RE: Marie Curie was never my role model

A friend of mine wrote this article, so I thought I'd repost it so more people see it.

As a father of two little girls, I'm understandably interested in my girls growing up to be whatever they want.  I feel like I must be doing at least an alright job, seeing as how my 3 yr old likes watching Spider Man as much as Dora (she, like me, prefers the Spider-Man series from 1994 over other runs).

Anyway....

New Ships, Part 1 (8-27-13)

Here are some pics of the latest ships I've finished.  Enjoy.

An "Imperial-style" Dreadnaught and Strike Cruiser.  The Strike Cruiser is another mis-molded ship that I fixed up from here.

As the session opens, the party is still riding out a duststorm within a warehouse in Outpost Three.  Zombie elves had just smashed their way through the front door and been defeated.  Now there is a worrisome banging coming from the trapdoor in the ceiling.

We rejoin our group on the morning of their second day under siege at Outpost Three.  While manning the walls during the morning watch, the group is approached by caravan master Laalarash.  Laalarash is touring the walls to bolster morale.  After a brief conversation, the caravan master suggests sending the party out as a strike force to harry the elves.
