Fri Oct 30 19:23:26 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} do we want to pay for the whole group or have each person pay?

Fri Oct 30 19:33:04 1998 Damaq {public msg} Yeah I think that would be better. Plus we are basically sleeping right now about to go to Rudellas place ( is that her name? ;D)
Fri Oct 30 19:33:22 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} Rudwilla the witch  ;)
Fri Oct 30 19:33:47 1998 Damaq {public msg} Ahh Rudwilla ;D
Fri Oct 30 19:33:54 1998 Damaq {public msg} I knew it was something like that ;D

Fri Oct 30 19:34:54 1998 Cantroy {leaves}
Fri Oct 30 19:34:58 1998 TSRO_Hawk {action} . o O ( if only I would remember to write everything down... )
Fri Oct 30 19:35:05 1998 Damaq {action: }  grins mischievously.
Fri Oct 30 19:35:24 1998 Damaq {public msg} That's the only way I remembered Volkrad the first time ;D
Fri Oct 30 19:35:35 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} hehe...  & I'm glad you did  :)
Fri Oct 30 19:35:49 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} hey, did you figure out where I got the name for Squart?
Fri Oct 30 19:36:16 1998 Damaq {public msg} I'm thinking , kinda sounds like something off of Deep Space 9 for some reason. ;D
Fri Oct 30 19:36:29 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} nah, that's Quark  ;)
Fri Oct 30 19:36:37 1998 Damaq {public msg} See it's close ;D LOL
Fri Oct 30 19:36:58 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} Quick Trip used to have a drink holder with a straw...  I think they called it a Squart...
Fri Oct 30 19:37:00 1998 Damaq {public msg} Other than that I can't really think of anything.
Fri Oct 30 19:37:12 1998 Damaq {public msg} Quick Trip?
Fri Oct 30 19:37:24 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} gas station...
Fri Oct 30 19:37:45 1998 Damaq {public msg} Hmmm must have been before my time......or in another state ;D
Fri Oct 30 19:38:03 1998 Damaq {public msg} But it sounds dumb enough to be 60's or 70's LOL
Fri Oct 30 19:38:12 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} it was a while ago...  at least I think that was what they called it...  I can't remember....
Fri Oct 30 19:38:22 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} no, 80s or early 90s...
Fri Oct 30 19:38:31 1998 Damaq {public msg} Ahhhhh!
Fri Oct 30 19:38:32 1998 Damaq {public msg} ;D
Fri Oct 30 19:38:45 1998 Damaq {public msg} No wonder it's not around anymore ;D
Fri Oct 30 19:39:04 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} you know those squeeze drink containers that they have for sports?
Fri Oct 30 19:39:16 1998 Damaq {public msg} Excuse me do you have a Squart I can borrow.  A what???? ;D
Fri Oct 30 19:39:21 1998 Damaq {public msg} Yeah
Fri Oct 30 19:39:22 1998 TSRO_Hawk {action: }  chuckles in amusement.
Fri Oct 30 19:39:50 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} it's sorta like those only I think it holds around 72 oz....  it might be more....
Fri Oct 30 19:40:34 1998 Damaq {public msg} Hmmm that's pretty big.
Fri Oct 30 19:41:05 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} & I don't think they squirt as well as the sports version...  with the sports version you can almost have a water fight...  best way to have a water fight with a squart or one of the many other versions of it is to take the top off & dump it on the person...
Fri Oct 30 19:41:26 1998 Damaq {public msg} Maybe the only way ;d
Fri Oct 30 19:42:59 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} here we go...  found one...  32 oz....  that doesn't seem right, but I'm not that good at measuring fluid oz  ;)
Fri Oct 30 19:43:16 1998 Damaq {public msg} You found a squart?? ;D
Fri Oct 30 19:43:50 1998 Damaq {public msg} btw how far are you getting on putting an alternity game together?
Fri Oct 30 19:45:03 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} they have a definition on the side....squart (skwort - the "o" has a "^" over it) n. [squeeze <AS. - cwysan, crush + quart < L. quarters, fourth], 1. a cylindrical refillable cold drink container made of a flexible, unbreakable plastic with a capacity of 32 ounces.....
Fri Oct 30 19:45:48 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} there's also 2 & 3...  2 is long & 3 is - squarts are found only at squiktrip stores.
Fri Oct 30 19:46:02 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} squantity: 32 fl. oz. (ONE SQUART)
Fri Oct 30 19:46:10 1998 Damaq {public msg} LOL ;D
Fri Oct 30 19:46:59 1998 Damaq {public msg} So this Squart we've been hearing about it is a tinker gnome with a squantitiy of 32 fl. oz? LOL
Fri Oct 30 19:47:11 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} hmm...  Alternity game?  I'd like to say soon, but I got to talking with someone the other night about Star Wars &......  hmm...  Star Wars is fun & easy  ;)
Fri Oct 30 19:47:53 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} LOL...  hmm...  maybe something like that...  I was just trying to come up with something & for some reason that came up....
Fri Oct 30 19:48:13 1998 Damaq {public msg} Hehehhe it's a gnomish name....kinda
Fri Oct 30 19:49:14 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} have you ever played the Star Wars RPG?
Fri Oct 30 19:49:34 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} (or any of WEGs "d6" games?)
Fri Oct 30 19:49:55 1998 Damaq {public msg} Nope but I looked at it once way back in 95? 94? when I was at Disney World and it was at their Star Tours gift shop ;D
Fri Oct 30 19:50:21 1998 Damaq {public msg} never heard of any other WEG games
Fri Oct 30 19:50:36 1998 Damaq {public msg} I've played a couple of d10 games (whitewolf mostly)
Fri Oct 30 19:53:09 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} let's see...  hmm...  I can't find any ads in the 2 Star Wars Adventure Journals I pulled off the shelf...  I know "D6" which was their latest & then they had TORG I think...
Fri Oct 30 19:54:06 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} "D6" had some campaign supplements for Indiana Jones, a Spy/Private Investigator type setting, & something else...
Fri Oct 30 19:54:36 1998 Damaq {public msg} Hmm...private investigator and spy that sounds cool
Fri Oct 30 19:54:47 1998 TSRO_Hawk {action} . o O ( maybe should have pulled off #2 & #3 rather than #10 & #11.... )
Fri Oct 30 19:56:45 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} Star Wars Adventure Journal #15 was the first one that had Steve Miller as the editor....  hmm.....  he worked for TSR prior to doing SWAJ & now I see him around here...  I'll have to ask if that was the first & last SWAJ he edited...
Fri Oct 30 19:58:13 1998 Damaq {public msg} hey have you ever heard of cyberpunk?
Fri Oct 30 19:58:33 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} yep
Fri Oct 30 19:58:39 1998 Damaq {public msg} ever played it?
Fri Oct 30 19:58:54 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} hmm....  I don't think so...
Fri Oct 30 19:59:01 1998 TSRO_Hawk {private msg: tsrstan} hiya :)
Fri Oct 30 19:59:16 1998 Damaq {public msg} man I want to find someone that'll run that online that's my other favorite besides d&d
Fri Oct 30 20:00:36 1998 TSRO_Hawk {private msg: tsrstan} is the Steve Miller that hangs around here sometimes....  did he work for WEG?  I remember Star Wars Adventure Journal #15 being edited by a Steve Miller who had worked for TSR...
Fri Oct 30 20:01:06 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} hmm...  might have to look around a while...
Fri Oct 30 20:01:18 1998 Damaq {public msg} definitely
Fri Oct 30 20:02:03 1998 TSRO_Hawk {private msg: tsrstan} hey kewl...  do you know what the last issue # was of SWAJ ?  I haven't seen any out after #15  :(
Fri Oct 30 20:03:40 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} I've been debating on running that Blade's Run campaign in Star Wars again or if I should jump the gun on starting it in an Alternity campaign...  if I did Alternity then alot of the group would be learning it as they went along..  ;)
Fri Oct 30 20:04:15 1998 TSRO_Hawk {private msg: tsrstan} I have #2-#15...  I never saw it until after #1 was sold out  :(
Fri Oct 30 20:04:35 1998 Damaq {public msg} yeah.....alternity sounds pretty cool though so I wouldn't mind learning
Fri Oct 30 20:05:07 1998 TSRO_Hawk {private msg: tsrstan} heh...  I have about half as many Star Wars books as I do AD&D...  of course I've only been playing RPGs since about '92...
Fri Oct 30 20:06:56 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} yep, my problem is technology...  I'm having a hard time converting it & I sorta don't want to use "blasters" or label them something stupid like "laser-guns" ;)  I need to talk to TSRO Roc...  I think he was running a Star Wars campaign with Alternity & he also put out an Alternity article in the newest Dragon Annual  :)
Fri Oct 30 20:07:48 1998 Damaq {public msg} that's cool ;D
Fri Oct 30 20:08:15 1998 Damaq {public msg} what is Roc doing nowadays anyway?
Fri Oct 30 20:09:23 1998 TSRO_Hawk {private msg: tsrstan} I liked alot of everything in those...  the NewsNet stuff was useful as was Platt's "Smuggler's Guide" ;)    I think my biggest problem with much of anything was that they never put any prices down for stuff in the Galaxy Guide on Scouts...  & no prices for most capitalships...  of course what player is going to buy one? I'd like to sell a couple ;)
Fri Oct 30 20:09:54 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} I think he's helping with the message boards...
Fri Oct 30 20:11:54 1998 TSRO_Hawk {private msg: tsrstan} I know, but as a DM I'd sorta like to know what they're worth...  there is the odd chance that someone will get a hold of something the size of a Nebulon-B & try to sell it to the Rebellion...  of course that's not happened in my campaign yet...  I would like to try having the Rebellion charge careless characters for losing a capitalship though <eg>
Fri Oct 30 20:12:13 1998 TSRO_Hawk {public msg} you want to head to Live now?
