DOES ANYBODY WHO IS REALLY GOOD AT PIRATING BOOKS WANT TO TRY TO HELP ME FIND A COUPLE OF BOOKS? I am having the hardest damn time.

Can't make any promises, as I've not pirated many books in recent years, but what you looking for?

In other news, diet continues to work.  I've lost a stone in just under three weeks, with no additional steps.

The soup is boring as fuck, but it does make choosing what to have for breakfast, lunch and dinner pretty simple.

Well, Little Orange I is in fact on Nook, and I finally managed to get the chapter breaks correct, so that the new chapters appear at the top of the page, rather than at random intervals.  I seem to be getting better at this.

LO2 is still hanging in limbo, distributor-wise.  I may have to wait until Monday.   :argh!:

Did you already say what, exactly, you're eating on your diet?  I wouldn't mind losing a few (weight measurmenete of choisce)s.

Well, he's going to jail, so I imagine he wants to spend more time with his accountant.

Oh boy. Is he under investigation? I just didn't catch anything about it.

It was announced today that Fantasy Flight Games bought L5R from AEG.  It will re-debut as a LCG at GenCon 2017.  Playtesters aren't being ported over.

There goes my happy feels.

L5R-Legends of the 5 Rings
AEG- the company that used to do L5R
LCG- I think Living Card Game. Not that a fucking clue what is actually entailed in an LCG.

What I didn't get was LCG and "ported over".

Ok. Did a bit of muh homework. What the hell was he doing running? Nevermind... he's probably going to burn.

Living Card Game: a game where there is no collectibility, no surprise in what you get in a box.  Everything is static. 

What I meant by ported over is that it's not going to be a collectible card game anymore. 

The problem here is that you must, absolutely MUST always buy the new expansions, because if you don't you will fall behind as the environment distends and becomes unbalanced for those who get left behind.  It's the nature of LCGs.  In CCGs you don't need to keep buying everything, it's just helpful, and of course there's the sense of surprise and glee you get when you open a pack and find that super rare card you need and nobody has.
