Brett's Blog What's on my desk? Dec 06, 2008 | 7:44 pm Work just seems to be piling up on me. Here's what's sitting on my desk right now... 1. The first draft for Gripping Tales of the Impossible #2 -- I still need to look it over. 2. Several, now outdated, stapled chapters of the GD3 Manual. I'll soon have the next to the last chapter to be completed on my desk: Magic. 3. Old Story Engine 3 Playtest documents. 4. Some Ghostories horrors and stuff that I need to edit. 5. A check I need to process from wargamedownloads.com. And all my reference material... 1. A pile of books, including Ghostories, EarthAD2, Mean Streets, Warcosm, the New World Disorder series, Iron Gauntlets (which is falling apart due to my horrible folding to keep pages flat), IG Companion, two copies of Two-Fisted Tales (I think one is the first printing, which I should really put away), Coyote Trail, Atomik Add-ons, Unbidden, Story Engine Classic, Tombstones n' Tumbleweeds (1E), HN: Sovereign Space, and the Disposable Heroes: Printed HARP prototype. 2. A few Disposable Heroes in bases. 3. Two six-sided dice. 4. My notebook of odd game ideas and experiments. That doesn't include the projects on my hard drive, of which this is a screenshot of my latest activity: 4 Comments | Add Comment | Permanent Link | Return to Overview paraplegic racehorse Commented: Dec 10, 2008 | 2:40 pm Cool...

The majority of the books are in the stack "upcoming reading" with a few in the stack "ready for boxing up for storage." Everything else is just clutter and short jobs that can all be done in the space of an afternoon.
