The news that you're behind the reigns gives me security knowing it'll be the best it can be :).<br /><br />Another thing about NK this time around is that China is basically sick of their constant saber rattling. I don't have any real intelligence about the military capabilities of NK, but that no one treats them as a genuine threat speaks volumes. Having Korean friends myself, there's a big part of me that hopes to see the liberation of North Korea and possibly reunification within my lifetime.<br /><br />As for Thai food, I'm a huge fan of coconut curries, so that's all I ever get in Thai restaurants.

They're ...Rich, ever try Saya or Savan in Kent? They're two of my favorites, mainly because they're among the few places I've found that can make it without the fish-sauce since I'm allergic to all seafood.<br /><br />BTW, off-topic but as a squid and a wargamer, did you get a chance to check out the Kickstarter for Sails of Glory before it closed? It's a line that looks like it'll have potential, if how fast it reached full funding, how much funding it racked up and the history of its parent game (it's loosely based on the mechanics of Wings of War) are any indication.<br /><br />Also BTW... when you posted your "Parting Salvo" set-list for War at Sea, did I mis-count or was it only a 36-unit list?Diamondbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14097192762452254621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139498400908952220.post-91393675607122377242013-04-08T09:32:52.168-07:002013-04-08T09:32:52.168-07:00Thanks, Andy!

I read that thing through a dozen times; great stuff.Richard Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329182427795648081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139498400908952220.post-65346758042403190842013-04-08T07:53:42.766-07:002013-04-08T07:53:42.766-07:00Thanks for the "real world ruins" links!...Thanks for the "real world ruins" links! If you like that sort of thing, have you seen the "GM's Real World Reference" by Bentonite studios? It actually has Nan Madol listed, along with scads of other places, people and events that are "stranger than fiction". I backed it as a Kickstarter, but it's now available via DTRPG right here: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/109124/The-GM%27s-Real-World-Reference<br /><br />Cheers!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356946616595671054noreply@blogger.com
