The Rules of The Game: The Evolution of Rollerball
After many years of searching, I finally found the REAL rules of Rollerball, the violent future sport presented in the 1975 sci-fi movie.
When I was approached by a game company earlier this summer about publishing my miniatures rules, I did some research into the background of the game in preparation for an official version (and finally "met" author and Rollerball inventor William Harrison in the process). The initial deal fell through so I am shopping the game around to other publishers, but I didn't want the information I dug up to languish -- therefore I'm posting the background article that would have gone into the appendix of the rule book.

Okay, okay ... I know I keep promising to upgrade this site, but I've been a wee bit busy in the print world. Here's what I've been working on lately:

Bad Carson
John Kovalic has once againfoolishlygenereously allowed me to take over his comic strip for a week. As you'll recall — last April Fool's — Carson was thrown into a Mirror Universe where everyone in Dork Tower was rich, successful and cool. This year, Mirror Carson gets sucked into our universe. So if you're a geek, a gamer, or a fan of Frank Miller's "Sin City," you'll probably get a kick out of this week's cartoons. Watch the bodies pile up in "Dork Mirror II: Back to Mud Bay."

A Futurist at the Movies
My virtual buddy Josh Calder, a professsional futurist (really), has a new blog up — http://futuristmovies.com/blog/ — allowing him to write about the probabilities of events in sci-fi movies happening in the real world until the cybercows come home (liklihood of cybercows before 2019: low)

While Rome Burned?
So Bush decided to end his vacaction early because of the Katrina disaster (only by 12 hours, but why quibble). Yet, even after he made the announcement, he still had time to meet with a country singer, and while the nation watched New Orleans drown on national TV, George was jammin' like a star on stage. Anyway, here's my homage to Dubya's 'High Water Mark'
