“Death” In The “Family”

You may have seen my post on social media that my computer died Monday. What exactly happened and what does it mean for JBE. First, what happened: the hard drive went. The boot sector is dead and nothing I do is bringing it back. “Have I tried …” My wife is a computer adept. SheContinue reading ““Death” In The “Family””

Traveller: We Are Moving Forward

Incase you had not heard, there has been considerable discussion online about the new licenses that DriveThruRPG put up last week Friday.
