View From the Bushes

I was hoping to get the long-promised third Xenogenic NPC out yesterday, but I ended up taking a (really) long lunch and going to see Starsky & Hutch (capsule review: good, but somewhat overhyped; funny, but no Tommy Boy) which kind of threw off the rest of the day. So rather than blogging yesterday and making, what my friend called, another creative excuse, I decided to skip yesterday and post today, when the NPC was actually ready but...

Ha, got ya, there is no but. Thomas "Sarge" Smith, the 3rd Xenogenic NPC is now ready. As I mention in the description, a human fighter is perhaps the most generic NPC I could have posted but he is generic because the human fighter is everywhere. As such, I can't imagine anyone more useful (actually a mage would be pretty useful, because those are a bear to generate, but he's coming). Have fun with him, and let me know if you notice anything amiss.

Finally, though several years away, it looks like old Peter Jackson is going to make The Hobbit. He even wants Ian Mckellan back as Gandalf. The big problem is that one studio owns the distribution rights and one studio owns the production rights. I would really love to see Peter Jackson's vision of what Smaug looks like.
