What has that Bandit Guy Been Up To?

Howdy!
Some of you may be asking, what has Bandit been up to?
For starters my new-ish email is elbandit AT gmail DOT com. I stopped using Outlook a while back and never check the RR accounts anymore. Probably need to at some point.
Last couple of years I have been sucked into the World of Warcraft. It ate up a lot of my free time and creativity. For last couple of months I have not been playing at all and was amazed at how quickly the juices started to flow. I cancelled the account for the second and last time today. I am officially done with the game, and it is off the Hard Drive. Yay me!
Given my creative energies being renewed, I have started several different projects!
Currently in the works are two movie scripts. Apparently dealing with crazy computer clients is not enough for me, I need to also deal with the craziness of Hollywood. One is a romantic comedy centered on a geek male lead and his odd relationship with his teenage daughter - which is very much the story of my life.
The other one is very much a sci-fi/fantasy thriller. I can't really say much about it expect it is about a female comic book artist and her imaginary fantasy world similar to Conan. It is still shaping up.
I recently bid on the Shadowrun license when it was potentially up for grabs. The jackals at Catalyst Game Labs managed to keep it, but it lead me to a new idea - why don't I just write my own RPG. On top of everything else, I decided to start up an gaming company to churn out products. Name is being finalized at the moment.
As far as products go, I already have some generic counters for table top war games including D&D 4E ready to go. I have a miniatures skirmish game in the works as well as a role-playing game system to go along with it. On the back burner is my space combat game. Love space combat games not sure how large of a market they are anymore.
One of the unique things my company is gonna offer is convention support services. For instance, so many gaming cons fail to have any sort of online registration of their games. We could offer them that, for a price. This is what comes from 15 years of running conventions.
I figure I will eventually hit the big time with one of these projects or die of too much stress!
In the meantime, I am thinking about doing another VBAM game. Would there be interest in a Trek or maybe B5 VBAM 2E game?
Thoughts?
