Haven't been writing here much lately. That's mainly because I have a gazillion other things I'm working on, with the ones taking up most of my free time lately being Gone Gaming (I've got 4 articles either done or partway done again) and my new RPGnet A Brief History of Game.
The latter, which is a set of histories of RPG companies is very interesting, but also hugely time consuming because of the researchign requirements. But I love writing based on research, putting together puzzle pieces. I should drop it back to monthly off of the silly semi-monthly schedule I originally planned, but I'm concerned about having months with "less interesting" very short articles (and on never getting to much of the industry at that slow pace). We'll see. I might be feeling a bit tired on this right now because I've been simultaneously writing and editing the next three pieces (Paizo, Chaosium, Issaries), and those will all be done around this weekend.
Speaking of this weekend: time to finish up my next Knucklebones piece, which is due at the end of the month and also to write up something for another upcoming HeroQuest book.
Went to EndGame tonight, though I was mostly exhausted. I feel like I've been low-grade sick since last Friday or so because I've been fatigued and had troubles concentrating. Hopefully that will soon pass.
I enjoyed myself, though I was so tired that I was mainly in the push-the-pieces-around-the-board mode. Which gave me a second place in Tempus, a second place in No Thanks!, a second place in No Thanks!, a first place in Seismic, and a I-didn't-win in Treasures and Traps. Not bad for methodical piece pusshing. I was surprised when I marked my plays in BGG to see that I didn't rate a single game I played tonight a 7 or better. It was 6, 6 [x2], 6, 4.
(After a second play, Tempus seemed even less interesting, though that might be the fatigue.)
I finished up my Stormbringer campaign this last Saturday. Or at least what we're calling "Act I", though I have no good plans for when I'm going to restart. My original plan was to mostly run out of modules, and I went through the paltry number of SB5 modules. So next week we're dungeon-kicking it old school: AD&D1 into The Temple of Elemental Evil. Now that's playing out of modules.
This came out of the RPGnet Gaming Index project, which has been reminding me of all of the things I have that I could run if I wanted to, straight out of a module. If the dungeon delving doesn't totally bore us we're going to play T1-4/A1-4/GDQ1-7. We'll see.
Other things on my list of possibilities: the 21-adventure Grand Tour for Traveller, any number of Call of Cthulhu adventures, and maybe Ars Magica, Toon, and/or Paranoia.
(By the by, I've been catching up my AP Log of the game at RPGnet. I should be done by mid-next-week at the latest.)
