The Return of the USFL

No kidding. The website is here.

So far, negotiations for the teams is part-way finished. They are looking to have a 16 game season with no preseason. They are also incorporating a few changes similar to Canadian Football. Three point PAT from the 10 yard line, 4 point FGs from beyond 55 yards. No touchbacks or kneel downs.

Of more interest is an ability to ask the commissioner a question. I asked this morning about the availability of the old USFL stats. I suggested that publishing those stats in detail would be something that could add interest to the new league.

What I did not say is that the few of us that enjoy football board games could make teams for the various games. I doubt that Paydirt teams could be created, but maybe STATS has play by play information from the old USFL. (who knows?)

Keep an eye out for 2010. The new USFL is coming. Hooray!

More to come, just needed to write it down.

Microlite20 has a new domain. This is a great project that is an incredible resource for preserving all the old sourcebooks you may have. Microlite20 is the inspiration for MUSE, which I hope to publish in wiki form, soon. Unlike Microlite20, there's a dearth of Action! System information to use, especially a bestiary. I'm working on it, really!

Also taking part of the Odyssey Authors Project. I presented an original idea and two story threads from my old prairiecomber site.

My friend SpiritualTramp is big into podcasting. He has five episodes of his series Archangel written so far.

I would like to do it, but we'll see. For now, it is easier to write instead of speak.

Updates

I've updated the site with an upgrade to WordPress 2.5.1.

I've also changed a few other things:

For example, I host Action! System files, but I have begun work on a revised version called Mnemosyne. This has also created a 10 page quick play system called MUSE - Magic Using Simple Expressions.

I've also planned on publishing Knock, a Craits variant, featuring an expandable deck. Thanks to the Guild of Blades, I hope to create beta cards in May 2008. When they are finished, the PDFs will be posted on the site.

I'm playing to two Statis-Pro Football league and host one of the sites. I hope to enjoy playing an old favorite once again. Game time: Fridays or Sundays, just call.
