Usually that's compared to a difficulty value set by the GM; sometimes it's opposed. text/html 2020-05-08T23:19:28+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.fectin.com/doku.php/ebert?rev=1588979968&do=diff Bad Link.

As before, we have a theme and that theme is “Pulp.” This time, we'll be watching sci-fi films with low budget origins, many of which have some redeeming value. Once again, we've also compromised the original vision of all old sci-fi by including some newer stuff, because of [Surprise!]. text/html 2012-08-29T04:00:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.fectin.com/doku.php/marathon_two?rev=1346212800&do=diff Marathon 2: Genetic Bugaloo Last Marathon went so well, we're doing it again. As before, we have a theme. This time, that theme is “genetic.” It's really more of a guideline than a rule though. Also, we've moved from all old sci-fi to some newer stuff, because otherwise we couldn't watch Fifth Element. text/html 2017-08-16T20:56:10+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.fectin.com/doku.php/maze_of_zayene?rev=1502916970&do=diff Maze of Zayene [Hans] text/html 2014-02-18T20:38:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.fectin.com/doku.php/paper?rev=1392755880&do=diff If you analyze enemy military forces under the operational factor force and the civilian population under the operational factor space, where should you analyze insurgents? Why? The distinction between force and space is a false dichotemy, which is exacerbated in this question by simplified ontologies. The fundamental conceits of operational art are still very much applicable, but require a more elemental framing. text/html 2015-08-25T03:06:50+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.fectin.com/doku.php/strategy?rev=1440472010&do=diff Strategy (and war). Orientation I have many opinions. This is a place to organize them. Here are several authors and texts I expect to be important for the Strategy and War course, and my summary and opinions on them. Clausewitz The most important thing about Clausewitz is his insight that we go to war for some reason. We're not just wrecking up the place for fun, there is some underlying purpose; we should tailor our place-wrecking to achieving the real purpose.

We actually ended up with a fairly good range, and will be showing them throughout the day. (mostly distopias, because this is old sci-fi and the other option is Sean Connery. Yes, Outland was good, but then you have to watch Zardoz) We'll also have food and drinks, as usual. It should be fun, Hope to see you there.
