Going Rogue
Well, I'm back from mandatory Disney vacation.
Even though I'm getting over a cold, things are good and I've got so much awesomeness planned for Girls Gone Rogue that it's insane! My latest creation - a random table for coming up with "banter" on the fly.
While in Florida, I sent myself 2 or 3 texts a day. Those text messages contained notes for random tables, scenario seeds, and all kinds of stuff.
Last year, I took my oldest daughter to see Captain EO, a short science-fantasy film starring Michael Jackson, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, and executive produced by George Lucas. I got to see it when it came out way back in 1986 and then again in early 2015. From that list of names, one might think that this film could very well be the most impressive thing ever. It's not. Interesting, kind of cool, and nostalgia-inducing... but not really over-the-top epic.
We were all going to go again, but discovered that Captain EO was gone. In its place was a Pixar short film "festival". After some digging, I found out that Captain EO was removed from Disney World's Epcot theme park back in 1996, but was brought back for a limited engagement after Michael Jackson's death.
What's going to happen to Captain EO now? I'm not sure, but one of the many Disney employees shepherding us to and fro tried to reassure me that, "It's on YouTube."
Long story short, I'm going to throw some Captain EO stuff into my latest kickstarter campaign: Girls Gone Rogue.
Since we've hit our first and second stretch goals, to the right is a teaser of the new starship Glynn of +MonkeyBlood Design is creating.
Recently, I read a blog post featuring quickdraw / gunfighting rules. I liked the idea, but didn't care for the execution, personally... just a matter of aesthetics. Being a fan of spaghetti westerns, I'll be including some of that.
Plus, there have been so many excellent suggestions made over at the Crimson Dragon Slayer & Alpha Blue g+ community (please join!). I'm going to modify and include as much as I can.
I suppose that's it for now. I'll be posting more stuff soon...
