    Any thoughts on something new? Mythology was fun, I missed out on the pro wrestling draft and wouldn't mind trying that either.

    Mythology was interesting, but didn't, I think, have enough the right kind of source material to actually go on. It's just too vague a field.

    I thought it finished, could be wrong though.

    It never finished. We were down to the final 4.

    From 8.

    I would be down for wrestling. Or I could defend my Pokemon Draft championship.

    I'd at least like to be able to pretend that these things had a little bit of sophistication.

    Only a couple months until X and Y come out, so it might be worth waiting until that happens to do another Pokemon Draft.

    You are probably alone in that endeavor.

    Theologian? Hm, we could do a Bible draft. Plenty of guys there good and evil.

    We could do the POTUS draft. That's not really enough picks though, plus there would be very few villains(okay, so there would be plenty of villains), so we could throw some other world leaders in there. Stalin vs Reagan, anyone?

    Historical Leaders would be pretty cool. Encompasses everything from the Sumerians to present day. It'd be a hell of a thing to judge, though.

    Not my team. I'd lose pretty handily probably. Can't do worse than I did in the Jedi draft tho.

    how would you even judge a POTUS draft exactly?

    why not historical warriors? or something along those lines.

    a literature or just plain fiction draft could be pretty interesting i think. maybe straight fantasy, since we do so much that's sic-fi.

    Are you kidding me? The amount of work it would take to get anyone respect would be thesis level work. Comics is easy because it has most stuff laid out for you. Movies and tv is accessible because you can easily find and watch pertinent clips and is the least time consuming. Animated has the biggest disparity between talent on the board and talent selected. Why do you think that is? Because most people haven't seen a majority of the material and it's less accessible than movie clips. How much work do you think anyone would do for a literature(fantasy, no less, which regularly has 10 or more book series) draft?

    Just making the list would be a nightmare, never mind gming and judging. It would be new, at least. If someone wants to undertake that Herculean task may god have mercy on his soul.
