We left off last time with the basics of starting a small press firm under way while I pondered just what games this new game company would be producing.
Since we are still time-traveling here as we catch up to current events, please bear in mind that I made these decisions concurrent with establishing the company back in January. It's not as though I founded a game company with no idea what games I'd be publishing, after all.
Before I can think about what, however, I need to think about when. The when may help determine the what. Don't worry, things get clearer shortly.
I know I want to release my first game in time for the summer convention season. Publishers love the summer con season for, among other reasons, direct sales. Direct sales are wonderful because you sell your books for full retail price. And, except for con expenses, you keep it all. Sometimes that means you break even. Sometimes you even bring some money home. Either way, it's better than losing money at a con.
Most publishers sell most of their products to distributors, which means selling at wholesale prices. For most roleplaying game companies - that is, anyone lacking the muscle of Wizards of the Coast or Games Workshop - that's around 40 percent of the suggested retail price. That's right. The publisher gets paid 40 percent of the price stamped on the book. After all, the distributor and retailers have to make money, too. Their cuts have to come from somewhere.
Now, since publishers turn some kind of profit even selling at 40 percent of the cover price - or else they are in the wrong business - you can imagine how happy they are to collect full price through direct sales. So does this mean you should bypass your local game shop to buy all your books from your favorite publisher direct?
Please don't. If I do really well at summer cons and via website sales, I might sell a few hundred copies of my first game direct. I can realistically expect to sell a thousand or more copies through distribution. See the difference? Also, many more people will see my games in their local hobby game shop than will stumble across it on a website somewhere.
But retailers won't order a game if no one's buying it at their stores. And distributors won't buy games that retailers don't order. So it's much better to support your favorite publisher by buying his or her games at your local game store, if you have one.
Now I have my sights set on a release in time for at least part of the summer con season. There are two big national conventions, Origins in July and GenCon in August. The other key con of the year is the Game Manufacturers Association Trade Show, or GTS, in March in Las Vegas, Nev. This is a pros-only show for retailers, distributors and publishers. You don't sell anything there, but you try to catch the eye of the people who will be ordering your games in the future. Then there are various regional conventions, of which I'll attend only the local ones. Unfortunately, most of those take place in the spring, which means I'm unlikely to have my game ready to sell at them.
I know I don't want to release my game at GenCon in August. First of all, that's pretty much the end of the summer con season. If I'm going to hurry up and get a product out this summer, I want to get more out of it than one convention's worth of direct sales. But there are even more important marketing considerations. A lot of games get released at GenCon, including some by companies with much bigger ad budgets than mine. My game could very easily get lost in the crowd at GenCon. Also, most retailers order less product in August. Many of their customers are saving their money to go to GenCon. In fact, many retailers are probably saving their money to go to GenCon, too. I need to maximize orders for my first game, not depress them, so releasing in August is out.
Now another factor comes into play. The biggest distributor in the United States is Alliance. If I want Firefly Games to be a success, I simply must be carried by Alliance. That's all there is to it. Alliance and its sister company, Diamond, which sells to comic shops, put out catalogs. You must begin soliciting orders for your product at least four months before your release date to get into the Alliance and Diamond catalogs.
It's already January. If I work fast, I can have a product far enough along that I can start soliciting in March. Four months out from March puts me at a July release date. If I make it July 1, then I can have the books ready in time to sell direct at Origins and at GenCon. Starting solicitation in March also means I can promote the game at GTS in Las Vegas in late March, putting it in front of the distributors and retailers who will be ordering it a couple of months later.
Between the convention schedule and the requirements from Alliance, I'm pretty much set on July 1 for my publication date. It turns out that, in hindsight, I made a small mistake here. Most publishers set release dates at the end of a month, because many retailers don't order a new game until the month the game is to be released. Setting the release date at the end of a month gives you time to adjust your print run when those johnny-come-lately orders arrive at the beginning of the month. By setting a July 1 release date, I will have to go to print without knowing the exact number of orders I'm going to have. But it's not a disaster; just something I'll do better when I set future release dates. Let's continue with the story.
So, July 1 it is. Working backward from that date, I want to send the book to print in mid- to late May. Printing takes 4-6 weeks, so I want to give myself a little cushion in case something goes wrong. In order to meet a mid-May print date, I need to send the book to layout in late April. It's going to be a small book, so layout won't take too long.
Of course, I need the edited text and interior art before it can go to layout. I'll set a deadline of March 1 for the text, so I know what to promote at GTS, and a deadline of April 1 for the interior art. Again, this leaves me some extra time in case something goes wrong.
Finally, I need a color cover. I want the cover before I start soliciting in March - remember, I still need to convince retailers and distributors that I'm serious about meeting my release date. Having the cover ready before I even announce the product will help show them that I'm on track. Besides, it's much easier to promote a product when you have a cool-looking cover to show off. I'll set a deadline of March 1 for the cover, too. I don't have much wiggle room built into this deadline, but I have to give the artist a reasonable amount of time to do the work. I'll just have to trust the artist to come through for me.
By the way, most publishers (including me) advise that you have your first product, and preferably your first three products, ready to print before you ever even announce your company. If I follow that advice, though, I'll completely miss the summer con season, which means I'd be better off launching the company in spring 2003. It might be wiser, but it's just too far away.
It's going to be hectic to start the company and get a game out by July. But, hey, it's me. I can do this. And I'm not exactly starting from scratch, anyway.
Now I just need a game. I'm not stupid enough to have started a game company without any ideas for games, of course. It's just a matter of picking the right one to do first, then figuring out who to hire to do the writing and art.
I've already narrowed it down to two choices in games. Both meet my basic criteria of appealing to core gamers "plus." As I noted in my first column, one of my goals for Firefly Games is to look beyond the core gamer market to other niche markets, so each of my games will appeal to core gamers plus another group.
The first is a fantasy roleplaying game aimed at children and non-gamers as well as the core gamer market. Other than that, I'm not going to say too much about this one; I'll be producing it in 2003 so I don't want to give too much away too early.
Monster Island: The Game of Giant Monster Combat is based on an idea I first pitched to another game company years ago, but which it never pursued. It's a fighting game inspired by giant monster movies, such as Godzilla, King of the Monsters and King Kong. Players create and play giant monsters, either original creatures or re-creations of classic movie monsters. They can either use foldable cardstock figures that I'll include with the game, or, better yet, toy monsters.
I've been working on the fantasy game in between freelance gigs since fall 2001. But it's shaping up to take more work than I think I can do in time to meet my aggressive production schedule. I don't want to rush this one. One of the reasons I began Firefly Games is to give this game the treatment I think it deserves, so rushing it into print defeats the purpose of starting my own company in the first place. The clincher is that it looks like the fantasy game may turn into a 48- or even 64-page book. I simply have to start off with a smaller, 32-page book. A smaller books means fewer words - freelance writers often are paid by the word - less art, less layout, and smaller print costs.
Monster Island: The Game of Giant Monster Combat isn't written yet, but I know exactly how to write it. I've been kicking the idea around for three or four years, after all. And I know it can be done in 32 pages. Also, demo games using toy monsters are going to be hot! Finally, it's less of a risk than the fantasy rpg. I know most gamers are also giant monster movie fans. In addition, I can pull in monster movie fans who are non-core gamers. I know there are hundreds of Godzilla fan sites on the web, and the fans of these movies are as obsessive about monsters as gamers are about games. So it definitely meets my criteria of appealing to core gamers "plus," probably even more firmly than the fantasy rpg does.
Now it's time to start sorting out what sort of book to make Monster Island. A 32-page book fits my budget and business plan. Fortunately, it also makes good sense for the game. This is a "beer-and-pretzels" game; something fast, fun and a little goofy to break out when someone can't make it to your weekly RPG session. Furthermore, it's a game about giant monsters beating each other up, not a hyper-realistic, historically accurate simulation of a World War II battle. A dense tome of complex rules just doesn't fit the concept. Also, I need to keep the suggested retail price, or price point, below $10. This is an impulse buy, and customers are generally less impulsive when it comes to items costing more than $10. I can price a 32-page book at $9.95 and still make some money, so it works there, too.
Actually, I'd really like to make Monster Island: The Game of Giant Monster Combat a digest-sized or a 6"x9" book. It would be handier while playing, and would also fit the concept of a small, simple game. But that's going to mean less room for rules and text - I want a rules-light game, but probably not that light! Also, retailers generally dislike non-standard books because they are harder to display. If retailers dislike a book, they may not order it. I need all the orders I can get.
I'm going to stick to monster vs. monster fights on Monster Island for this game. Fighting armies and crushing cities will require more rules - see the size and price point decisions earlier. The more complex this game looks, the less of an impulse buy, "beer-and-pretzels" game it becomes. I'll save armies and cities for a follow-up rules expansion, which I'll release in September. Initially I call this sequel book Monster Alert, but when I'm describing the premise to folks at the DunDraCon game convention in San Ramon in February, I realize that Escape from Monster Island is a much better title.
First I have to produce Monster Island: The Game of Giant Monster Combat, though, so let's get back to that.
I am going to use the Action! System rules as the basis for Monster Island: The Game of Giant Monster Combat. They are free, and I helped design the core system so I already have some ideas on how to adapt the rules for monster smackdown action. I've already decided that Firefly Games won't be doing d20 products. I don't have anything against d20. There are a lot of d20 products flooding the market, however, and a lot of new d20 companies. I'd be taking a big risk of being lost in the crowd or dismissed as just another d20 startup if I went this route. In addition, distributors and retailers are being very picky about new d20 products. Overall, as a brand-new company I'd just rather not compete in that arena.
I also know that I want to generate some intellectual property for Firefly Games by building a backstory and some characters - giant monsters -- into Monster Island. One part of my business plan involves using Firefly Games products as IP incubators. The entertainment industry is always on the lookout for new worlds, stories and characters. Creating worlds, stories and characters is most of what we do in the adventure game industry. I can't claim credit for the concept of using your games to build IP for potential future licensing, but it's a strategy I endorse and intend to follow.
So I want to build some IP into all of my products on the off-chance I can swing some licensing deals in the future. For Monster Island, that means creating a backstory about the UN Science Alert Corps protecting humanity by imprisoning dangerous giant creatures on Monster Island. I need to put some pre-generated monsters in the book anyway for people who don't want to take time to create their own, so I'll give the monsters names and histories. It makes the game itself more entertaining for people, plus builds a foundation for potential spinoffs such as a roleplaying game set in the world of Monster Island or possibly even licensing deals. Now, I'll admit that the chances of anyone wanting to make a Monster Island movie or comic book based on my game are almost non-existent, but if the game does well there might be interest in a toy line based on the original monsters from the book, for example.
Finally, I want a color cardstock insert of cut-out monster figures for people to use while playing the game. I'll include rules for playing with toy monsters, which is definitely how I'll do demo games, but I want people to be able to play even if they don't own any toy monsters.
I know what I want from Monster Island: The Game of Giant Monster Combat. But I have a problem. I don't think I'm going to have time to write it myself. I agreed back in December to take a freelance writing contract with Steve Jackson Games, and now I have an April deadline. I'm going to have to hire a freelance writer to do Monster Island for Firefly Games while I go off and work on my own freelancing job. It's bad timing, but I agreed to take the contract and I don't want to leave people in the lurch by backing out at the last minute.
I'll also need to hire a freelance artist to create the color cover, interior illustrations and the figures for the cardstock insert.
I'm going to need some contracts. Contracts are an essential part of the publishing business, small press or not. Most freelancers, quite rightly, insist on them. And contracts are crucial to the publisher, because that's how he obtains the rights to what the freelancer produces. You can't publish what you don't own. Or, it's at least a very bad idea.
I'm going to keep saying this, but it pays to know people. Mark Arsenault of Gold Rush Games sends me some copies of his standard contracts. I just change the names on them to match my company and revise the terms to fit my own desires, and now I have some blank contracts.
So what are my standard terms going to be?
I offer 3 cents per word for freelance writing, though I'll go higher for "name" authors if I can afford it. This is about average for small press companies, as far as I can tell. Some d20 publishers offer a little more because they know they are going to sell a lot more books. Standard terms for Firefly Games are 10% on signing the contract, 25% on acceptance of the draft and the remainder after publication. Like the rate, these terms are changeable depending on the project and the author. If I'm paying more than 3 cents a word, I may have to defer more of the payment until after publication - when I have some income from sales to make those higher payments.
Some publishers pay royalties, generally around 3% of suggested retail price per book sold, instead of flat rates. But this requires a lot of record-keeping and accounting that, as a small operation, I'd prefer not to deal with. Also, my first few books probably are not going to sell well enough to make a royalty worth more to the author than a flat rate.
Flat fee or royalty, this is for all rights to the work. The writing becomes the sole property of Firefly Games. I don't want to have to re-license my own games, characters or settings from the authors later if I want to re-release or re-use them. It's probably not very equitable to the author given the low pay, but it's normal in the industry.
For art, I pay $100 per page of black-and-white interior art. Covers are negotiable with the artist and can range from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand. It will be a while before I'm paying more than $1,000 for a cover, though. This is also fairly standard for small press publishers.
Publishers normally buy first publication rights to artwork. Artists are more reluctant to give up all rights to their work, and they expect more money if they do.
I hire Bruce Harlick to co-author Monster Island: The Game of Giant Monster Combat. He'll write the Filmography I want in the back of the book, and help create the rules. Bruce worked for Hero Games for many years, and is now a freelance author. I know he loves giant monster movies, so he's a perfect choice for the project.
I hire Bryce Nakagawa to do the artwork. Like Bruce, he's a friend who has worked for many game companies, including doing the art for the Brawl: Catfight card game from Cheapass Games. Bryce agrees to do the color cover, interior artwork and art for the monster figures. To save myself some money, I'm going to have Bryce do the figures in black and white line art. I'll have Mark Arsenault color them on the computer in-house.
I shoot contracts to Bruce and Bryce in the mail. I send two signed copies; one they keep, one they sign and return to me for my records. I also exchange emails with Bruce for a few days to generate an outline for his writing. The outline tells Bruce what I expect to see in the book and makes sure we cover all the bases. Of course, he has input into the outline as well. I'm hiring him as much for his ideas as his writing, so ignoring his suggestions would be silly.
Bryce receives his outline in the form of an art list. This is a list of the 16 or so interior illos I want for the book, along with a cover concept. It details the sizes and general description of each illustration. The implementation of each description is up to Bryce. He's the artist, not me, though if I really hate what he's done I can ask him to try again. Here's an excerpt from the art list:
2. An illo of an albino giant gorilla grappling with a winged pterodactyl-like monster on the edge of a cliff. The gorilla is trying unsuccessfully to rip the wings off its foe, while the pterodactyl-like thing chokes the gorilla with its long tail.
Naturally, I also seek Bryce's feedback on the art list. Most of his creative input is going to come out in how he turns my somewhat vague descriptions into the finished illustrations, however.Now that Bruce and Bryce are hard at work on their respective jobs for Monster Island: The Game of Giant Monster Combat, I need to start doing my job - promoting Firefly Games and Monster Island. It's time to go public. But that's another column.

Charles Lane: The best federal tax deduction to chop
What's the least defensible special break in the U.S. tax code? With so many distortions to choose from, it's hard to name just one. If forced to pick, I might say the deduction for state and local taxes, which cost $67 billion in fiscal 2011, according to the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation.
This one overwhelmingly benefits upper-income households in a handful of upper-income states, while rendering the entire nation's finances less transparent. It's also a potential source of friction in the "fiscal cliff" negotiations between President Barack Obama and the Republicans (but we'll get to that in a moment).
Taxpayers have been allowed to deduct state and local income and property taxes since the federal income tax began in 1913. (Sales taxes have at times been deductible, too, but that' s a relatively minor issue.) The theory is it's unfair to make people pay twice for the public services they receive. That's doubtful, though, since, despite some overlap, federal taxes support different services than state and local.
What the deduction does is enable higher-income states and localities to tax - and spend - more than they otherwise would, while shifting some of the cost to other states. It also encourages them to collect revenue in forms that are easier to deduct on federal returns.
Two states, California and New York, reaped almost 30 percent of the deduction's value in 2009, the latest year for which I could find Internal Revenue Service data. Other states that benefit disproportionately include Connecticut, New Jersey, Illinois, Massachusetts and Maryland.
In 2009, 73 percent of the deduction's benefits went to taxpayers with annual incomes above $100,000, according to the Congressional Budget Office; fully 20 percent of the benefits went to taxpayers with annual incomes above $1 million.
Starting to notice a pattern? Basically, what we have is a significant federal tax subsidy for "blue" state governments. These also happen to be the states having the most difficulty living within their means, what with their expensive urban school systems, bloated pension liabilities and all. Yet they have an incentive to close their budget gaps by raising income taxes rather than reining in spending, because the deduction helps them pass the tab to other states, most of them red.
California Gov. Jerry Brown addressed his budget woes through a referendum this year to boost the top income tax rate, just as Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn pushed an income tax rate increase through his Legislature last year.
Now you're beginning to understand how this seemingly innocuous tax break distorts financial flows within and among the 50 states, as well as between the states on the one hand and Washington on the other.
As for negotiations over a "grand bargain" between Obama and the Republican House, the state and local tax deduction complicates that process, too.
The main bone of contention is the federal income tax rate on top earners, currently 35 percent. Obama says it is going to be hard to raise enough revenue without returning that rate to 39.6 percent, the level during Bill Clinton's presidency.
Republicans insist that eliminating deductions and tax breaks could bring in more revenue without raising rates - while getting most of the money from the wealthy, just as the President wants to do.
In fact, the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan Washington think tank, has shown that eliminating all itemized deductions while cutting rates 20 percent across the board and eliminating the alternative minimum tax would raise $1.9 trillion over 10 years.
Of course, not even the Republicans are proposing such a sweeping reform, which would certainly make the tax code more efficient - but also wipe out breaks for charitable giving and mortgage interest that enjoy wide red-state support, too. And the President himself has suggested limiting deductions in combination with rate increases, perhaps by capping the rate at which deductions may be claimed.
But because its impact is so heavily concentrated in blue states, the state and local deduction creates an asymmetry: Democrats have an extra reason to insist on raising rates, and Republicans have an extra incentive to demand loophole-cutting. Perhaps it's just coincidence, but I have noticed that those most skeptical of the loophole-closing approach include Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
So let's all say a post-Thanksgiving prayer for a successful negotiation - and remember that even a very grand bargain would still leave our state and federal tax and budget systems in need of major reform.

Guest column: Unions versus Ohio Issue 2
10/19/11 at 12:01am by rmaloney | Comments
Issue 2 (Senate Bill 5) is about government taxpayer-funded unions only, not private unions. It asks them to pay a little more on their pensions and health care, while retaining bargaining rights and keeping safety regulations for all. So why was Issue 2 generated? S.B. 5 (Issue 2) was designed to rein in costs of […]

Here's a paradox for you. America is on the verge of a double-dip recession. Unemployment is at the highest levels since the Great Depression. Our global repute is plummeting. 81 percent of Americans are not satisfied with the governance of the country (Gallup, September). 73 percent of Americans think the country is headed in the […]

|This book a no nonsense approach to learning the key points of Objective-C and iOS at the speed of light. It is a fast paced sprint through tons of hands on examples.
The books starts off with a nice introduction to Xcode by building a small twitter application using the new iOS 6 Social framework. The twitter application is used as the example in the first 3 chapters and then the rest of the book builds a recipe application.
I have listed the chapters below to give you an idea of the topics covered throughout the book.
Tweetings, and Welcome to iOS 6
Programming for iOS
Asynchronicity and Concurrency
View Controllers
Table Views
Storyboards and Container Controllers
Documents and iCloud
Drawing and Animating
Testing and Fixing Apps
The App Store and Beyond
Wait! I Forgot (Or Never Learned) C!
To me this is not a reference book, but rather a great cover to cover read. There are a lot of books that I don't get far with that are hands on building of an application from start to finish, but this one really kept my interest. The applications being built are at the perfect level of complexity to introduce a ton of topics, but do not bog you down with a bunch of domain knowledge. I hate the books like this that spend 50% of the book explaining the non-technical what and why of what you're building.
I found the chapter on storyboards very cool. The authors take the recipe application built using a pre-iOS mindset using nibs up to this point in the book, and converts it to a storyboard application. They reuse all the view controllers built so far. This is a great chapter for showing the power of the MVC pattern used throughout iOS development.
The chapter on Documents and iCloud does a great job of introducing persistence by implementing the NSCoding protocol. There is no Core Data coverage in this chapter or the rest of the book. I also could not get the iCloud samples from this chapter to run, but I did not spend much time on trying to get it to work.
The chapter on testing provides a nice introduction to unit testing, debugging, and performance testing using Instruments.
I think a reader should have some experience with C or Objective-C before reading this book. Like I said above the authors have a very no-nonsense approach. But I would recommend a little more experience than what the author's put into the Wait! I Forgot (Or Never Learned) C! appendix. C in 7 pages is a bit to no-nonsense!
Over all I found the book a really enjoyable read. I definitely recommend it to anyone that wants to learn iOS through a hands on experience. This book will give you a great foundation to start building on.

text: Franco-Swiss philosopher and writer. Born on 28 June 1712 in Geneva, Switzerland; died on 2 July 1778 in Ermenonville, France. His childhood was neglected, and at the age of 16 he ran away and began those wanderings which are characteristic of his life. At Annecy he was received by Mme. de Warens, who sent him to Turin, where he became a Catholic. After visiting Lyons, Freiburg, Geneva, Berne, and Paris, he returned to Mme. de Warens's home, "Les Charmettes," where he stayed about six years. He went again to Lyons as private tutor, then to Paris, where he met Diderot and the Encyclopedists. Having spent a year in Vellice as secretary to the French ambassador, he came back to Paris, wrote music, and began his liaison with Therese le Vasseur, a barmaid, by whom he had five children, consigning all of them to a foundling asylum. Later he retired to a cottage in the forest of Montmorency, as the guest of Mme. d'Epinay. Obliged to hide after the publication of , he sought refuge in Switzerland, in England, and in Paris, everywhere obsessed by the delusion of persecution. Finally M. de Girardin offered him shelter at his Chateau of Ermenonyille, where he died. His chief works are: , in which he, assails reason and science; the , in which he develops his favorite theory that man is by nature good and virtuous but is depraved by society; the , which became the gospel of the Revolution; , in which he develops his theories on education, and which contains, alongside of some excellent ideas, many utopian views and very grave errors; the , a novel in which he preaches a return to the natural state; and the famous , in which imagination plays such a part that they are unreliable as an autobiography. The influence of Rousseau has been enormous in philosophy, in politics, in religion, and in literature. He paved the way for the Romantic School and the lyricism of the 19th century, prepared the revival of religious sentiment, and created a new literary style by which he is the forerunner of Chateaubriand and Lamartine. He was also the creator of a new false philosophy which he calls , and proclaimed the sacredness of sensual passion; he, the apostle of natural religion, was the enemy of all positive religion, and is responsible for some of the most dangerous social and political errors of the present time.New Catholic Dictionary

C-Reactive Protein: Differences Among Various Assays
MedSun: Newsletter #2, March 2006
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has acknowledged possible confusion in the laboratory community and among clinicians and manufacturers as to the indications for use of different C-reactive protein (CRP) assays. As the agency responsible for approving device labeling (including package insert specifications), FDA requires appropriate evidence to support each clinical purpose assigned to assays. Differences between conventional CRP, high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP), and cardiac CRP (cCRP) assays must be understood in order to meet the regulatory need to designate a CRP assay specifically for cardiovascular risk indications for use.

We put these stickers around home, by the front door, outside of the bathroom, and on the wall next to beds for making dua before sleep and waking up. A great way to remember to make duas throughout the day and learn them through regular use. The stickers are beautiful, masha'Allah, and can even be tacked or taped in place if you do not want to apply a sticker to your wall.

I got this camera for my birthday and since then I've never left the house without it.
I've taken it on holiday, to sport competitions and to botanic gardens and its taken perfect pictures at every event.
Its 28mm lens with makes it easy to take pictures of lots of people or of wide landscapes easily and the 8x optical zoom lets you get nice close ups too. When using the optical zoom you get pictures of 14 megapixles. To go beyond the 8x optical zoom, you get a digital zoom which brings you to an overall zoom of almost 17x. Sadly, using the digital zoom does limit the number of megapixles you get, it goes down to 3 megapixles or less.
One of the cool features the camera has is what I like to call "drunk mode". Its actually called Intelligent Auto (iA). iA mode has an auto stabiliser so you don't end up with with blurry photos from your hand shaking, a face detector to pick out focus points, subject movement detection and scene picker. The scene picker is very handy especially if you're not sure what kind of scene to use and don't want to have to spend loads of time picking the right scene before taking the picture. It can even detect sunset which is awesome!
I would link to a sample pic but you're not allowed to :(
The 3inch touch screen makes the camera really easy to use. When you're taking a photo, you can tap on the part you want to focus on and the camera will focus on that section of the picture. Doing this also automatically sets the exposure of the camera to use to get the best photo of the subject you have chosen.
The screen also adjusts its brightness depending on the ambient light.
The camera can also record HD video at 30fps in JPEG format and the video is still nice and clear even in low light levels.
The camera is really nice and easy to use. With an actual on/off switch rather than a button it doesn't tend to get turned on if its in a bag so you don't have to worry about the battery running down without you knowing about it. The battery is very good at keeping its charge, I took it on a week long holiday to Germany and used it every single day and it never needed charged up. The zoom switch is pretty sensitive so it can suddenly jump in and out if you're not paying attention!
On the screen side of the camera, there are 4 buttons and a switch to swap between taking pictures and viewing the pictures you've already taken. All the buttons are clearly labelled and pretty much do what they say on the tin.
Display turns on/off the extra info you see on the LCD screen (grid lines etc), menu takes you to the menu, QMenu takes you to a screen where you can turn on/off things like the flash and the timer. Mode takes you to a screen where you can select the mode that the camera is in to take the picture.
I've got a 4Gb memory card in the camera and I've never filled it yet, even when taking over 200 photos in a day! Its really easy to swap memory cards over too, you just open a little flap at the bottom of the camera and you can clearly see how to take the old card out and put a new one in.
There's also a flap on the right hand side of the camera (as you look at the back) that hides a mini USB port for removing the pictures from the camera with the correct cable.
Charging the battery is really easy too, while the battery is charging in its charger, a green light is on, when its charged, the green light goes off. So simple!
The DMC-FS33 features a 28mm wide-angle 8x optical zoom Lumix DC VARIO lens. The 28mm wide-angle lens lets you easily capture large groups of people indoors or expansive architectural structures and scenes with dynamic width and rich perspective. The 8x optical zoom lens captures beautiful shots of people or landscapes with 14.1-megapixel resolution.
In iA (Intelligent Auto) mode, 4 detection functions work automatically and simultaneously to optimize your settings, making it easier than ever to take beautiful photos every time.
The DMC-FS33 incorporates a 3.0-inch, 230,000-dot touch-screen interface. While shooting, auto focus and exposure can be set by simply touching the subject at that part to activate the AF/AE. While playing back, you can quickly select an image to view by scrolling images. The DMC-FS33 also features intelligent LCD. It automatically adjusts the brightness in 11 steps according to shooting conditions. This LCD provides sharp, clear images in virtually all shooting situations, ranging from nighttime to bright daylight scenes.
To realize the sonic speed AF, a number of re-engineering and improvements are made including the adaptation of higher-speed actuator, the optimization of algorithms and the parallelization of software processing element. The result is ultra high speed yet accurate AF performance for you to enjoy the airy shooting that has experienced never before. Panasonic also replaced its linear program processing with parallel processing to achieve an ultra high-speed start-up time.
The DMC-FS33 can record motion pictures in high-definition. The pixel mixed readout method enables bright motion-picture recording even in low-light settings.

I'll be creating magical Pylons to help with the city's drider population :)
Drow cure of a headache.
Nice pic by MuluC85 on deviantart.net
I really like the attention to even the lore
This is my version of a drider :)
I have an idea of how the driders within the city will work RP wise.
Got an idea of a drow mage creating artifact pylons that dominate the driders into doing the will of the Yath and protecting the limits of the city.
Maybe I'll name them something like Pylons of Morkadie or something off the wall :)
Hhmm… maybe we'll have to staple his nuts to the ground? :)

Well I can't wait to get this game. I am not a fan of 4th edition, and I will never spend a penny on any books by wizards of the coast. However Neverwinter is a free game and also it comes with a toolset type thingy similiar with NWN1 & NWN2, however when you build a map it makes it so others have access to it.
Since I have a thing for the Underdark that will really be all I will be mapping.

Before S.H.Figuarts, I started customizing other figures and toys. Here are some examples of those pieces. The first four photos are of the Super Legends figures that were released in the US. The next photo is of SHS vinyl figures converted into action figures using Sotai-kun bodies (I still have a ton of these >.<). The X1 Mask key was a special request by a friend as well as the DekaBright throttle. The fire version of the Uhzaphone was just something I had to do since BoJ never came out with one that was accurate.
Still undecided on the next set of Figuarts, leaning towards Dairanger.
