Mostly RPG stuff, though several kinds are happening.
Eclipse Phase: I am getting to run Eclipse Phase! Yay! In ... 2.5 days! Uh! I am cramming for the rules and trying to get my one-shot ready. In a rare show of restraint, I went for the merely "medium concept" instead of high concept weirdness. I think it was the correct call. Hopefully it will be engaging enough.
I am stripping down parts of the rules and the setting - though it pains me, I think it's the only way to introduce it. Hopefully I will get enough of what makes the setting so cool to me baked into a 3-4 hour game. I have not historically been great at writing games for that time spot - the DW island game being the significant exception.
Part of me thinks that EP might be a better fit for a long-running campaign than Delta Green. But I don't know! I really like both!
Delta Green Throwing out my best ideas, plus several of other people's ideas mixed in. People seem to be liking it! I am however, still terrible at predicting how long it takes for people to play through stuff - we'll be starting session 3 soon and I expected that many more things would've come into play. On the plus side, I have a sequel game in my pocket?
Red Markets is kickstarting and doing quite well!
