No need to apologize for being sick. I guess you're just a reminder that the pandemic isn't fully over yet. Glad to hear you're feeling better. Hope you get well quickly, but the game will still be here however long it takes.

Feeling better thank you everyone.

Witamy spowrotem! Mam nadzieję, że wkrótce poczujesz się lepiej.

Welcome back!  Hope you feel better soon.

Did I pick up anything in my search for rings close to where we are?

So apparently it was my turn to get Covid, although a weaker strain. Culminated Monday night when I fell getting out of bed because I got dizzy and my legs were so weak they couldn't support me. After friends helped me get into a chair, called an ambulance to take me to the hospital for evaluation and testing. Everything else was clear but the test came back positive for Covid. Put some fluids in me, gave me a few prescriptions for me cough, and sent me home.

According to the doctor, I have it for a few days, so Monday was the worst of it. Getting better, but I still feel like crap and a bit unsteady on my feet.

At least this explains why I've been feeling so crappy for awhile now.

Oh dear. Every good wish for a speedy recovery.

I hope yo feel better very, very soon. My mum and her fiance are getting over it now. :(

Probably should apologize for not posting an update here, but brain's been too tired to even think of doing that.

Getting better. Just slow.

As you may have heard, Southwest Florida where I  live got clobbered by Hurricane Ian. Once again, we've lost power. With Irma, we lost it for 10 days. It could be longer this time as a couple of substations got trashed and there's almost a million people without power now across the six counties.

Currently using my friend's hot spot from his phone, but there's still the problem of charging up my computer and his cell phone.

So, not sure how much I'll be able to post before we get power back. No gas stations are operable because their pumps are electrical and they don't have power either. Most stores were closed today, but a few restaurants managed to open to feed the people that can't cook at home now.

Lots of trees down, and some damage to houses and yards. Six houses on our block lost their back porches. Our fence barely survived, but it's leaning because the ground got so soaked. Lost a few solar panels. But other than that, made it through without any damage to the house (except the back porch (the lanai) is 50% gone) and we're all intact--people, cats and dogs.

You’ve had a rough go of things lately. Here’s hoping it gets better for you!

Sounds dreadful, but good to hear that you and yours are OK. Hang tight, stay safe.

Yea! Power's back as of Friday afternoon. Internet came back late Friday night. We thought it'd take long because we're at the tail end of a line and the telephone pole and transformer at the other end of the block were both lying on the ground because the pole had snapped in half!

Spent yesterday cleaning up, picking up the pieces, putting things back in place, and making sure nothing got burnt out. We'd unplugged the TVs and shut off the AC at the circuit box, so we seem to be okay.

Our two house cats keep wanting to go out on the back porch like they used to, but it's half gone, so that's not going to be an option for awhile.

Anyway, expect to get caught up on my games today.

Welcome back.Picrurea flit past on the news, but you have to live it.

Somewhere along the way, someone had mentioned that there was a second Stargate RPG out there, so, while I get caught up, I thought I'd take a look. As it turns out, there are at least TWO games out there now.

The first that had been mentioned is done by Wyvern Games. It's basically the D&D 5e system. There are some tweaks that supposedly make it interesting, but nothing sounded all that exciting.

Then, apparently, there's a Modiphius version using their 2d20 system. I'm not a big fan of the Star Trek Adventures that uses the same system (as does John Carter and Conan), but maybe it's because it doesn't seem to work well on RPoL (or maybe it was just me).


I guess I still prefer the d20/Spycraft version that we're using.

Just thought I'd toss this out there, since I need to recruit a few more players. Maybe?

In reply to StarMaster (msg # 317):

I really like the 2D20 system in general, but it does involve lots of back and forth on every turn, so I can see why it wouldn't work well for rpol. I hadn't seen that they did a Stargate using it though. Is it a fan game or something?

I don't think so, but then they've got a hundred different products so I don't know if any of it is fan-created.

At the moment, as far as I could tell, the Core Rule Book is only available as hardcopy from England.

Oh, I think the one on the Modiphius store is the 5e thing from Wyvern Gaming.

If you look at the publisher it isn't modiphius.

Yep. Looks like you're right. Never noticed that. It's from Wyvern Gaming. Odd that Modiphius would sell it, but then that may be licensing for UK/Europe.

It's too bad; for a while my kid was getting into Stargate and wanted me to run a game for him... but this version is pretty dang weighty... would have been cool to have a 2D20 version of in person ttrpg.

Modiphius do quite a lot of print publishing for smaller game companies.

Hey folks. New kid here, let the hazing begin.

 Welcome to the game, hope to meet you soon.

Welcome!
