I Love Spelljammer But…

this is hard to watch.

Wildspace the live action sounds too close to my high school group's Spelljammer campaign.

Really, I keep telling myself that I couldn't possibly sound that way. The best I can manage is that I tried to avoid the sports announcer voice...

sometimes.

Hopefully a more useful post tomorrow.

Delphinus Formicas

Earlier today, my son told me about a creature he calls the ant-dolphin. It is a type of ant that feeds by transforming into a dolphin and eating fish. At night, it returns to ant form to sleep in an ant hill with the rest of the colony. I asked him if the ant changed into a regular-sized dolphin and he said yes.

I'm losing my current bout with insomnia, so stating it has proven difficult. However, as odd as it may sound, it seems to work in a way given the group survival instincts of both species.

I didn't ask whether or not the ants were normal-sized, but I'm going to go with a larger-sized ant, approximately half the size of a common dolphin.

I imagine either an island or a near-tropical oceanfront locale with twenty foot towers near the water's edge. The ants have tunnels underground inside their nest that lead to the water to ease transformation. In general, they are friendly to humans that live nearby, but prefer to interact with them in dolphin form instead of ant form.

Combine them with a city of merfolk and a local group of humans/good humanoids and you have two cultures bound together by their domesticated animals.

Hmmmm. Hopefully there will be more later on this.

Great Folks Still Playing Statis-Pro Football

The UK Statis-Pro Footbal League is still going strong. I briefly joined, but it was ill-advised timing for me. My kids were in-and-out of the hospital and we were dealing with a very unique diagnosis for three out of the four of us.

I never got the play or do the games the way I wanted. I had a good team and ruined it by mismanagement. Ugh.

One of the innovations that have include a draft and salary cap. I say that because their cards are slightly different (extra information, different player rating system), but they are quite good.

If they are still playing in a couple years, I might try again. Either way, since my site comes up so much in regards to Statis-Pro, I felt like I should point folks to people that still play Statis-Pro Football on a regular basis.
