Texas Tech’s principal had a plan during the Second Great Depression and the drug wars between America and Mexico. She had some understandings with the drug lords and had been doing her best to throw roadblocks up in the way of Dixie, the students, and the faculty as they fought the drug lords. Some of the roadblocks worked. But Dixie and her allies found their way around most of them. In the end, the drug lords demanded a permanent solution to the Dixie problem. They executed it on graduation day.
Welcome to the halfway point in the calendar year. I’ve had a busy year both in real life and with Jack of Harts. It’s been a good year, and for much of that I have those of you who purchase my stuff to thank for it. Now I have one question for all of you. What do you want? What things do you “make do” with a pencil scratching on a torn sheet of paper in your RPGs or wargames where a token or card or something else would make it all look better and more immersive to the gamers? What do you wish other companies would make for you to play with? What do you want?
When the Peloran made Contact, they passed by a hundred lightyears of scout ships and thirty lightyears of colonies to reveal themselves inside our own native star system. And when the quick-thinking British captain invited the Peloran over for tea, the Peloran answered, “we would not have come all this way for excretal Yank coffee.” That answered two questions. “Do aliens understand fart jokes?” And “would they watch us long enough to recognize our divergent cultures before making Contact?” They have never answered the third question. “How long have they been watching us?”
Space stations are fun to visit because they can easily simulate any environment. From low to high gravity, any temperature, and air pressures out to the fringes of what humanity can survive. Want snow or maybe a jungle? Or do you just want metal decks? You can find any environment you want in space. They are the ultimate in tailored environments. You may not be surprised to know that I really like the simulated beach stations. Though I’ve seen some that mimic the American Midwest good enough to fool even me. I love those too.
The school year was almost over by the time Twilight, Dixie, and her gang of misfits collected enough information to damn their principle in a court of law. Most of it had even been obtained legally, and they could fake the rest good enough to fool the police. The evidence went in the mail the morning of the graduation and they congratulated themselves on having taken down a really bad person. By the time graduation was over, they didn’t need any evidence to prove anything at all.
