I'm in Newcastle this weekend. Visiting bexfiles and Marcus, along with copperbird and Rob. Enjoying their hospitality (and scrummy fajitas and fridge cake). Have been looking at City of Heroes - enjoyed designing superhero costume, and had quite good fun kicking Nazis into next week. Sadly, it seems the graphics on my laptop aren't up to it. Shame. People also enthusing about World of Warcraft.
bexfiles showed us Grave of the fireflies, a tremendously powerful and moving film, quite different from what most people think of as "anime". The harrowing story of two orphaned children in WWII Japan. Interesting use of animation in cinematic magical realism.
I'm hoping to run a game of Dragonfist tomorrow - Chris Pramas's wuxia D&D game. Adventure to be called "Swords of Heaven" (aka "Twelve glorious tasks of invincible warriors!").
