Miami; the Makeshift Mermaid and other Yarns

Might be a good idea to post a blank for example. I''ll have to play with it a bit later.

I updated mine with some of the fancy rounded boxes and more condensed format that Tess used.  Here's the source:

fancy eagle there
http://www.jamesdjulia.com/auctions/archived/firearms/oct01/catalog/pict0210.jpg
crimson trace doesnt make any lasers for eagle
but you can get eagles with rails on them
http://www.gunslot.com/files/gunslot/images/34490.jpg

Virdian makes cool lasers though
http://www.viridiangreenlaser.com/advantage/whyviridian/

So you could get a Eagle with a Rail, put a viridian  laser on it, and then make some custom grips for it and have it nickle plated
http://www.magnumresearch.com/products/DEP817_R.jpg

Or you can go into photoshop and just fake it. Ivory just looks white or yellowish in real life, change a gold plated eagle to look silver, and put some laser on it

Also while we are geeking out, is it a 357, 44, or 50ae Eagle?

[Ren]

I am in this case referring to the one that Marty picked up. In this case its a .50AE

Wow...I don't understand ANY of that...lol

[Funge]

I updated mine with some of the fancy rounded boxes and more condensed format that Tess used.  Here's the source:

Looks great.  I'm glad you and Tess know what you're doing in this regard.  You're all lucky I know how to press Enter after every paragraph.  I might have to just nick that formatting when I get back from work.

[Funge]

However it looks like only 1 person posted their 3x3x3 on the OP site, where did everyone else put theirs? In the Google Docs Site?

I don't know if you're referring to me or not, but I put mine up temporarily at the tail end of Marty's character page.  I didn't want to start updating NPCs or anything like that without approval.

[BumblingBear]

I'm going to revamp my page now.

I'd say if anyone doesn't want to make character pages without permission, make a wiki page.  They're easy to erase if you don't want them anymore.

[fantazero]

looking over the 3x3x3s and I gotta ask, am I supposed to make up everyone or can I use characters already made up  (like the Mer-King for example) ? I've had a hell of day, so I might be out of it.

[BumblingBear]

My character page is done.

I've included my 3x3x3 too.

[BumblingBear]

Looks great.  I'm glad you and Tess know what you're doing in this regard.  You're all lucky I know how to press Enter after every paragraph.  I might have to just nick that formatting when I get back from work.

If you tranferred the NPCs over to me (field at the bottom in edit mode) I could fix them up with pretty boxes, add pics that are viewable before opening, and then transfer them back over to you.

[fantazero]

this is making me have to dust off some unused skills.
Html coding, writing fiction, talking to adults lol, homework ect


So I think I got everything all together (though later than I would have liked, damn I'm a slacker). Z said something about his house being a "No Fun Zone" as far as sodas and food go.
So Pluckers wings sound good? I have an "in" at the restaurant so I can get a break in price (I hope)
I still have Woodchucks and Sodas sitting in my kitchen from last time.

I was telling my wife I should go in character, but I dont have a cowboy hat, or cowboy boots. I do have a 5.11 Vest left over from paintball that has AR15 mag holders (you have shove RAP4 paintball Pods in there)  but I think I'll leave it at home this time.

I've been wondering what I should bring myself.

I'm thinking about going in character too.  Shorts, boots, body armor, Maui's fishhook, etc.  I'm thinking about using dressing up as an excuse to buy an obsidian knife too.

Yeah i know it was "compiled" in the 50's (after the Japanese Occupation of WW2) from other various Korean and Chinese arts. That said, everyone in their army learns how use it. Non-traditional stuff, is the sport that it has become, when people learn it more for sparing then self defense. Master Choi was a teacher for the Korean special forces and he always used to say "rules, there are no rules in war, its either him or you. Which do you want it to be?"

Yeah, I was strictly in the sport stuff, but I loved sparring, so that was fine by me.

that said we still did a lot of point sparing. Now that ive seen a lot of different techniques out there, my favorite is Krav. There are about 40 different "techniques" they want you to know, thats it. But the trick is mastering them. When i get the chance i want to get back into it.

Cool.  Yeah, Krav Maga is all about practical defense.  Gotta love it.

I miss my TKD.  I keep thinking about going back, and then I think I need to build my endurance back up, first.  So, I dash around in the woods, instead.

I used to teach Kenpo Karate in WA state.  I helped out with women's self defense too.

I did a little bit of Jiu Jitsu in Ranger Battallion when I was at 4th RTB, and then in the 82nd when they had Royce Gracie come by and teach some combatives.

All that said, I don't care for Jui Jitsu much.

Since then I've done Kung Fu and I really started getting into weapons.

I did some time in the SCA, I've done some work with WMA stuff (mainly longsword and sword and board), I've messed around with Kenjutsu...

I'm getting back into my roots with guns now, though.

As for SHTF, I keep thousands of rounds of ammunition in case the zombies ever attack.

I moved the 3x3x3 from the PC page to a wiki so anyone can edit it:  http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/solutions-unlimited/wikis/marty-holbrooks-3x3x3

Have at it if you like.  I learned a bit of HTML over a decade ago and have utterly forgotten it since.
