Colonel's Desk - First Colonel's Desk

Hello again The People That I Pretend Read This,

This is my first true general post.  Tonight I suppose I shall explain the name here. 

No, I'm not in the military, not is this a military-centric, or even truly military related blog, unless you count any mad natterings about tanks and guns and the best way to conquer freaks.  That said, I am also very much not anti-military in any way.  I do support our men and women in uniform, and the only reason I didn't join the family tradition of jumping out of airplanes is that they didn't want me for medical reasons (damn you faulty lungs).

The reason for the name is simply that 90% of my scribblings from my tender years was about Colonel Wulfe Luer, planeswalking asskicker and his merry band of societal leavings and health hazards.  The whole concept of the character has been so ingrained into my brain that Colonel X Y of the Z is the first thing that pops into my head whenever I'm cooking something up for a new setting, and Wulfe Luer is the first thing to be tried when I'm naming a character in a video game.  This is pretty much an evolution of my weird weird psyche trying to express itself, so please just play along.  Or not; in that case I'll so suck my thumb and play Diablo III in that corner over there.

Speaking of which, if you like RPGs with hack'n'slash elements, go play that game.  You can play a friggin' Mordheim character that slays demons with ninja stars, crossbows, grenades, and a sentry gun.  And that's one class out of five (soon to be six).

Thanks for reading!
