I read an article the other day that was excellent, but it had a different interpretation of the famous Yoda quote "There is no try. Do or do not". The article briefly asserted that the quote implied that there was no reason to try anything if you were not assured of success. I happen to disagree and left a comment to that effect. You can read the comment in its mostly unaltered state below.
Star Wars: Dark Resurrection
Because I made a reference to Star Wars a few days ago, I thought it'd be nice to have something more concrete to go along with it. Below is a link to an Italian, fan made movie that you may or may not have seen already. If you haven't it's well worth a watch. Vol 0 is a prequel to Vol 1 (naturally, I suppose) and at present Vol 2 is as yet unreleased. We can only hope (and donate) that they will be able to finish at some point!

Oh yeah, the page is in Italian, but you'll probably be able to figure out what to click on to get to the pages you want for watching the movies. If I remember correctly they do have subtitles.

Making the Most of Your Time
I wrote this in response to another blog article that I read recently and felt it was worth sharing here as well.
The balance between stuff and a sense of purpose is one I've been struggling with for some time. Perhaps, though, it would be more accurate to say the balance between mere entertainment and time well spent; because time well spent creates a sense of purpose and fulfillment, and while "stuff" often falls into the entertainment category, one can waste time just as easily without wasting money too.

A New Hope
No, this doesn't have anything to do with Star Wars . . . though it probably should.
I'm thinking about re-purposing this blog to include more variety. I had hoped to be spending the majority of my time on my role-playing system when not at work, but I have, as you may have noticed if you've skimmed the archives or been following along, not been posting ... at all. This means I haven't been spending my time on gaming for the most part, but that doesn't mean there's not topics to write about. So, let's try it out. At the moment I'm not guaranteeing regular updates or posts or even any particular topic, but I'm going to permit myself to post whatever strikes my fancy. Hopefully it will strike your fancy too!
