History and Powers
Julia was a rebellious teenage hacker who enjoyed sabotaging computer systems and causing havoc.  One day she was approached by a mysterious figure calling himself "Gancanagh."  He offered to give her wondrous powers in return for binding herself to him forever.  Julia at first thought this was a hoax, but after an exhibition of Gancanagh's power agreed.  Julia arrogantly believed that, after attaining this power, she would be able to contrive a means of getting out of the pact.  Gancanagh embued Julia's talent with computers and electronics to magical abilities.
Julia, how calling herself Hexidecimal, can frequently be found launching elaborate schemes to increase her techno-magical power or to further her anarchistic tendencies.  On occasion she has teamed up with Mandlebrot, but his own powers often counteract her own.  She has sometimes teamed up with others who have received power from Gancanagh, such as Hysteria.
Eventually, Hexidecimal will conceive of a plan to free her from Gancanagh's pact.  Whether she succeeds will have yet to be seen.

Appearance
As Hexidecimal, Julia tends to wear dramatic, "goth" clothing with bizarre accouterments made of combinations of technology and magical fetishes.

Quote: "Once I've configured this entire network, it will serve as a summoning circle to a demon that I alone shall command!"

 I decided to get my own domain name: strangevistas.org and have been posting there for over a year.  When Adam at Barking Alien mentioned that he wanted me to start blogging again, I realized that he might not know, and that likely others didn't as well. So, now you do.  See you soon!

RPG Review: Far Trek

So, as I mentioned recently, I've got a lot of sentimentality for Star Trek RPG's, and Star Trek in general.  Three actual honest-to-God licensed ones exist in history: FASA's, Last Unicorn Games, and Decipher's.  I own the first two and have heard mixed things about the third. But there are also a lot of non-licensed Star Trek RPG's out there, and recently I saw that one of them, Far Trek , was offering a hard copy for a couple of bucks on Lulu.  Never one to let a deal go by I picked it up and thought I'd give you, gentle readers, my thoughts. Far Trek is a light-hearted, even breezy take on the Star Trek universe, almost exclusively the original series.  There rules incorporate stats, skills, and talents.  There are four stats: Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Charisma, with the stats ranging from about a -2 to a +2, reflecting their modifier on the die roll.  I actually like this mechanic, which I first encountered in True20.  It doesn't ma

Heroes Against Darkness review

For my birthday I picked up a print copy of Heroes Against Darkness  by Justin Halliday .  Why, might you ask, would I spent hard currency on a book that is offered as a .pdf for free? First, I like real books.  I read them better, and can do so in places other than in front of a computer monitor. Second, it's worth it.  Beats me if Halliday makes any money off the sale or not, but I hope he did, because offering this game for free was a very generous gift to the gaming world. Heroes Against Darkness is worth owning. (At least if you are me.  Your mileage may vary.) Heroes Against Darkness  is, by its own admission, a "fantasy heartbreaker," which is the usually derogatory term used by someone's homegrown version of Dungeons & Dragons.  If I had to summarize HAD's genetic heritage, I'd call it an early edition of D&D done using Fourth Edition mechanics.  If that early edition had 11 character classes. HAD has the standard D&D stat layou
