Roleplay Life

It’s Friday and that means Doctor Who is back! It also means I’ll be watching Battlestar Galactica right after that. I’m a fan of the show, and I enjoy it even though they made Boomer a female Cylon, they got rid of the Cylon Raider, took away the Centurions’ voice, and, most tragic of all, they got rid of (sniff) Muffit. The only saving graces are the story, special effects, they kept the Viper, and, most importantly of all, Edward James Olmos plays Adama. I expect him to say to Helo, “It’s too bad she won’t live! But then again, who does?” I still miss that mechanical daggit, though.

First Serenity, now Battlestar Galactica, and they’re going to do Supernatural. They did a good job on the Serenity book, and they did a good job on this one to. Since they’ve done so well on television based games, I hope they can get the license for a Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles RPG. (more…)
