principal spoke to me the Friday before last to let me know things weren't personal and she wanted to recognize that I did the job I'd come to do. She told me that she thinks I'm more of the "professorial" sort and less of the elementary teacher sort. I just kistened and left when she was done. She also told me that she wanted to write me a letter of recommendation and told her "Sure, why not."

I got a lot done this past week, getting the Tyranid playtest up and running and through six list updates ending up with a very good playtest list that I'm very happy to have written. It will probably be at least a week or two before I get v5.35 up so that we have lots of time to try out v5.30.

I've got some ideas already written for v5.35 including giving the Harridan and Vituperator flyers Bio-cannons...

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Ho hum...  :angry:

Just M(NS)HO but judging from what I've "seen" I'd say you fit in just about anywhere where teaching is involved.

Not that my opinion has any weight anywhere... :blues:

Hi Guys,

The last few days have been relatively quiet. I went to a boring staff meeting yesterday that was a complete drag.

Tuesday's Hobby Monkey game was too hard far me to make (too much stuff to take care of at home) so I didn't go.

Chern has tonight off so I hope we can meet up.

The Nid v5.35 playtest list is shaping up and I hope to release it some time near the end of next week or so if not sooner.  

I've been reading a Traveller novel called "To Dream of Chaos" by Paul Brunette and enjoying it very much. The Traveller universe is a very good one and really lends itself to a good story.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Hi Maksim,

I did not know you knew of Traveller!

Traveller is what got me into gaming years ago and is the focus of our new gaming group.

Do you play the role-playing game (and which version if you do)?

I have alot of reference material for Traveller, in fact, I own more Traveller materials than I ever had of miniatures.

Best regards,
Dalton.

Hi Dalton,

Dalton: I did not know you knew of Traveller!


Sure, I've been a fan since the game came out. I have all of the original books... somewhere!

Dalton: Traveller is what got me into gaming years ago and is the focus of our new gaming group.


My San Jose group is a Traveller focussed group. They (me included) love that game! We've played all the various Traveller games including Striker and Striker II as well as many of the board games. We correspond with the guy designing Striker III as well.

Here's the link to our site:

http://www.3rd-imperium.com/Tactics-0/

You'll see my name in a lot of the games!

Dalton: Do you play the role-playing game (and which version if you do)?

I prefer the original but "The New Era" is good as well.

I should probably also add that I really like "Traveller 2300" although that game isn't really a "Traveller" game. I think of "Traveller 2300 AD" (Should be CE) as a sort of prequel to the regular (original) "Traveller" and "Traveller: The New Era" universes.

Dalton: I have alot of reference material for Traveller, in fact, I own more Traveller materials than I ever had of miniatures.

I have a lot of sci-fi minis, but since I am a 6mm sci-fi gamer, not too much of my stuff was actually designed for Traveller.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Hi Guys,

I discovered something interesting a bit ago. The Mechwarrior collectible pieces scale perfectly with the AMT/ERTL Battle of Hoth figures I've been assembling.

I finished the Traveller novel and am moving onto a nonfiction historical  novel by Tony Williamson called "Counterstrike Entebbe" about the Entebbe hostage rescue in the 1970s.

I also have good news from Diana. She passed her PhD boards so she is a PhD candidate now instead of a PhD student. :)

Shabbat Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Hi Guys,

I hope that you are all having a great weekend! :)

I'm taking Diana out for Thai food to celebrate her passing the PhD boards. :;):

I did some housekeeping, laundry, vacuuming and model organizing earlier. :L

Shabbat Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Hi Guys,

Back to the grindstone today! :(

I took Diana out to Target (A department store) yesterday and bought to cheap Star Wars Episode III books with great photos of the new starfighters. I'm pretty enthused about getting my Battle of Hoth game set up and going. I did some prep work on the models as well as some of my E-A Nid pieces.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

P.S.
Thanks for the well-wishing, VanVlak! :)

Hi Guys,

Speaking of new things, I decided to treat myself to the new GURPS Traveller book:

GURPs Star Merc!

Sadly, I haven't been able to find my old stash of original Traveller books (I think they are buried in my folk's attic... and have been since I was last in the service!) and I glanced through the book and it has the TL system with military norms for everything! I was impressed with the production value of it and $20.00 USD is a good price for it IMHO.

Here's the rest of the GURPS Traveller line:

The Entire GURPs Traveller Line

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
