Duplex, One word that can mean so much in Laserjets

If your laser printer does not have this ability... You run the risk of damaging your printer. Oh fuck. Anyway, we bought a new printer, the Epson C79 even with the Continuous Ink Supply is not worth it because of the Printer Head life of the Epson C79 is roughly a 1-2000 pages. So even if you can print DIRT cheap no one honest can fix your printer (Don't get it fix in shopsvile arcade in GH, its a scam the guy only knows how to unclog your printer head which you can do yourself) and the printer head chip is 90% the value of the printer... you end up buying a new printer. We then go the CSX-4200, now its a GOOD printer but without DUPLEX (manual or automatic) you waste a ton of paper. I'm pretty frugal and like saving paper (and indirectly the environment), but more importantly I'm pretty obsessive compulsive and I like printing Back-to-Back. In like making little booklets, double-sided cards, and reusing scratch paper for test prints. It (SCX-4200) has good stats excep

Small Excersize

here is a sample project . It took a while to model this rough beowulf.I'll add details and materials later on.

Havent Visited The Boards

There are a lot of good people there . but I don't really need the help anymore. At this point I'm past all technicalities and all that is left is GM's fiat. A minimum 4 months to have your mail answered and a god knows how long before it can be answered. Even if I had money and I wanted to make write a GURPS book of Mahadlika it will take forever for the initial inquiries, then replies, etc. etc. WTF. Time is money and IF this is how slow they do business then there is really no point in doing business with them unless you have the luxury of time... time that no one really has to spare when they are gunning for the hope that people will like the game the would want to publish. That was my last reality check and the last ember of my dream that smoldered away. It's not so bad, whats the chances of someone giving me a shot and me doing well in that gamble. Anyway, I'm working on my 3ds Max and I can still following my dream but in a different path. Baby's in Bangk

Losing my Faith

Tired of the Runaround. Lost my Faith in my favorite Gaming company. I like their products but I won't be patronizing them anymore.

I know what to run

Not that I have any players. I want to run Gothic Traveller aka Fading Suns. Some changes will be that I will be using the Traveller Economic Models to allow players to buy and sell stuff, using their cunning and canny to buy low, sell high, and find the best deals. The other lessons that I learned was balancing Ultra-Tech goods. Basically, how to keep it Simple for Me, Fun for my players and Easily in Control. The nice thing about the new economic model is I know how the players make their money and how to make a killing if they want to go into that kind of detail. I'm not afraid of allowing them some cool stuff like powered armors, mono-wire blades, and anime-like cool gear without overly complicating combat and turn sequence. The changes I will make to Fading suns fore most is to use the Traveller mode of travel. Jump drives allowing character to move through the vastness of space instead of Jump Gates. The change will make maps pasec based and allow characters to freely leave
