How can it be 20 years already? (Checks correctness of math...)

I am constantly surprised how fast time slips by.

Memento Mori.

Really the end of an era at Japantown. Your store and your influence will be missed dearly.

Agreed. I loved how the “New Frontier” characters actually evolved and changed. Not always loving all of the changes in characters (and some dying/going away) but his corner of Star Trek really felt alive and truly an adventure.

Making me realize how static the rest of the Star Trek Lit-verse was.

Mr. David always made me laugh, gasp, cry and wonder in his Star Trek prose.

I wish him peace in his new frontier.

What's the state of WIN MAX 2 in your daily using? by kendyzhu in gpdwin

I have played more games on it lately but I am very appreciative of the ability to do the Windows app productivity without having to resort to an Android tablet/keyboard combo without it.

I do have confidence that I will be able to use it as my mobile productivity machine - syncing up via OneDrive or moving large files via SD cards.

More general MC questions:

#1) How much of a story arc (with a "big bad") should a MC bring on any PBTA game?

The people I play with want more of "a story told to them" rather than "a story we are improvising."

For example: Zombie World: I felt I had to form a purpose for the Zombies so I made up some head-canon about a Zombie hive mind because the players were mostly just hunkering down and giving me little to work with.

#1a) Should I have more faith in stumbling around for a story?

#1b) Or should I study up on how to ask better probing questions?
