META: We’re back!

Sorry for the outage, folks, a combination of a changed DNS table and a vacation at UGO HQ resulted in a site outage — the main host couldn’t communicate with the MySQL server, in a nutshell. How they got computers in a nutshell is beyond me, but there you have it.

Random Panel: Emergency backup redundant plan, GO!

DragonCon update

This rivals anything I have ever seen … The geekage goes to eleven …

META: Out at DragonCon

I’ll be out til Sunday night at DragonCon in Atlanta, so posting will be very light. I’ll be keeping loose tabs via my iPhone but no promises on how quickly I can approve held comments and such.

I have scheduled “Daily Random Panel” posts for each day so you’ll have that, and by all means consider those “open threads” where you can talk about whatever you like. Otherwise though you’re on your own.

Have a great Labor Day Weekend! And if you’re going to be at DragonCon too, drop me a line and maybe we can say howdy.

Random Panel: Very random indeed

HM3: Pistol whippery

I’ve just updated the HeroMachine 3 Alpha with the ItemRight-Pistols set of items for your shooting pleasure. This includes all of the one-handed firearms from HM2.5 (I hope) and some new ones, too, for a total of 32 complete items. Most of those are further broken down into separate stock and barrel items as well, plus a scope and a silencer at the end of the set, for a grand total of 84 selectable choices. Here are the assembled ones:

pistols1
pistols2
pistols3

As a bonus, here are the HM2 items alongside their new 3.0a counterparts. The difference is, I think, striking:

Hope you like them! Please let me know in comments if you run into any weird bugs, or if something’s missing that you were really hoping for.

Also, please post in comments what you’d like me to work on next. When I return from DragonCon I’ll pick a set and get your specific requests for whatever it is.
