: New Listerner of RPPR - Kudos guys!

Ross and Tom,
Just started listening to you guys at work (I'm a graphic designer btw). It just makes the day go by BFS (better - faster - smoother). Although I haven't done any real role playing in a year or two, I do miss it. I've moved about an hour and 45 minutes away from my old group (80 miles 1–way). I've looked in to other groups but I can't find that synergy and camaraderie I had. So for now I'm just peering thru the looking glass until I can find another group or move back. But in the mean time I do enjoy the banter from both Actual Play and Episodes. 

Ross, I know your a graphic designer but I was wondering if you wanted any help? I have a page production background and I have done some things for Kenzer and Company. I just thought I'd hang that out there because, I would like to contribute to the podcasts but I'm broke.  So I figure maybe I can help by offering my services pro bono.

In any event keep up the great work guys!

JT

Actually yeah - It would be great to get a new template for the Codex of War. I laid out the New World Primer and the Goblin Hulk but I haven't settled on a particular style yet. Something with the text styles defined, a 1 and 2 column page template and guidelines, that kind of thing?

Welcome. Always nice to have more talented nerds around here. We should have a nerd roll call one of these days.

I want to meet an untalented nerd. I know they exist, but they seem to be a rare species. Then again, I do see a gaggle of geeks at a certain community college that seem to be relatively untalented.

There are several untalented nerds among my colleagues here at UWM. You know, over-educated, hyper-radical, under-sexed types that want to change the world but don't really know anything about political systems or practical political economy even though they can quote long passages from Marx's Das Capital and Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals while humming the bars of some trendy indie band that hasn't sold out yet and smoking clove cigarettes. Yes, signs of truly untalented nerds. Basically look for gatherings of hipsters and then look for hipsters that actually have gone to college and then look for hipsters that have gone to college and then to grad school and there, and really only there, will you find the rare (endangered even?) untalented nerd.

Nah, I read the difference between the nerds I defined and the nerds Ross defined in terms of gradation and not simply in terms of definition.

The Tom is a rare beast in this wild landscape called a forum. The Tom only rarely rears his head to make a post. It is sad that such a noble and powerful creature is so absent from the forum.

The natural Tom, preserve yours today!

Especially since Tom admittedly cheats at Ross's games.

Hi Ross,

I'm just curious...   What kind of composition software are you using?
