Terminal Velocity News and Happenings
Welcome to Terminal Velocity's news page. On this page, we'll cover just about everything that TVG is currently doing and have recently done. We'll even have the occasional article from one of our members. If you are a member and want to publish an article, run it past us and we'll have our resident editor look it over. Enjoy!
March 4, 2010:Alright, cop the attitude. We won't be going to Origins at all this year. They've just done too many things to piss us all off, and for as much as we want to come for you guys... we don't want to reward them with cash for doing such a poor job. It's not like they've even tried to get things done right this year. Our only regret is not getting to see you guys this year. We'll have to make it up to you all with some top notch games next year!!
March 4, 2010:This is probably going to be a little bittersweet for our players. It appears that we will not be running for Origins this year. Whoa! Reread the sentence before you cop the 'tude. I said "running FOR Origins"... that doesn't mean that we won't run for our regulars. I talked to the brothers and since the powers at the Con decided to give us 10 days to get our stuff in from first contact, we decided to take a break this year and not deal with them. Instead, we are going to enjoy the Con and try to play a few games with you guys... and maybe do a little FREE gaming. Just think, some of the best games this year are going to be free to play!! Object lesson for Origins!! heh heh There'll be more info over on the Origins page.
December 30,2009:Well... I gave the DEADline of the end of the year, and it is here. Noone has really made themselves known besides all the prescription drug spammers, so... as of 5 minutes ago... the Forum has been put to sleep. I might bring it back someday when it appears that we might have more than 3 or 4 spammers who seem to like the board and have a shitload of gmail accounts. When that day comes... the Soapbox may very well rise from the ashes. Until then...
December 10,2009:Alright... so I haven't chopped the Forum. Every time that I get ready to do it, someone drops a post on there that isn't a spam and I wait for them to put another post up there. The good news is that I found the security area and have started banning the shit out of the spammers. All I have to say is that I hate Google!! I wish that they had a little more control over how email accounts were made. Some of the spammer emails look like they had a seizure while typing. Anyways, Ryle has put up another post (golf clap) and I have put a bunch of Space Hulk material into the Resources page. As you can tell, I have definitely gotten a jones for the old Space Hulk!!
September 30,2009:Ok...Ok... so updating this page isn't the first thing I think about when I change something on the site. I know that I should, but it is another step and it is just a pain in the ass. I have a little to catch up on, so here is the quick and dirty of it. I've added a few more Star Wars resources... another fanbook to be exact... I removed the event blogs (they weren't really used that much anyways), and I'm thinking of removing the Forum. Why? Well, the only people that use the Forum are the spammers that dump their crap on it. The way I see it is the only way that we're going to get feedback is either on the Impact Zone or via email. I'll give the Forum until Halloween, and then it gets the axe! Save the Soap Box... if you want it!
April 28,2009:Alright, I've noticed a little increase in people poking around the site, so I put a few more things on the Resource page... including one of those awesome fanbooks for Star Wars D6. Sorry, guys, all of you that play the D20 version... just too much book keeping and it you just aren't going to find any of that stuff here. Not when I can put up stuff from older games that are harder to find and just better...
April 28,2009:I suppose it has been a little over a month since I've made any changes to the site. Huh... gotta figure something out about that. Either way... Mal has sent me a handful of Warhammer links and I have dropped them into the Links page. Yes, I know that I code have made that a link to the page, but you have a button right over there to the left. If I could tell when you are reading this, I'd make it flash, but Web 7.0 with the new and improved mental recognition hasn't gone mainstream yet. Yes, I am finished being a jag-off. lol
March 20, 2009:I've been warning about this... I've set up a blog that all of our GMs can access and submit onto. Yes, not a pretty thought... so many sick minds in one place. Wait... it gets better! This blog... called The Impact Zone... also allows you to write in comments to our posts. Wanna talk bad news... there ya go. Web 2.0 at it's best!! Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about the Resource page. I've just had to finish up a few other things. Plus, it isn't like you guys are bashing down the doors yet. The Forum is still waiting for the guests to arrive and we haven't heard from you via email, so I'm not really in a BIG hurry. I'm going to guess that Origins is what will change things... we'll see. Keep an eye out for the Resource page updates. If I remember, I'll drop a note in here, otherwise the page will just begin to "inflate".
March 9, 2009:Well, I tried to do a couple things with the site today with some Open Source software for content management, but unless you build the site around it... it's friggin' useless... so I set it up myself. I really must say... pain in the ass. Either way, I have the start of the Resource page loaded up. Albeit that it is only a handful of Star Wars d6 files, but it's a start. Since I started up the Resource page, I decided to put a call out for all the best stuff in the Forum/ Soap Box in order to have a top notch page for our people. Afterall, my resources stretch only so far and they come from a lot of other hard working sites!!"
March 4, 2009:If you've ambled thru the site lately, you may have noticed that noone has signed up to be in the forum yet. I don't quite get it, but hey... saves me from having to be in there constantly, I guess. Just makes having the forum seem a little pointless. Oh well, I'll blog you to death and when I tick you off enuff, you go in and yell!! :)
On to a little site news. I have updated the links page. I got rid of a bunch of lame duck links, as well as the Spycraft section. Wait... calm down... I replaced things! Sheesh! There is now a Star Wars D6 (WEG) section and a Top Secret SI section. Go thru them and check out the new candy I got ya!! Your welcome!!
February 10, 2009: As I said, I had to finish a thing or 2 up on the site, but you can access it thru the Soap Box... where I had planned to have it linked up WAYYYY in the beginning. Drop in and say hi, make a couple suggestions, and if you have any questions... fire away!
February 9, 2009: Ok, I promised you a forum and I always aim to deliver. I have to do a couple little things to it, but I will hook up the link to the Opinion page, better known as the Soap Box. I just can't wait to hear some of your feedback! I'll drop a quick flash in here when it is ready to go.
January 16, 2009: Wow... I didn't realize what a pain in the ass this would be. Well, a couple quick site update notes. The Contacts page has been updated with current Origins GMs and Players... and their emails if you would like to contact them (thus the page name). The scenarios blogs have been up and I am trying to get Ryle to put his first entry into Moto's Corner. Hey, not easy for a workaholic to find time to do a little writing. Don't worry... once he gets a taste for it... I should have the Twist's blog up later on today. That is SHOULD... I don't want to promise anything. Oh... before I forget... we are on page 2 of a Google search!!! How's that for being online for a month, huh?
December 9, 2008: I know that this will be old news by the time this is actually up and online, but it will be pretty much the same script with a different date. Welcome to a tight knit community of gamers. Between all of our members, we have played most of the games out there and even a few obscure ones that have never been released!
We were at Origins at the end of June last year, and we had a very successful group of events. We had 3 GM's running 10 events, and if I'm not wrong, the majority of them were sold out. I consider this pretty remarkable, especially with the number of people that didn't show up at the Con last year. We're disappointed that we didn't sell everything out... especially The Twist in Time. This year we have decided to cut back on the number of events that we run. After a little TV meeting, we thought that we need to have a little fun at this up coming Con, and to scout out new blood for the crew. I know... you want the news on the scenarios for this year! Check the Soap Box for more specifics on the different scenarios and the GMs running them. Nothing has been announced as of the moment, but with Early Bird Registration starting the first of the year, you can imagine that they will be coming up quick!!
Until next time...See Ya!!!
