Found this video while visiting the Science Fiction blogzine io9.com
Journey behind the scenes at Qualcomm where we learn how they built their wireless service on the backs of pigeons, wolfpigeons, sharkfalcons, and (science willing) crocodeagles.
One thing I have realized from all the stories I've seen re-imagined from one format to another (be it book to movie, movie to television series, or movie to video game), it's that they always muck it up because someone thinks, "I can do it better!"
I should have realized, when I started taking the notes from one of my more favorite AtB stories, The Green Death, and formalizing it to share with anyone who cared to run it, that I was falling into the same muddy trap. I started adding what I thought was some extra depth that was missing from the original notes, stuff that might have been missing. However, what I really started doing was changing the story into something different. I realized that had actually happened was that now, the original adventure was missing.
So now it's back to the drawing board and try to post what I had originally intended, a quick little one-or-two session adventure that's straight to the chase.
