Teppanyaki Superman
Thursday, July 27th, 2006I’ve tried Sushi Restaurants and Noodle restaurants in the past. I’d never had Teppanyaki before. Went to the Teppanyaki Sapporo on Duke Street (Liverpool) after Superman last night. A bit pricey but the show put on by the chefs as they cooked our food in front of us was really good. If you want to […]

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006This Follows on from: Characters on the Couch (Part 2). The first part can be found at: Characters on the Couch (Part 1). The Ruler Archetype "Power isn’t everything.

A little Gaming Experiment
Monday, July 24th, 2006I’ve just uploaded a little gaming experiment. The same top down view of a 3 oar ship’s longboat at 3 slightly different sizes as a PDF file. Hopefully they are suitable for use by wargamers and role players. I think B is probably the best suited to 25mm figures with A a little small and […]
That Sunday Post about Writing only 13 Hours Late
Monday, July 24th, 2006This should be a post about the frustrations of having a really good few hours writing and then realising you’ve info dumped a huge chunk of the story rather than having the main character interact with characters, risk danger and generally do heroic stuff. It should be about the *joys* of editing (TM) where the […]
I would appear to be Blackbeard
Saturday, July 22nd, 2006I’m blaming the bottle of wine I’ve polished off tonight for the following result… You scored as Black Beard. When you finally die and enter Hell, the devil will hand over his reign and bow. Black Beard 75% Mary Read 67% Will Turner 67% Captain Jack Sparrow 50% Captain James T. Hook 42% Dread Pirate […]
You know that it's really humid when…
Saturday, July 22nd, 2006You get a dry bottle bottle of pepsi out of the fridge and it’s dripping with water in seconds. Feels like there might be a thunder storm later. Pretty much the same thing as Darkdwarf’s post: You know that it’s really hot when…
Google Sitemapped this Blog
Friday, July 21st, 2006I’ve been using Google Sitemaps on the impworks site for a month. I’d not realised I could use it on a blogger using the atom feed until I was browsing the web earlier. It hardly took any time to do. Log in to Google Sitemaps using your Google account (or sign up first if you […]
Vue News Blog
Thursday, July 20th, 2006I got really fed up when searching the web the other night for some information about Vue that I’ve started a new collaborative Blog just to try to collect Vue news. Jim Coe is going to be contributing too. If you would like to help out with an occasional post drop me an e-mail mark@www.impworks.co.uk […]
Characters on the Couch (Part 2)
Wednesday, July 19th, 2006Following on from: Characters on the Couch (Part 1). Drivers Each of the archetypes is associated with one of the drivers giving a general impression of what they want to do. The key drivers that Jung identified were stability, mastery, belonging and independence. Modern discussions sometimes refer to stability as “providing structure”, mastery as “thumb […]
Some Blogs while Hiding from the Sun
Tuesday, July 18th, 2006A year ago I didn’t really see the point of blogging. Now I’m hooked and I find myself reading more blogs regularly. Here are a few of my favourites… Very True Things: Steve Pugh the SFSFW’s hard working web masters blog. DarkDwarf – on life, working at the the Assassination Bureau and trying to get […]
