Skipped The Hobbit movie in theaters due to word of mouth, but finally got around to watching it on blue ray this weekend. There was some cool scenes. Mostly the quiet stuff like everything with Galadriel. And Bilbo the morning after the Dwarves visit, one could read his mind as he wandered his home- with everything put back in place after the chaos of the previous evening.
But... when did Middle Earth become part of the Roadrunner Show? Falling down massive chasms without harm? Domino trees? And poor Radagast the Brown, not one of my favorite characters by far- but must he now be forever connected to bird droppings? It was almost a case of split personality, half the movie seemed set in Middle Earth. The other half was more Keystone Cops.
I remember in 2001 walking out of the theater thinking, "yes- we could do all that in games". And now, I'm thinking "no we can't, and we don't want to". What a difference a decade and fame can make in a director.

Age of Heroes 5.0: 1 year old
So it's been a year (as of last month to be honest). I hit my expected sales nicely (i.e. they were all basically to myself and my groups past and present).
And no magic supplement yet, but to be fair it's been a 'busy' year for me and if anyone could have completed a project under those conditions they be impressive. But the year marker brings the chance to pick things up again and see where they go. The trip is always fun.
It also brings up the question as to when to update the Lulu copy with the errata that's been collecting. It's less than two nicely formatted pages, so I'm not really feeling the pressure yet. But I wonder at which point it should be done. A year ago I thought the one year mark would be perfect, but those couple of pages just don't seem like enough. Someday I'll make a decision, I don't think there's a hurry.
Meanwhile the Errata link over on the top left there now goes to a PDF file instead of a blog link. Easier to update and it allows one to download it to a table or print it out for reference.
