Holiday is Over, back to Work
Hope everyone had decent and safe winter holidays. All 5 of you that read this.
So.. back at work after about 2 weeks off (6 days of holiday, 4 days of working from home + weekends). Lets see.. what have I been up to?
Purchased the basics for playing D&D Miniatures. It looks interesting / quick / fun and could become a new hobby / obsession if I have anyone to play with.
In that light (and for another project), Ive been looking for software that will facilitate playing both D&D Minis and "regular" D&D online. What Ive found so far is a program called Vassal. It is attempting to provide a basic framework for playing any board game online (Dice rolling, grid for movement, etc). Im going to be looking at it more closely and seeing if theres anything better for simulating regular PnP D&D (Pen and Paper).
Saw Oceans 12. It was pretty good. Nothing earth shattering. The con / job wasnt as interesting to me as the first one.. but hey, what do you expect in this day and age. Movies have been going downhill (or Ive been getting old). Did see the Batman Begins trailer. That looks like a fun romp and gives me something to look forward to.
Other than that, trying to relax and have a good time with life. 2005 kinda has to be better than 2004. Anyone have any good picks for this years dead pool?
