Archive links fixed 

Just as certain R&D biolabs fall empty for decades at a time (when a particularly enterprising mutant creation gets loose), so this blog's archives have been partly broken for about 18 months. The archive links in the sidebar, the bottom right, were correct for posts dated 2007 and earlier. But owing to some boring bug in Blogger's archive auto-generation script, posts from 2008 and later had broken links. The only way to access those months was to insert an additional "p" in front of the "public_html" part of the URL -- to wit, "ppublic" -- and I never mentioned the workaround here because it was so stupid. Now -- still with me? -- I've pulled the auto-archive script and manually inserted good links to all the archived months back to late 2005. I'll have to add another line at the end of each month, so be a good citizen and remind me, hmmm?

Speaking of tasks I've let fester for years, I do hope to finally finally finally get to the .PDF of material cut from WMD, and sooner rather than later. The text of WMD (the 2006 collection of Straight-style PARANOIA missions) is included on the 25th Anniversary CD-ROM in the Black Missions limited edition due later this year, so a new cohort of Gamemasters will join the many wondering what happened to the free .PDF download I referenced repeatedly in the text. Okay, okay. Give a guy a few years of slack, okay? I was busy all that time, wondering how to fix the archive links.

Hi Alan,

This is off topic for this post, but I thought you & your readers might enjoy some Alternate Alpha Complexes I posted over at a friend's gaming blog:

A1. Slave Complex of the Under There

A2. Alpha | State

A3. Alphaville

I guess it's a good thing that there's a new PARANOIA coming out, but I'd be happier about it if I knew you were at the helm.

All best,
Rob MacD.

Woohoo! Is that enough legalese for you? The Computer is Your Friend.
