Old School HERO materials...

Here's an archive of files for HERO system. This archive is from the BBS days of the "internet" but it has some interesting campaign stuff, including Scott Bennie's Gestalt Earth stuff. A great setting and some cool ideas for super-hero gaming. Its really a pity that it never got published like it was supposed to.

Cat Rides 150 Miles in Car's Engine, OK

I can see a cat of mine doing something this stupid...

Cat Officially Loses One, Perhaps Two, of Nine Lives

"ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. - For Tracker, the car ride from the Kalamazoo area to Rochester Hills was long, and could have cost him a life or two.

"The long-haired gray cat rode unseen in the engine compartment of a female college student's car as she drove home for the holidays. Officials at Pontiac's Michigan Animal Rescue League, the feline's current home, say he probably survived the 150 mile-trip in the Chevrolet Tracker because the woman did not stop."

Gold Rush Games

I've entered the new affliate program for Gold Rush games. If you look to the right, you will see links for some of their products, just click on the links and buy away. Yes, I do get a very small amount for it. Just enough (probably) to buy some of their stuff. Trying to make it self-supporting, I guess. Check it out, I wouldn't huck the stuff if I didnt' like it.
