Red Lights and Tickets

[tracker7]

Almost finished with the Spycraft job.  Damn, but I hate writing adventures.  Gimme sourcebook work any day.

Last night saw the first two NFL wild card games.  Seattle walloped the Redskins and Jacksonville darn near threw away their game against the Steelers.  The latter was a very ugly game, but Pittsburgh lost, so I was happy.  Today's games (Tennessee-San Diego and New York Giants-Tampa Bay) are different - I like all the teams involved about the same, but if I had to pick, I'd lean towards the Chargers (for the division) and the Buccaneers (for Jon Gruden and general pirate shtick).

NBC ran a promo for the upcoming Knight Rider movie/pilot.  That is a fine-looking Mustang-derivative.

I finished reading Egyptian Adventures: Hamunaptra yesterday.  I don't know what exactly I was expecting, but this wasn't it.  There was some very good work in there towards throwing in the flavor of mythic Egypt, but ultimately it just felt like a new skin on stock D&D.  Skull & Bones, conversely, has already presented some new ideas to me, and there are a few things I'm going to mine for 7th Sea use.

Haven't mentioned this elsewhere, mainly because I'm trying not to think about it, but my grandmother was hospitalized for a few days last week.  The results of her tests and scans won't be available for a couple more days, but her doctors believe that the aneurysm is expanding.

Now, time for a shave and shower.  Grind out about 1800 words of wacky East African action-adventure.  Watch more playoff games and play lots of Zelda.  Maybe a late show of No Country for Old Men.

Hmm, Hamunaptra sounds like an odd mix of Crocodile Games' Age of Aegyptus and The Mummy. It looks like it could have potential, but then so have many other products.

Funnily enough, it appears that Hamunaptra was actually something far more interesting than what was presented in the movie - and something that might for quite an interesting setting.

I havn't heard anything impressive about Knight Rider yet. Michael Knight's illigetimate kid gets roped into being a detective partnered with some sort of autobot wanna-be? Some no-name soap star as the kid and will arnett as kitt? Must have been one hell of a promo you saw.

I saw a notice for World on Fire's release. Is it any good? I havn't been up to doing much so I havn't taken a look myself.

Been spending my gaming time playing Phantom Hourglass, learning to drum in Rockband, and failing my way through WoW.
