K'nex

The boy got a starter set of K'nex as a belated birthday present. At first my response was "Oh no, not more building stuff" as we do have a plethora of different kits. But he's really, really liking these and so I think I'll get him more in the not so distant future. He can really build a lot of cool stuff himself with these.

Not as much fun for me as the Rokenbok, but definitely a real winner as far as the boy is concerned.

Everyone else is thinking characters for jeffwik’s new game idea so I figure I should too. Now I’m having a problem, mainly its that I’ve done way to much forteana gaming and I don’t think Jeff has done a good enough job yet in articulating to me why this game is different enough for me to get into character creation. Or maybe I'm just lazy.

So, I decided to pick a fortean thing at random from my Complete Books of Charles Fort. Unfortunately I got one of the “seeing faces of religious personages in food items.” Which, I’m pretty sure is the largest category of fortean things ever, but maybe not the most playable.

So yeah I’m going to play the guy who found St Jerome on a pickle and got all crazy buying all the food items from eBay and then they started talking to him. You can blame peaseblossom for that last bit, she really liked Wonderfalls.

Or maybe not.
