Who remembers the Armenians?

Deep in my heart, I have an urge to write a novel about the California genocide. But, fuck. How do I even start that thing?

(comments off 'cause I'm not looking for advice, just trying to record the urge.)

Bliss!

I think I finally kicked the butt of the Bliss Stage conflict section today, and it actually says what I want it to say.

I'm going to wait a bit and try to pull together a full-book revision for the next playtest document (essentially the penultimate draft of the rules) but if anyone is planning on playing the game in the next week or so, ask for them.

New Icon means: Bliss (pronounced xi in mandarin). It's one of the two characters in the name (the other, not surprisingly, means "stage," prouncing tai.)

Hey, Andy, can I hit you up to tell me how 喜台 is pronounced in Japanese?

(okay, massive trivia for the one of you who might care: the game's character name is actually 喜臺, for the visual pun of it, but 臺 is just an old way to write 台, and I'm pretty sure that the Japanese use the latter form.)

Hey, Chris, do you mind being the "example player who knows the mechanics well" in the book?
