Caught in the Mad Crush
Jul. 14th, 2004 12:37 pm-Signed up for that crush thing. Thus far I have been pretty, uh, austere about who I've listed. I mean, a crush lies somewhere in between "Hey, she's cute," and "Been dating for a year," yah? But where exactly? So my crushcount is currently around 3. I'm gonna wait and see how other people use it and what they have to say about it before adding anyone else.
I Knew It Would Come in Handy Someday
Jul. 14th, 2004 01:51 pm-Just had a phone interview with the one fellow from Job T I didn't meet yesterday. Part of it went something like this:
Interviewer: So, I'm wondering if you're aware of the scope of our product, and... Hey, wait, I was just looking down your resume [and got to the "Freelance Writer" part]. What roleplaying games have you written?
Jon: Well, my main publisher at the moment is Steve Jackson Games...
IV: I've played GURPS, sure, I thought your name was familiar. Which ones have you written?
Jon: [slightly amazed pause] Well, the most famous is the Hellboy RPG...
IV: That was a great book! Yeah, I've been playing GURPS since Man-to-Man, what was that, 15 years ago?
Jon: Going on 20 now.
IV: Hmm, yeah, that sounds right.
Jon: Well, I'm currently working on an update of Yrth, which you might remember from Orcslayer...
IV: You're doing that? Cool. That's going to follow [GURPS] Fourth Edition?
Jon: Yup.
IV: That's very cool. Neat. Uh, sorry about the digression.
Jon: Hey, no problem. It can only work in my favor.
