I too have been out of pocket for awhile. I was approached by an art designer to take 5x5 in a more professional direction, but movement on that has been really slow and kind of frustrating. I want to get my fingers and my mind working on something again.
I was at Borders the other day just killing time and I picked up an issue of Nintendo Power (it was an RPG special) and I was amused by a checklist of JRPG Cliches next to every review. Things like: Hero has Spiky hair, Airship travel... etc. I was thinking it could be fun to write a JRPG RPG where I sat down and looked at all of those cliches and built a tabletop RPG around them.
I've got that bubbling around in the back of my head ... but that's about it.
Cool to hear about what you are up to ...
