A) Saw episode 5 of No Heroics. The hackneyed "guy goes to a support group and makes fun of everyone else there" bit gets pulled out with Timebomb. She Force has a secret identity that she uses to keep from getting lonely, and apparently Norse Dave was in the Falklands war with Electroclash's dad and Excelsor, which makes me wonder, how fucking old is Excelsor? Electroclash is apparently not just obnoxious, but emotionally stunted and still rebelling against her parents.

God, I think it was actually worse than last week's Heroes.

B) You can buy Spelljammer from RPG.now for $5. Holy cow. I totally want to get that boxed set, some more 4E books (I'm coasting on the PH right now) and just run a campaign of that.

I always loved Spelljammer's concept. The fucked up physics. Phlogiston. Crystal spheres. Space hippo mercenaries. Giant Space Hamsters.

It got to be a mess (as many things do when they continue to be ground out) but the core is gonzo and neat.

And my best friend in the world is my codeine syrup. Oh, man, I'm gonna sleep well tonight. Shit. "Do not drink alcoholic beverages." Just a beer with dinner should be fine, eh? That was three hours ago.

If I die in the night, tell my wife I love her! And play Spelljammer in memorium.

edit: I mean, seriously, read this and tell me you don't wanna play:

Multitudes of worlds wheel through Wildspace. The crystal shells that encase them bob and drift in a turbulent, rainbow ocean which fills all the cosmos. Sturdy merchants, bold pirates, and daring explorers venture into the great, unknown vastness of the universe, seeking wealth and adventure. The SPELLJAMMER Game puts you in command of a fantastic ship capable of spanning the tremendous distances between planets. Graceful elven flitters, stately illithid galleys, deadly beholder tyrants, and the awesome Spelljammer itself carry trade, emissaries, and heroic action throughout all the worlds of the AD&D game.

I think Beholders and mind flayers are jsut stupid powerful in 4E now, aren't they?
