Happy Holidays from Skirmisher!

Skirmisher would like to wish all of its friends and readers Happy Holidays! No, we're not being "Scrooges" by saying "holidays" instead of "Christmas," we just know that is not the only holiday celebrated this time of year. So, Merry Christmas, Super Saturnalia, Happy Yule, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Festive Kwanza, Terrific Zarathosht Diso, Belated Bodhi Day, Bountiful Boxing Day, Cheery Needfest, Idyllic Eid al-Adha, Warm Advent, Cool Childermas, Hangover-Free Gantan-Sai, and Happy Holidays overall, as well as "festivus for the rest of us," Happy New Year, and wonderful 2010! Happy Birthday, Mithra! Party on, Bacchites, pass the vino! Woohoo Sekhmet, you go girl! Sol Invictus! Best wishes to followers of Isis, Mithra, Nodens, Hermes, Baldur, Apollo, Rama, Telchur, the various “New World” deities, and assorted other cults and groupings. And we're pretty sure that star has something to do with the Yellow Sign ...

Apologies to any others that have been overlooked; feel free to let us know if there is a favorite sect you would like mentioned here.

Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!

Ask the Rules Lawyer!

Have a question about a particular game or gaming in general? Then ask the rules lawyer! d-Infinity Legal Counsel/Wartime Consiglieri Jonathan B. Reichman, Esq., has got the answers -- although they might not always be the ones you are hoping to hear. Rules, etiquette, protocol, it's all fair game.

You may have heard that there is no such thing as a stupid question ... Well, we all know that's not true! But we'll be sure to let you whether or not yours is and will give you an answer that is definitely smart.

Just post your questions in a comment here, on the online supplement to the d-Infinity quarterly gaming publication, or on the d-Infinity Facebook page, or email them to us at webmaster@skirmisher.com. Particularly good questions may also appear in an upcoming print edition of d-Infinity!

Hello Children! Welcome back to Galaxy News Radio... with your host... Three-Dog!

Well we've all been hearing a lot of talk about the Republic of Dave. From what I hear, an increasing Deathclaw infestation out of Old Olney uprooted Dave from his old homestead and this self-proclaimed head-of-state is looking for new followers and a new place to call... well... I guess call the Republic of Dave. All I know is that the central Capital Wastes are a pretty dangerous spot and I hope Dave has some serious fire-power to back him up or I think the Republic of Dave is going to see more armies storming back and forth across it than Poland.

I know a lot of us have been getting worried about those Slavers out of Paradise Falls. But the Three-Dog is here to help shed a little light on that gloom and doom. The Regulators have upped their presence in the Central Wastelands and I hear that they are establishing an outpost out of the MDPL-11 Power Plant. Believe they have a couple merchants that have set up shop down there as well so it looks like the long arm of the Law in the Wasteland is helping to do its part to bring some stability to our lives.

Little public service announcement people... in order to help the Wasteland Census and make sure there is ample food and missions for everybody... I can't stress just how important it is to pre-register. And that just doesn't mean posting on a forum that you and those mangy shooters you call your posse are coming... but actually pre-register online and pay for your admission. Lunch counts, staffing and mission planning is all driven by pre-registration. It'll save you some pre-war money... but it's an important courtesy for both Waynes World and MGP... your gracious hosts of this little apocalyptic blight we call the Capital Wastes.

In the meantime... get to repairing your wasteland outfits and armor... make sure those weapons are working and be sure to look around your own personal homestead for any pre-war relics you can't live without... but that you think our wasteland merchants may want to buy from you.

And now... a little music... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsxJmzkX63c&feature=related

IMPORTANT! The Wasteland series of events have lots of action but are NOT traditional MilSim games. Strict uniform/costume restrictions will be in effect to recreate the setting of the game. Please read the Survival Guide (Players Pack) and review the forums for more information on factions and uniforms allowed at this event.
