I'm also an underemployed ex physics student, thats not working out any better.

Yeah, I know a lot of unemployed physicists right now. Then again, an undergrad physics almost any kind of degree is pretty useless.

QuoteTempting actually, but I'm not taking on any new RPG design projects until i finish the d20 Modern rewrite.

Nice.  Share a link when you're done.  That was one of the most promising systems I've seen in a while.  You fixing up the crap skill system?

And many Masters, as well.

Yeah, I'm going for a PhD, no reason to half-ass it.

The only  thing I'm scared of, choosing the sciences, is getting stuck in dissertation limbo.

Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.

Did the last few chapters (16-22).  Don't really think the comic or cut-outs need critique.  May go back and do some of the ones I said I was going to go back to, depending on interest.  Otherwise trying to percolate and distill a rant into something readable.

Arafelis, I appreciate the willingness to finish the critique in the face of yawns and snubs (lol).

Some of it I consider pretty good criticism, but I'm really not going to get into that.

What I would like to do is extend an offer for you to write something for our current publication, Intermittens.

I believe the current in-progress issues' topics are "Discordianism in Theory and Practice", "Operation Mindfuck", .... ummmmm.... there's a couple more. Dig into the first 2 pages of this (TFYS,S) subforum and you'll find the threads.

The closest thing to a PhD in any of the sciences they offer is a "Science Education" degree, and somehow I doubt that actually involves much science...

Come on, man, he's too lofty to offer his own prodigious original talent to some lowly publication like ours

what are you thinking?

You're kidding, right?  Somebody offers me (as mentioned an underemployed ex-philosophy student -- with, which I will now add, a resume that might be improved by being a literal pile of shit) a chance to publish something that might even appear in print, on whatever subject I want, and receive attribution for it... and you think I'm going to turn them down?

That's not the kind of crazy I am, kiddo.

Then do it. Kiddo.
