XDM Arrived But You Can't Have It Yet
Nine pallets of XDM arrived at the Tayler House today. You can't have yours yet, though, because Tracy and Curtis won't be back in town to sign pre-orders until next week. In order to only stock for immediate demand we needed to shift six of these pallets off to our warehousing facility. This meant getting on the Schlock Hotline and calling Jon Krupp, who generously donates a forklift and a truck every time big things need to be moved. In the spirit of X-treme Dungeon Mastery he brought an X-treme truck. I had never seen one of these before, and I had my doubts. 
Here's a link to the full photo-stream of XDM X-treme Pallet Shifting, including several shots of that lifting operation in progress. I confess... I'm far more nervous around this kind of heavy machinery than I am around firearms. Somebody needs to point a firearm at you to kill you with it, but heavy machinery has a mind of its own. I'm pretty sure there's a comic gestating at the end of that last paragraph somewhere. Speaking of comics, here's one last freebie from within the covers of XDM: X-Treme Dungeon Mastery. It's in a chapter about describing the effects of magic... 
If you didn't laugh, that's okay. You probably lack the reference frame. If you did laugh, you really need to buy the book.
