Just to prove the merits of halfheartedly beating a dead horse (a brutally misused cliché in this case), I have partially updated the Empire of Altan section of the Gnoll Patrol. I really should get a proper background set up there, but it really doesn't matter if there's no one to play it, now does it?

I was looking at the characters for "These Aren't the Droids for Which You're Looking", and it occurred to me that the secondary boss-chara is 16th level. Now, even if you ignore the one level he has in a professional class (since he's a droid), that's still 15th, making him approximately 12 times as powerful as any individual PC in the adventure- ( Read more... )

Well, damn. I spend two weeks preparing for the new D&D campaign and then I completely forget about it. Shows how much of a sense of duty I have, even for things that I enjoy.

"These Aren't the Droids for Which You're Looking" has a brief brief now. As usual, sex of PCs is undecided until I get players who care. (This is made easier by the fact that they don't claim that any species, including humans, has gender-specific names.)

One concern: Tey isn't much use to the party. I made her/him a crime lord because it's just ( Read more... )

With still nothing to do, I continue to work on role-playing stuff, including yet another update of my resumé. I also ended up looking back at the Gnoll Patrol, and even updating a bit of the page. I had realized that we'd already had an entire season set in the Empire of Altan, yet it didn't have its own page like Dumathoin's Teeth did. Well, I ( Read more... )

So, as promised, here are the blurbs for the one-off games I've been planning:

These Aren't the Droids You're Looking for (8th-level Star Wars): A few years after the loss of their highest leaders at the Battle of Endor, the Imperial remnants are evacuating to the rim worlds under pressure from the strengthening Rebel Alliance. One of your ( Read more... )

As noted before, I'm busy goofing off and fiddling around with d20 rules instead of working on my projects. My focus at the moment is one-off games, as there's no foreseeable way that I will ever be able to play myself or run a campaign again. Besides the ones previously announced, I've also thought up a couple of other ones, one in D&D and one in ( Read more... )

As you may have noted from my posts, I was back on track with Project Homuncupunk for a while in the middle of January. However, my research was my undoing. In an effort to work out the problems with the weaponry, I looked at my firearms references. Unfortunately, the only ones I have are this and this. Unsurprisingly, I then ended up getting back ( Read more... )

I should have posted yesterday, obviously, but I was busy playing Fluxx with Mother. Ms. ladybronwyn stopped by for a while before driving off to Chicago (IIRC), but lokodraucarn completely forgot. Everyone else in the Conclave is far, far away (or at least out of town). Anyway, hope you all had a lucky day.

Well, I've been completely disoriented these last few days (more on that in a later post). One of the things of which I lost track was my somewhat haphazard plan to get people together for this month's Friday the 13th. I know that virtually no one is around, but it's important, all right? Please get in touch.

The venue is Mother's house. I would ( Read more... )
