Well, for those who are keen viewers of the right hand side of the screen, you'll have noticed the addition of the "Staff" panel, which has two names on it.
        Basically what I'm trying to say is that it's my very great pleasure to announce that HellStormer, who has been producing so many magnificent additions to the site lately is now the Co-Administrator of the site.
        When I relaunched RPGGamer.org, my job was stable and had been for a while, and my kids had gotten out of the extremely needy phase of their lives so I thought I'd be able to start doing updates to the site. I've never been great at time management, but I decided to make a go of it, and planned my time, putting aside a couple of hours each week (supposedly a Tuesday night) to work on RPGGamer.org. However, life is never straightforwards, there have been some tough times over the last year, with both of my parents being treated for cancers, changes in my working life which involves longer days, etc, etc. And always the first to give is my non-demanding hobby (although playing RPG's is also a hobby, the guys I game with would complain if I started skipping a lot of games). The updates to RPGGamer slip by, and nothing demands attention about them, which isn't what the site deserves.
        So, I thought that asking someone to take on some of the burden of the site, and instantly the person who'd been doing far more to keeping the site going than I had been doing lately, HellStormer, sprang to mind. I asked, and very kindly he's agreed to come on board and help around.
        Now, this isn't going to be a dramatic change, and I'm not going away (actually, I'm hoping that my sense of rivalry will force me to do more and better work rather than see someone else making a better show of running my site than I've ever done). HellStormer will be making his own additions to the site, keeping an eye on things to make sure that spam doesn't overflow and mess the place up too much, and we're going to do our best to keep the site going onto bigger and better things.
        Anyway, enough from me, I'll shut up, and I'm sure HellStormer will introduce himself at some point once he's comfortable with the site's admin menu.

        I wanted to do this with a bit more fanfare, and an editorial, but time as always is against me. Which is ironic since this is the start of a bunch of stats I'm going to be doing based on the time travel SF show, Doctor Who. Today I present a selection of Daleks, including the Imperial Special Weapons Dalek and based on a home built one I found on the internet, Time War Era "Storm" Special Weapons Dalek, which I've added to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.
        The Daleks are the most famous villains of the series, a human-like species mutated and modifed to the point where they are little more than blobs. These blobs are then implanted into (it is suggested that they are cybernetically connected to) sets of armour which is little more than small tanks. For a species of mutants it is ironic that, the Daleks are xenophobic purists, hating anything which isn't a Dalek (and in some cases hating some things which are Daleks, just different Daleks), and set out to destroy everything in the Universe which isn't them.
        In Star Wars the Daleks could be used as a threat as large or small as required, depending on when in the Daleks history they were encountered. Early on, they occupy their planet Skaro, and could be a challenge to a group of Rebels looking for a safe haven planet. Later in the Dalek History, they could be a credible threat to the entire galaxy, causing the Imperial Remnant to aid the New Republic as the Daleks "exterminate" the populations of entire worlds without mercy.
        Anyway, enough of my ranting, I'll try to continue in this theme and do a selection of Doctor Who based stats (Cybermen, Sontarans, Time Lords, Tardis, etc), and I've also been asked for a bunch more stats based on British SF, which I'll be only too happy to do when time permits.

        Today I've got the pleasure of presenting more of Hellstormers damn fine Macross conversions, and have added ZAFT UWMF/S-1 GINN WASP Type, ZAFT UMF-4A GOOhN and ZAFT ZnO to the Star Wars D/6 Starships Section of the site. This continues the incredible work he's been doing, which obviously comes from his love of the source material.

        Well an update based on a request submitted to the site. We were asked if we could do stats for the Angel Interceptor, and the SPV from Captain Scarlet. We'll not only have I done those, but I did the updated versions from the 2005 CGI series, the White Falcon and the Rhino. So today I've added SPECTRUM Angel Interceptor, SPECTRUM White Falcon ATF (Advanced Tactical Fighter), S.P.V (Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle), SPECTRUM Rhino TRU (Tactical Response Unit) to the Star Wars D/6 Vehicles Section of the site.
        I should be back tomorrow, with our regular update.
