Illuminated Site of the Week
Here in the States, it's Memorial Day, the day dedicated to the memory of the men and women who have fallen defending this country.
We're not in the office. Voicemail and e-mail will be dealt with Tuesday.
Today seemed like a good day to show you a picture of your new flag. The cover letter said "This flag is to thank Steve Jackson Games MIB for the games sent to the soldiers of Delta Company 237th Brigade Support Battalion while they were deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom." It was flown by Delta Company over Camp Virginia, Kuwait. Thank you, guys. We are very proud to display it; it's on the brand new white wall enclosing our ALMOST-finished W23 space, and it will oversee a lot more "care packages" in the years to come.
Later edit: Yes, when the flag is hung on a wall, the union should be to the viewer's left. To the MANY people who pointed this out: thanks for caring, and thanks for letting me know. The photo above shows the corrected display.
-- Steve Jackson
Warehouse 23 News: Remember Them, The Best Way We Know How
As gamers, we've usually always got our mind in one place: "I wonder what it would be like to run a game like that?" It's almost second nature. So since today is Memorial Day (for us United American types), thoughts might turn towards running a military game. Our obvious shill here would be the GURPS WWII line (in paper or digital forms), of course. Which might seem in poor taste, but hey, we're gamers. What better way to honor our fallen than by doing what we hold most dear?
