Random status update

Last night, I met with Jenn and we chatted about her Exalted game. Then I went home, ate spring rolls, and started creating a new character. For those who care, he’s a teenaged Night Caste Solar from the Realm. He’s a stowaway on a ship and is a bit of a champion for the underdog. (Warning: Don’t follow that last...

Mediocre game night

Last night’s gaming was mediocre at best. We were playing Aberrant. I’d missed the past two games due to travel and work craziness, but my PC had been kept in the loop, doing a bunch of run and fetch type things that kept him off screen most of the time. The set-up was promising. My PC was developing a crush...

WoAdWriMo: Day Eighteen

I got some work done over the weekend. I think I’ve been making progress in terms of cutting back on details. I was going a bit overboard there for a while. I did come up with a new creepy-cool encounter using an SRD monster and a commonly-known, but not commonly-seen magic item in an unusual way. I was trying to...

NPC class: The Cutthroat

So, I’ve been frustrated with the current group of NPC classes. Mainly, the issue is that it is hard to make sneaky, combat-effective goblins without using PC classes. Warriors don’t have any stealthy skills on their skill lists. Experts aren’t that combat-effective. To fill the gap, I decided to create a new NPC class. I’ll eventually tweak it up and...

WoAdWriMo: The Halfway Point

Well… temporally halfway. Writing-wise, not so much. I think I passed a major psychological hurdle yesterday, though. This whole site/scene/challenge thing is going to make it a lot easier for me than I thought it would be. Also, I decided against mapping everything out. That takes a load off. Do you need a map for the manor house in Greenstone?...

Sites and Scenes

I’ve been tossing around a lot of ideas about how to organize my Goblins of Gourm. My newest thought? Sites and Scenes. What does that mean? Well, most of the things that show up in GoG are in one of five or six geographic areas (depending upon how I break them up), so I’m thinking about splitting the adventure up...

WoAdWriMo: Day Fourteen

I seem to have the same problem with adventure-writing that I have with fiction writing: I get hung up on the beginning. Introductions have to be good. You know? Compelling. They need to grab you and keep your interest. Unfortunately, for me, this means that I go over the beginning of things again and again, and never get past that....

Let me tell you about my characters…

I ran through my gaming schedule, so I thought I’d give an update on the various characters that I am currently playing. Sunday, Angela’s D&D Game: Bart Fliegenbart, Dwarven Chef (Rogue 2/Ranger 2) Bart has become the de facto group leader… of a group of misfits. I enjoy playing him quite a bit. I knew that Angela would go into...

A week without gaming…

So, yesterday, Jenn (who runs the more-or-less-every-other-week Pirate Exalted game that I play in) asked me what my gaming schedule was looking like these days. It comes out to about 3 games a week on average. I have alternating games on Sundays (D&D and Mage), a Monday game (Aberrant), an every-once-in-a-while Tuesday game (Exalted, about 1-2 times a month), an...
