Warp Speed, Mister Sulu!

After being unable to get any kind of high-speed Internet access (due to living in a relatively small town), I'm now a happy Adelphia Cable Internet subscriber. According to DSL Reports I'm downloading at 600 kpbs+ (about 75 KB/sec download speed), but with my laptop (thanks to a much faster processor and Windows XP) I can get as high as 3500 kpbs. :) Time for a new home computer, I think.

This should seriously speed up my research time. No more waiting on slow-loading pages when I'm looking for some obscure fact or other.

In other news, the fate of GURPS WWII: Blitzkrieg is a bit up in the air, but I'm not really at liberty to elaborate yet. Suffice to say that SJ Games is happy with me and the project, but they're considering some options at the moment, unrelated to me personally or to Blitzkrieg. It's a little disheartening, after so much work on the project, but I could always try and pitch it elsewhere if SJ decides against it.

GURPS SWAT is continuing apace, and should be finished on time (June 15). I hope the whole issue with Blitz doesn't bleed over though. I'd hate to think I'm rushing to meet a short deadline for no reason.

Finally, I'm finishing up a short story and NPC writeup for Alderac's Spycraft and should be sending it off to them shortly. It's a freebie, designed for use on their website, but in talking to Patrick Kapera, he wanted to see a sample of my fiction and my d20 skills (which are, frankly, rusty). Still, they're coming back to me. Look for more details here soon.
