  • I'm published again! "Tales We'll Tell Tomorrow" is the final chapter in the Shadowrun Street Legends sourcebook. It's a novelette this time and my editor loved my fight scene.

    If you're into Shadowrun, pick up a copy and let me know what you think. It's available in pdf format or print copy off of DriveThruRPG.com and the hard copies will soon be at game stores who thought to order it. Just went on sale at GenCon this last week (and online) and hit #1 on DriveThruRPG's buy list over the weekend.

    I'm psyched! Read it. READ IT!!!! (does the evil eye, subliminal message thingy).

    Well done Brandie. The only real author I know and we still haven't met.

    I think it's hilarious that you think you're not a real author.

    You're writing, aren't you?

    You're getting published, aren't you?

    You're getting paid for both, aren't you?

    If not, you're doing something wrong. If so, then congratulations. That's what authors do. We write the stuff that other people sell. @=)

    I'm psyched! Read it. READ IT!!!! (does the evil eye, subliminal message thingy).

    Congratz Brandie. I have to say it's kind of a personal pride that I know someone who writes for SR. Yeah, I know, it means absolutely nothing for me in reality, call me a bit of a fan boy though. SR and BTech writers... yeaaaahhhh... the chewy goodness of my youth... and some adult life. 🙂

    I will, of course, check it out. :w00t:

    Wonderful. Congratulations. How do you make time to write? I have been writing(Planning to write an article) for a long time and I still havent finished yet.

  • Congratulations Brandie. I know you don't go to a lot of conventions, but I hope to meet you at either a games con, SF/Fantasy con or SQL Server con some day. : -)

    But which is crazier there - the locking hint or the tortuous where clause (getting rid of all those pointless IsNull operations and the ludicrous case statement would give the otimiser a chance to do something with that where clause; with the current awful thing, there's no way the optimiser stands a chance).

    Yes, there's synchronicity - the OP name fits both the hint and the where clause very well.

  • Congratulations, Brandie!
