Deadliest Catch

Here's why I did not have TV for many years. Not too long ago I was flipping through the channels and I come across the Deadliest Catch. Not being a fan of any sea stuff I nearly flipped right past it, but my wife said she liked the show so I put down the remote and wondered what was on sale on RPGNow. Twenty minutes later I was hooked (or in the case of this show, I was in a pot). Then the crushing story of Captain Phil Harris. Man. I just started watching the damn show and it already punched me in the gut.

Okay, why am I writing about the Deadliest Catch in a gaming blog? Because it's got me jazzed up to do seafaring adventures. I've never been a fan of seafaring adventures, but after watch several episodes (for those of you have Netflix the first five seasons are on instant play) I am ready to use the stuff I am learning from the show and put it into an adventure and build a proper fishing village. Their traditions go back so far, the superstitions, the teamwork and the captain is king.

Anyway, felt like sharing that on a Saturday night. Just wondered what shows have inspired others to do an adventure they normally wouldn't do? Have a great Saturday. Bye.
