A World Without Heroes

Snow and ice this morning, and a great many schools are closed, and a good number of accidents are reported in the city this morning.  I am not especially looking forward to the drive to work in a couple of hours.  At least I don't have to drive during rush hour, huh?

Yesterday held an extra treat.  I got to have lunch with my dad.  He had a shipment to deliver in Nicholasville, and since I was off work for MLK Day, I drove down to meet him.  Got to see part of the Alltech facility, then played "Where's This Road Go" for a little while.

Green Ronin announced more cool stuff for Mutants & Masterminds.  First up was a reminder of the Wild Cards campaign setting material.  Also in the pipe are a couple of big-time works for using M&M in not-quite-supers games.  Tentative titles are Wizards & Warriors and Mecha & Manga.  Looks like everybody's lining up to take potshots at D&D4 ... although a certain company should hold off on that fray and get out the crime noir book instead.

After the Traveller fizzle, I think I'm going to try running a short Legend of the Five Rings game.

Sense of Purpose

Son-of-a-bitch.  Heath Ledger died today.  There went a whole lot of potential.

Have started listening to the Sons of Kryos podcast during the evening's treadmill time.  I rather like this.
