thebitterguyHome for a rest. Feeling better (at least alive). The trip was shit-tastic (redeye in coach? Why not!) but I had a few hours rest in my own bed, which was nice. Got to watch some of the extras of the Incredibles DVD w/ Snra before collapsing.
I've also got a couple personal observations on GTS. If there was any
doubt, Margaret Weis has confirmed they're releasing the Serenity RPG
at GenCon for the Firefly movie. Two games caught my eye from
independent game producers: Dawning Star from Blue Devil Games is a
d20 Modern/Future supplement, and the first one I've seen so far.
It's got a bit of a Blue Planet feel about it (SF setting with
mysteries to solve, etc) and is a great read so far. Expect a review
shortly.
In the prototype stage is a card/board game from Seaborn Games
(http://www.seaborngames.com/). Combining elements from Clue and
Cosmic Encounter, you play an adventurer building a Hunting Party to
pursue the Shadow by fulfilling a prophecy, discovering its weaknesses
and combating its minions to earn gold.
It's loads of fun, with a few dozen disparate characters (and plans
for more) and it works for all skill levels of players; there are even
cards to benefit weaker players and handicap stronger ones. Due for
release in October, once art is completed. Great family game produced
by Patrick & Ben Christenson, two brothers from Texas.
Vanilla Ice is in a Matrix parody. God, has the horrid parade of inferior film parodies not ceased yet? Sturgeons Law + 10%.
And Mr. Spock is following up his book of Jewish Erotica with Fat Bottomed Girls.
