My six-year-old son this morning asked who I was planning to vote for. I said I didn't know and asked who he liked. He said he would "vote for Hilary Clinton" because she was "a pretty lady and I love her."

He also added Barak Obama seemed "a little bossy."

If you ever find yourself hurtling through a wormhole in time and space and along the way see hundreds of clocks as the years roll back, those aren't really clocks. It is just your fragile human brain trying to make sense of time travel.

And that is why I was late for work this morning.

A recent announcement by some Story-Game members that they are working on an English translation of the Japanese Maid RPG. And I can't tell you how excited I am.

This is a very quirky sounding game, and from the few actual play reports I've been able to find, it also sounds like a lot of fun. Below is a short game description, just to give you an idea of how charming and bizarre this game is going to be.


In Maid RPG, the players take on the role of maids who serve a Master who lives in a mansion. That’s the basic setup, but what ensues is often an excuse for the most bizarre chaos imaginable. This is a game that embraces randomness. Characters have random Special Qualities, ranging from Freckles and Glasses to Stalkers and Cyborgs. During the game, characters earn points of Favor by pleasing the Master, and one of the things they can spend Favor on is causing Random Events.


Awesome.

Be sure and check out the site and bookmark them for future updates. The hope is to have the game out by GenCon Indy this year.

If you are going to be in Seattle the next couple of days, there is a 13-foot Beholder that would like a word with you.

Presumably this is part of a D&D 4E promotion, but I absolutely love the first stop on the tour.
