Still doing Madrigal rules
I have been writing everything except LJ recently - Madrigal rules, insurance forms, tabletop superhero rules, tabletop Fantasy campaign information, so I might as well catch up here too.
The main part of the rule book was posted. I still have tons left to do yes, but what was posted was pretty significant. Players seem excited and I think this new update introduces entire new character archetypes that break the mold of most LARPs. In particular I think the Herald header will completely change how large scale battles look and feel in the game so I am particularly excited about that.
The Madrigal players have been very supportive of the new rules. Madrigal players just rock.
All this has taken away from finishing up power limitations for my superhero tabletop game. I am so psyched with how the system came out. It's a joy to run and makes for some very interesting superhero battles. My players have been really good about the updates and I think the system is stable - only tweaks from here on. Scotty is the king of the complicated/interesting character so he is happily testing the limits of all the weird stuff like alternate forms, duplicating characters, and fun stuff like that. I suppose at some point I will seek out some hapless game master who wants to run a superhero campaign and is willing to help playtest the rules.
I still haven't registered for Endgame or Aralis 2. I might have to skip an event because I am just overwhelmed with stuff to do. I am on good financial footing with all the automotive woes but I still have tons of paperwork to do. The combination of that, Madrigal, work, etc. is overwhelming. I read through Mythical Journeys and they fixed some gross game balance issues (like 20 point slays in an uncalled damage system - now it's 5) so I might give that another try. So I am going to put together two teams I think - one for Aralis and one for Mythical - and work solo at Endgame where I can flee from zombies without worrying that I am screwing a group.
My house needs a lot of work. Which means I have to find a reliable contractor. Which is a hard thing to do. Ceilings need refinishing, doors need fixing, plumbing needs to be upgraded and replaced, and I have to de-animal my attic and garage. I could use someone to work on the yard as well but at least I have reigned in the jungle that was once my yard.
It wouldn't be so bad if I could sleep. Insomnia sucks. 5 days now.
I can't tell you how weird working Madrigal is. It's alternately exhausting and exhilarating. I am on an energy high for a long time and it spikes when I post the rules and then *bang* back lash just knocks me off my feet. The same thing happens after a weekend but to a lesser degree. I guess most creative projects are like that for me though.
