Thank you Steve Jackson.

(Illuminated News Service) After months of heated debate and repeated last-minute deadline changes, Iraq's elected representatives have reached agreement on their new Constitution.

It will be 10.

Next up for discussion is Dexterity. Observers anticipate that consensus will be reached on 12 or possibly 13. The current deadline for decision is in March 2006.

Snerk.

*lol* pity it's such a low Con :)

[lithera.livejournal.com]

I think it should be lower, man. It's sort of... high for such a bombed country.

[pullthestars.livejournal.com]

Hmm, you have a point there. They have at *least* a minus 1 or 2 modifier.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I was thinking maybe 8.

[pullthestars.livejournal.com]

that's what, a -2 modifier? that works for me.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

I know 9 is a -1... So, it's a -1 as well, acutally.

[pullthestars.livejournal.com]

Hm. well, I guess that it all depends on how many insurgency attacks they have in the next few weeks... might have to lower it to 7.

10 just means the default average in GURPS, which makes the joke even funnier because they took so long to decide on not spending any points on Constitution.

That is, it makes the joke even funnier if you are a Big Old Geek like me.

I had to read that a couple of times before I got the joke.

That said, I will now forward it to all my gaming-geek friends. :)

*grins*

It made me snicker.

I know! It took me like three reads before I got it. I'm so tired this morning :)

I didn't get it until my husband started laughing and laughing and laughing. Of course, I also didn't really register the "Dexterity" bit of it when I read it. :)

the *other* Jackson

So Kat, do you happen to know what Peter Jackson is up to after King Kong is done?

Re: the *other* Jackson

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Not yet. He typically doesn't announce those things until he's done with the project he's on.

I can tell you it likely /isn't/ The Hobbit, though.

[ocicat.livejournal.com]

Ya, that was pretty good.

By the way, did you know there is an "sjgames" feed on lj?

[lithera.livejournal.com]

I did not. I might have to add it. There is so much stuff on my LJ already, though...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I think their Charisma score might be a bit low - perhaps an 8.

I think they might need a neg modifier on that one for now.

No sorcerer spells for them!
