Steve Jackson Puns

I'm still trying to discover in which book this artwork was published. I've gone through all my Gurps books that have art by the Day brothers and have chased down people's previous suggestions, but no luck. I'm hoping someone can figure out the writing on the border of the artwork and point me at the right direction.

Crazy, Nash beat out Mark Jackson by only one assist.

I have heard theres a good version of the 1982 card trading game on tabletop but its not on the workshop anymore. If anyone has a .json save file for it I would love to see it uploaded here.

Same goes for Bang: The Duel since that also seems to have gone. Oh, and feel free to post any other saves of good games you cant find on the workshop anymore.

History happens tonight! Paul is averaging over 10 assists a game this season.

Hot takes only. Does Phil Jackson or Steve Kerr have a better NBA Legacy? (player + coach)

Source >The former Warriors center, who played with Green from 2013-16 and in 2019 at Golden State, revealed an interesting anecdote Tuesday while chatting with Damon, Ratto and Kolsky on 95.7 The Game.

>“[Green] was almost out of the league,” Bogut said. “A lot of people don’t realize, [coach] Mark Jackson tried to play him at the three more than the four and it wasn’t his natural position.”

>“He struggled his rookie year to find what his role was in the NBA and within the team,” Bogut said. “Once he got that opportunity from Steve, it kind of all changed. He’s the first to tell you, he was almost on a plane to Europe with the way he was being played earlier in his career.”

No surprise Mark is without a coaching job lol

Title. What the hell was Lloyd Pierce doing with this roster? They were a sub .500 team with him and now they're fighting for a fucking finals appearance with McMillan as an interim coach. It's actually insane how good of a job Nate has done with this team since taking over. Makes me wonder what exactly was going on before he got the reins...

I loved every part of Inkle Studios and Steve Jackson's "Sorcery!" series. But I think my favorite part of those games is the beautiful maps. This is where all the gameplay takes place as your character token moves about a highly detailed map.

Are there any other video games out there that have you just wonder about detailed maps? Doesn't have to be a choose your own adventure type like Sorcery, just the map exploration part.

I am aware that there are some video game adaptations of other Fighting Fantasy books, which Sorcery is based on. As well well as a couple much older games Jackson, and I believe one Ian Livingstone did. But all of those are not really what I'm looking for.

Must see vintage RPG video! https://youtu.be/PKZuafM-bwg

Games Workshop featured on TV in 1984. The TV feature was presented by the legendary author and comedian Ben Elton. Elton introduces gaming then goes on to play Dungeons and Dragons with Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson. Elton films sequences in the Games Workshop first store in London and interviews staff and customers. Incredibly you can see original artwork on the walls of Livingstone's office! We have digitally enhanced and increased the video resolution but there are obvious limitations.

Today I wanted to share with y'all a story about hackers, government overreach, and one of Austin's first internet portals. It harks back to a time before Eternal September when computer bulletin board systems (The BBS) was the dominant method of online communication.

As many of you might remember, in the mid to late 1980s home consumers started buying PCs or Macs for a variety of reasons. At the same time, modem technology was becoming cheap enough for them to be widely sold and included with the computers people were buying. This left a lot of people with a computer capable of connecting with other computers and little idea how to utilize it. Programmers all over the world came up with various kinds of terminal connection software and also the software for what they would be connecting to, the BBS. What is/was a BBS? It's like a server that hosts different things: a mail system, mostly forums, chat, online games, files, and occasionally other things like being part of a network to share files/emails/games with people in far flung parts of the world.

Before the internet was widely available in Austin outside of UT computer labs, Austinites connected on BBSs of all kinds over phone lines. There must have been hundreds if not thousands in the 512 area code. Some of the old phone directories are preserved in old text files from that period. You can see that most of the BBSs had themes or main topics. Some were devoted only to sharing files or playing games, while others were about chatting, matchmaking, and connecting with other people. One of the earliest and most popular BBSs in Austin specialized in tabletop RPG and board games. It was called Illuminati BBS, and the person who came up with it was a fellow named Steve Jackson.

Steve Jackson was born in Oklahoma but was raised in Houston. He graduated from Rice University with a double BA in Political Science and Biology in 1974, but by 1979 he was trying to make money selling tabletop games he invented. One of these earliest games was called "Raid on Iran" and the point was to rescue the hostages. In 1980 he moved to Austin and rented a shop on the south side of town. In the beginning he was making a little over $100k a year selling books, magazines, RPG materials, box games, and card games. [By 1988 he made his first million

In 2009 the most yards allowed by Revis was 58 yards, and held Hall of Fame level recievers to under 35 yards. Its arguably one of the greatest seasons by a CB of all time. In the divisional round in 2009 Vjax had 7 catches for 111 yards.

2009 was the peak of the Chargers passing attack under Rivers. A huge factor was Vincent Jackson in his prime. In 15 games he had 1167 yards and 9 tds with a whopping 17.2 yards per catch.

RIP Vincent Jackson
