The Lazy Gamemaster: EXODUS-II

Mar 16, 2007 12:33

My usual comfort zone as a GM is the traditional strong-GM plotted mode. Honestly, I love that style of play. I love having players explore a setting that I've created and I love the challenge of molding a plot based on my players' preferences and their characters' interests, and then adapting it on the fly to whatever happens. It's a neat ( Read more... )

Scene with Mark and My Characters anonymous March 16 2007, 20:26:29 UTC

We met and I told him about the mining ship that I had seen fleeing the Exodus II after the explosion. My character has a crush on his and trusts him to give her good advice on what to take to the Inquistor. She then did some research and found out that a mining ship was missing. She took this information to Ed's character later in the game.

Right now I live in envy of actual play.

Also congrats on all your marketable goodness. Do you want to fly me out to work as an assistant? I bet you could write it off as a business expense.

Work as my assistant? There's only one more miserable assignment in the world, and that's working as my artist.

You need to find a cheap flight to Seattle in June, is what you need.

Johnzo, I'm really enjoying your breath of fresh air in the SGA Monday Night games. You've got a level of energy that gets people going that I envy. Anytime you're in a game or running the game it "feels" more real. I totally get this sense from your Exodus idea.

I'm just sorry my work/life schedule can't regularly accomodate the Monday night format. Luckily I can attend every now and then. But then again I have more than enough gaming in Seattle to get my fill. :)

That said - there's nothing like getting to game with you my friend. You're still a big part of some of my most memorable scenes/games in Seattle. From Falkenstein to Alpha City to Space 1889 then back to the old colony of Roanoke.

Brilliant stuff man. I love this "GM commentary". I wish more people got excited enough to gab about it. You give me a yell when you're ready to make a SGA Podcast on GMing. :)

thanks again.
good read.

Podcast, eh?

hmmmm, there's an idea. Put some SGA in your iPod!

And thanks for the kind words. We gotta get you back at Roanoke soon-- there's a holy grail to find!
