Hoi!

Stagnation @ "The Gibson Institute":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/the-gibson-institute

A little over a year ago I practiced a little recursion and used an OP wiki as a general purpose knowledge wiki instead of a campaign specific one. Then my real life intruded and violently so. My son had high lead levels in his blood, and much of the last year has been giving him treatments and some remedial therapy and so forth. He is fine now, and I had a whim to go through my emails (I use a non-family/business email for things like Obsidian Portal and XBox live and various forums) and I see a ton from things I've missed. I have about 10 featured campaigns to go check up on, and a lot of exploring to do.

I am going to try and make a better effort to be here, but the first priority is real life, so I cannot make any promises.

**That being said**, I have seen a bit of interest in "The Gibson Institute":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/the-gibson-institute and I may have missed a lot of opportunities there as well. I want to promote a few people to co-GM/GM in there so my own issues don't affect the potential in the future, for the purposes of adding people mostly, though pushing for new content never hurts.

If you're interested, post here, tell me why you're a good pick.

    I'm glad he's doing better, Jim, and I hope he stays that way!

    I wouldn't want to throw in for co-GM, but I am definitely willing to mingle what you have there with what I have "here":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/shared-creations. TGI is already listed on my main hub, but any other sharings that warrant the front page would be welcome.

    Hope you get all caught up soon, we miss your voice 'round here.

    Good to hear the kid is getting better.
    I don't think I cut the mustard for co-gm, but I would be very interested in finding out if you are accepting submitted content and how to go about sending it in.

    Always accepting anything, including just adding you as a player so you can add your own things. The Co-GM moniker would mostly be for adding new contributors.

    Jim, I just added a link to the Gibson Institute to Chainsaw's FAQ page, that way it will be a bit more visible to those surfing the forums. Great to see you back man.

    Cheers,

    Sorry to be off-topic, but Arsheesh every time I see your kitten avatar I crack up inside and don't know why. Sometimes I hear a full-on lion's roar, sometimes I hear a little kitten roar. This may be the tired talking.

    Yeah I have the same reaction; I think that's really why I chose it.

    Hi Jim!

    Glad to have you back. Really glad to hear your son is better. I'm pretty AWOL these days with grad school and all, but I try to check in from time to time and I'll have to check out the Gibson Institute occasionally so see if its been updated.

    Happy Gaming!

    I started adding a few poser gangs to the page to try to kick start things. Hopefully the other guys will join in and revive the page. It is a great concept and a needed thing for most cyberpunk/shadowrun players. Conceptual databases are always good to have around for source material.

    I'm debating on just adding all the stuff from my old SR campaign to it too. After my son and an unfortunate accident and work schedules, that games been off for almost a year now.
