Hey guys. I haven't forgotten about Grass-Spiders. I was agreeing to way too many projects at Northwestern and it kind of came to a head the past couple of weeks after a few disasters. After admitting to myself that I was way in over my head and focusing on the wrong things, I sucked it up and cut some shit out of my science life. I will finish writing the Mesa/Opal moment, but I recalled some conversations I had with Tony and my own thoughts, and in light of those, I propose the following: Sometime in the next 2 months or so, we take a weekend, meet up, and play the mission. I think it would be fun to get in the habit of meeting up a few times a year outside of the holidays to RP or do something awesome (like if Nobuo Uematsu ever comes back to Chicago). I think the most logical starting point is Indianapolis - it's about a half-way point for us, I think, and it has enough shit that we could make our non-RP hours interesting, too. I'm really excited about this possibility, so I'll start things off with a rough suggestion, and if you guys are interested, we can iron out the details:
[[image:EX3_Map.jpg|600px|thumb|right]]
* We split a hotel room or two in Indianapolis for the nights of Apr. 26 and 27
The EX3 Devs sent out a low-res version of the final map, unfortunately it's a little too low-res to see too many details.
* Get into Indianapolis late Friday, order some pizza and RP as long as we can stay awake
* Wake up Apr. 27, do something cool or fun in the city, then go out to dinner somewhere cool, then RP the night away
* Head home Sunday.
I know splitting a hotel room makes it a more expensive RPing session than we're used to. An alternate plan would just be alternating visits to one another, and you guys could crash at my place in Chicago (I have a futon that turns into a bed, a couch, and full out extra bed, so I could accommodate three people without awkward sleeping arrangements), and I could either crash with one of you guys or my parents in Columbus. I'm happy to come to Columbus for the first round (i.e. sometime in the next two months). Obviously these dates are flexible, I just picked that one as an arbitrary starting point (although it would work for me if it works for everyone else).
What say you, gentlemen?

==Commission==
Let's post potential commission artists here. Let's plan to have an artist picked by roughly the end of the month or within the next two weeks or so - I can handle contacting the guy and everything; once that's done I can interface with everyone to get together everyone's description of their characters.

This is probably my favorite of the ones that I have found. (This is the one I found around Christmas and posted below.) I haven't spent a ton of time looking but this person definitely has an exalted style and we could vary the price quite a bit. Sketches look pretty cheap while other fully colored and background work is a bit more expensive. --[[User:FyreFly|FyreFly]] 16:47, 23 January 2013 (EST)
Just saw that the beta testing ended last week. Some hope of a December or early 2013 release date! No details I could immediately find though. --[[User:FyreFly|FyreFly]] 13:39, 18 November 2012 (EST)
Nice! Maybe we could start an online game! (Or maybe that's a pipe dream...) Also, how terrible is it that I looked for a 'Like' button on that post?
[[User:Olaf|Dan]] 16:52, 18 November 2012 (EST)
An online game would be solid, but it might be a pipe dream... And yes it is absolutely terrible that you looked for a 'Like' button on that post. (I'll just go on pretending I've never done that before...) --[[User:FyreFly|FyreFly]] 22:20, 19 November 2012 (EST)
Looks like a playable product has been released. Even if it is a beginners boxed set. A quick look at the forums tells me a true core book is expected in the spring.

Edge of the Empire has arrived, haven't opened it yet.
<br>On the topic of RP this weekend, I guess I'm going to the Columbus beer fest thing on Saturday night but what about Friday or Sunday? [[User:Kirkland|Kirkland]] 09:41, 9 January 2013 (EST)
==Grass Spiders on You==
We're back.
Well done sir. Looking forward to it and hope to find time to post some stuff of my own this week. --[[User:FyreFly|FyreFly]] 19:05, 25 November 2012 (EST)
I was refamiliarizing myself with The Grass Spiders and had the thought that it's too bad we done have a commissioned picture of The Circle with No Name. Would anyone be interested in splitting the cost of a commission? Assuming we can find a good artist for a reasonable price. (Group Christmas Present?) --[[User:FyreFly|FyreFly]] 23:06, 26 November 2012 (EST)
A thousand times yes.
[[User:Olaf|Dan]] 23:25, 26 November 2012 (EST)
I'm in! [[User:Kirkland|Kirkland]] 09:55, 27 November 2012 (EST)
Gah, I meant to post today, but Bears losses tend to lead to excessive drinking in my social circle... >_<. So, today was sort of wasted (hah! Double meaning!) Tomorrow. Tomorrow.

I posted a really good [[Media:Map of Nexus.jpg|Map of Nexus]], but it's kind of huge. So my bad on that, probably should have resized before uploading... Anyway it's in the Exalted Resources Page. --[[User:FyreFly|FyreFly]] 18:53, 7 December 2012 (EST)

==Linux v. Windows==
I had to tell someone. I figured Kirk would appreciate this. Bluetooth quit working spontaneously on my Windows install, and I had been thinking of installing Linux on my work laptop for awhile (I was sick of X11 tunneling with PuTTY in Windows), so I decided to install it. I was feeling a little bit rusty on my *nix skills, so to get back in the game, I installed ArchLinux (I thought about installing FreeBSD, but that's a bridge too far), a notoriously bitchy distro that makes you do everything from the ground up.
Bluetooth worked ''out of the box''. On a distro that prides itself on installing essentially nothing out of the box. I was slack-jawed.
Linux: 1 <br/>
Windows: 0

I backed up Seventh Legion today. Download it just so we have copies on as many hard drives as possible.
It really is amazing and I'm pretty glad it's lasted as long as it has and generated so much content. I would say the sitting here and clicking random page has gone from something I enjoy to being a full fledged hobby of mine. Also, this is a little late but did you guys realize that March 25th, 2012 was the 5th anniversary of this site being live?
Some pretty awesome stats to remind you how sweet this site is and how often we use it:
575,000 Total Page Views
115,000 per year
9,500 per month
2,200 per week
375 page views per day!
We have 5 pages with over 10,000 views individually!
10,000 Page Edits
2,000 edits per year
165 edits per month
35 edits per week
5 edits per day!
Over 500 content pages
100 per year
8 per month
Pretty awesome and continuing to grow as always. Keep up the good work gentlemen.
