Random Thoughts of Chris Tilley

David Morgan-Mar creator of Irregular Web Comic (along with other co-conspirators) have a new project. Darth & Droids is based on the Star Wars movies. What they are doing is retelling the story as if the it was being played as a role playing game. They use screen shots to illustrate the comic. Its absolutely hilarious if you have any knowledge of role playing. Their explanation for the existence of Jar Jar Binks is perfect. At least from a humour point of view. They are up to 19 'full page' strips.

In reading Darth & Droids they referred to being 'inspired' by DM of the Rings.
DM of the Rings used the same method of viewing the movie as a role playing game and using screenshots of the movie. I have only read about 30 strips but so far excellent. Of course I am a fan of the movies and the books. He has completed all the movies and moved on to other projects.

A couple of months ago I got fooling around with the Amazon.com API and had this idea to inventory my books. That lead to the thought that it would be a great idea for a website. I started coding and purchased the domain name inventoryyourbooks.com. Schlock Mercenary mentioned LibraryThing in his blog. My favorite webcomic and I've been waiting for an excuse to use this banner.

Needless to say LibraryThing has already done everything I had planned plus tons more that I hadn't even thought of. They have 250,000+ registered users and 18 million books stored. Not to worry I really wasn't that far along. My only regret is that I didn't find this site 6 months ago. I would have spent the time entering books instead of coding.

Oh well more time to work on one of my other ideas. WhereIsTheRadar.com
