Under the Green Moon at Pacificon: Box of Dreams, Box of Nightmares

Congratulate me- I am on the schedule to run a game using the Under the Green Moon setting at Pacificon.

The game will be in the Sunday 11:30 slot, one I picked so that I'll have time to attend the evening LARPS I'm interested in.  It's listed as running 7 hours, but I doubt it will go that long.  Here is the proposal:

PR-400  Under the Green Moon: Box of Dreams, Box of Nightmares

by Eric Tolle, True20- minor variations, 7 hrs, 6 players, Game, Some gaming, Character and/or Armies Supplied

Under the Green Moon is a sword and sorcery setting set 30,000 years in Earth’s future. Over the eons, multiple waves of civilization have risen and vanished; leaving behind only ruins, and new breeds of humanity. Now, new empires are beginning their rise, and looking for any advantage over their rivals. In the independent enclave of Canyon Dust, an artifact of incalculable value has been found; a working Miracle Box from the ancient Great Builders. As multiple empires send agents to claim the Box and its unknown power for their own, tensions rise and old wrongs are brought to the fore. Will the Box be the spark that ignites a war? Or will it be the genesis of something even more horrific?

And that's it.  Hope to see people I know there!

Well, crap. Laptop dead.

Gah.  Trival annoyance time again.

Tonight instead of booting up, I got an "Unmountable Boot Error" on my laptop.  Fortunately, it's an easy problem to fix: just put the Windows installation disk in the disk drive, and hit R at the welcome screen.

Unfortunately, this is the laptop whose disk drive went on the fritz, and the new drive turned out to be incompatible.

Fortunately I have Sandy's computer to work on, so I can send resumes and stuff out, and I have copies of my resume on gmail.

Unfortunately, I can't get my other stuff off the laptop.

I'm honestly not sure that this computer is worth the $40.00 - $60.00 that a refurbished drive (of uncertain compatibility) would cost.

*sigh* and so it goes.

See? Machine problems ARE trivial!

After making my last post, I heard Sandy in the living room saying "Are you going to do a somersault?  Somersault?"

And as soon as I come into the living room, there Dorthy was lying in the middle of the living room floor, and when she saw me: SOMERSAULT!

This is her only and best trick, and the reason Sandy claims we haven't put her on the porch for the coyotes (ninja coyotes, that can climb walls).  Pee on our stuff?  Scratch everything in sight?  She does somersaults!

And she did it just for me.

Now that is love.
