This one ^^^ for Celetharn Directorate. 
 

 

That leaves either the sword one or the big star for the Terrans. Either works.

I need some help making a decision. 

Several years ago I commissioned some artwork/badges for a game I was creating that I never wound up using/doing. I've decided to use them for my Traveller game instead to represent the various big governments of the setting. But I can't decide which badge should be for which government. 

Here are some of the badges:

Here are some of the governments I have:

Cethalarn Directorate (this is the one of the two I really need to decide on soon)
Terran Federation (this is the other one)
Free Community Union
League of Worlds

Wow, I feel old.

There is a new version of Wizardry: Proving Ground of the Mad Overlord coming out...

Megan had no idea what I was talking about - the game is older than she is.

 

I played that game through on the Apple ][.

 

The Auld Grump - creeping coins....

The Auld Grump

I remember that it took a high level spell to kill the creeping coins in time, and then you could really reap a payday.

Tiltowait!

 

I remember getting to Werdna, and (somehow) winning (probably through liberal use of Tiltowait).  IIRC, I mostly skipped the last dungeon levels (mostly by patiently grinding the upper levels so many times).  Maybe it was the elevator that took me straight down?

 

I've been wondering when or if anyone was going to port the Wizardry series over to Android/ios.

 

But I enjoyed The Bard's Tale a little more, I think.  In TBT, I eventually got my mages to max levels in all the classes and would raid "The Barracks" for fun: 396(?) Berserkers against my party.  A couple "Mind Blades" later, and there weren't so many berserkers left.  It was a little absurd, though, with the fighter-types taking their three shots into the horde, then the mages carrying the rest of the combat.

Well the Auld Phartes tm had a night out.

Did a Costco Run followed by dinner and then a Concert.

Big Brother And The Holding Company, at the Carson City Brewery Arts Center.

With Darby Grace, who replaced Gracie Slick in Jefferson Starship taking Janis Joplin's vocal duties.

That lady can belt out the blues just as good as Joplin when she wasn't too far into the bourbon.

More info here:  https://www.breweryarts.org/events/bbhc

not spoilered because the event is over and the ticket price information is irrelevant.

They tried to make a date change and make this the final outdoor concert of the summer concert schedule, thanks to a local Brewery Arts Center patron who was willing to front the costs to get a relevant 'Boomer Band" to tie in with the currently running exhibition of Psychedelic Era Band Ephemera for then upcoming concert dates.  Big Brother couldn't make the available dates work so, maybe next year?  The bass player mentioned he will have turned 80 by then.  That's an awful long time as a touring band. [The drummer is currently 83 and they are both original members].

Was a super good concert, dare I say "Groovy"??

Crowd was mostly boomers but a few younger people as well.

They did one medley of songs by other Psychedelic Era Bands, with White Rabbit as the lead-off song.  Only thing missing was the clouds of pot smoke.  I guess anybody doing a nostalgia stoner trip was using edibles, which are available from multiple "dispensaries" locally.

I'm very tired, and I have exceeded my personal noise tolerance limits.  I've already taken an extra round of Migraine Meds, we will see what tomorrow brings.

Cethalarn Directorate (this is the one of the two I really need to decide on soon)
Terran Federation (this is the other one)
Free Community Union
League of Worlds

 

 

 

Cethalarn Directorate - The one with the Sword ( A Directorate implies some use of force to keep people in line, so the sword)

Terran Confederation - the Big Star with the Blue Centre ( We Terrans love Stars)

Free Community Union - The First one ( Like @TGPmentioned the U is already there)

League of Worlds -The Swirl with all the little stars ( Universe Unite!)

 

That leaves the one with the novalike star with the rings around it, I suggest to keep that one for a rogue/rebel force when any of these Empires get into trouble with something like that.

Well, I got tossed in the jail of a popular mirco-blogging site for telling a bad person to "go jump in a lake." Apparently, that's a threat of violence. <_<

I was going over the paperwork the apartment manager dropped off, to update the mailbox number for the records, and it looks like she tried to sneak a $15 rent increase into it. I don't even know what to make of it. It could be a mistake, but I don't trust her at all anymore. I might just say I lost it, if she asks, and have her bring me a new one. If it's in there again, then I get to contact a lawyer.

As for my cleaning project, I'm almost ready to set up for painting. I had to take my old computer and try to get it to do a factory reset, so I can give it to my dad, but it had other ideas. It's been off for months, so it HAD to update things. It was rather annoying. At least it's done. I'm really looking forward to painting again. I've been trying to find time for it for months, but I kept finding other things I had to do. Now, I think I've got a good plan worked out to get things done. Maybe. Hopefully. :ph34r:
