Nexus 7 Test Post - Chrome Blogger Interface or Blogger App?

I'm beginning to think the Blogger App is a waste of space on my Nexus, as the standard blogger web interface is 10X more useful than the app.

Heck, I can even post a picture of y niece riding a Cat Scratching Post. I can size it, I can move it side to side - I can even place it where i want it on the page.

Yep, the app sucks for Blogger, but the web interface still rocks.

End of test ;)

By way of comparison I'm finding it very difficult to post (to blogger/blogspot pages) and comment using the web interface from my (1st gen) iPad. I've been trying a couple of apps but they don't sync to drafts on the website - its very hard to control image elements. So if it's anything other than a few thoughts "on the go" (as with phones) blogging from a tablet seems more trouble than it's worth. I have a real problem with all of this stuff since it's often more gee-wow-browse-only than actual productivity. Glad to hear the Nexus 7 is working out for you though. :)

Why "Swords & Wizardry?"

Believe me when I say I have them all in dead tree format. I have OSRIC in full size, trade paperback and the Player's Guide. I have LL and the AEC (and somewhere OEC, but I can't find it at the moment). Obviously I have Basic Fantasy RPG. Actually, I have the whole available line in print. Way too much Castles & Crusades. We all know my love for the DCC RPG. I even have Dark Dungeons in print, the Delving Deeper boxed set, Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea. BOTH editions of LotFP's Weird Fantasy and some dead tree copies of the Greyhawk Grognards Adventures Dark & Deep

I am so deep in the OSR when I come up for breath it's for the OSR's cousin, Tunnels & Trolls

So, out of all that, why Swords & Wizardry? Why, when I have been running a AD&D 1e / OSRIC campaign in Rappan Athuk am I using Swords & Wizardry and it's variant, Crypts & Things, for the second campaign? (Actually, now running a S&W Complete campaign, soon to be with multiple groups)

Because the shit works.

It's easy for lapsed gamers to pick up and feel like they haven't lost a step. I can house rule it and it doesn't break. It plays so close to the AD&D of my youth and college years (S&W Complete especially) that it continually surprises me. Just much less rules hopping than I remember. (my God but I can run it nearly without the book)

I grab and pick and steal from just about all OSR and Original resources. They seem to fit into S&W with little fuss. It may be the same with LL and the rest, but for me the ease of use fit's my expectations with S&W.

Even the single saving throw. That took me longer to adjust to, but even that seems like a natural to me now. Don't ask me why, it just does. Maybe it's the simplicity of it. At 45 52, simplicity and flexibility while remaining true to the feel of the original is an OSR hat trick for me ;)
