December 26, 2005: GURPS Traveller: Interstellar Wars Proofs
Before a printer actually prints a book, they run a series of "proof sheets." The publisher reviews these proofs for color correction and text reflow. (Ah, yes, reflow. A problem we never had until digital production came along. Nowadays, what you send to the printers isn't necessarily what the printer prints . . . if his hardware, software, or sign of the Zodiac isn't exactly the same as yours.)
Last week, we received the proof sheets for GURPS Traveller: Interstellar Wars. Alex, Justin, and Chris gleefully pored over them, with Moe standing on the edge of the frame. A couple of very minor tweaks were found, and soon they'll be heading back to the printer with approval.
(One of the perks of the new office is the yards and yards of open desk space available for just such occasions.)

Warehouse 23 News: Because Weapons Of Minor Destruction Aren't As Interesting
You look bored. Bored people are not serving the best interests of their friend The Computer. They're sitting around, gathering dust. Dust that their friend The Computer has far better uses for. You could use some excitement. Some nuclear excitement. Paranoia XP: WMD is a lot like placing an antimatter bomb in your underwear. Exciting, isn't it?
