I was planning on writing a post about how freaking cold it is in San Francisco right now.  It’s August and I feel like it’s almost Christmas.  Don’t get me wrong, there were quite a few hot weekends in May and June.  One July hit, it just started getting more and more chilly.  I’m afraid to even put my feet in my bed these days, because I’m not using my jersey sheets.  Which is a mental reminder for me, change to jersey sheets tonight.

Looking at wunderground.com, I noticed it says that San Francisco is going to be Sunny this weekend.  But it’ll be 61 degrees.  I’d say that’s still a huge win on the side of Summer. YEH!

There was something else that I wanted to talk about. Ah, yes.  Back to the Snopes article.  I noticed that the article talks about something called a treppenwitz or ’staircase wit’.  A Treppenwitz is a comeback that comes long after the moment has passed.  You may have just been made fun of by one of your peers, but ended up not having a witty comeback, until you walk away and get in your car.  How sad… it happens to me all the time.  But, I usually call that a delayed reaction.  wikipedia

While I was going through a board game price guide, I noticed a new game coming out called “Lone Wolf RPG: Heroes Of Magnamund”. Just seeing that name forced me to google it just to see if it was the same thing. And you know what? It was!

I started to read more about it on wikipedia which led me to find ProjectAon. ProjectAon started in the late 90s and seems to be keeping up the Lone Wolf culture. The game creator, Joe Dever, even gave them permission to publish the books publicly on the website. So if you get a chance check out this webpage: http://www.projectaon.org .

Youl Grinner (4 HP)
Ability:
Before drawing, players with more hand cards than him must give him one card of their choice.

Big Spencer (9 HP)
Ability:
He starts with 5 cards. He can’t play Missed!

Teren Hill(3 HP)
Ability:
Each time he would be eliminated, “draw!”: if it is not Spades, Teren stays at 1 life point, and draws 1 card. If the draw is unsuccessful, you can’t play a Beer to save you.

Lee Van Kliff (4 HP)
Ability:
During his turn, he may discard a BANG! to repeat the effect of a brown-bordered card he just played. The brown card may be also another BANG! You may repeat each effect one time only.

John Pain (4 HP)
Ability:
If he has less than 6 cards in hand, each time any player “draws!”, John adds the card just drawn to his hand. The card drawn this way may not be used immediately, you must wait until the previous effect ends. For example if it’s a Beer and you lose at the same time your last life point, you may not use it.

Gary Looter (5 HP)
Ability:
He draws all excess cards discarded by other players at the end of their turn.

Greygory Deck(4 HP)
Ability:
At the start of his turn, he may draw 2 characters at random. He has all the abilities of the drawn characters. The only valid are those from the basic game. At the beginning of your next turn, you decide whether to keep the characters or to change them. If you chose to change them, you must change both of them. This ability also applies at the beginning of the game.

This is starting to feel like a Blizzard release date.
