Multiple Attack Update

Hi folks,

I’ve been pretty sick for about a month off and on due to strep. That’s why this blog’s been silent. What’s going on?

Aeternal Legends: It’s available in print and PDF, still. Stew and I are slowly talking about some cool stuff to come, but we’re both pretty busy. Why don’t you buy that sonofabitch?

Knights of the Hidden Sun: Still on Chapter Three (not many in the book, so this is further along than you might think). Looking at the engineering and programming aspects of soul manipulation. It’s coming.

World of Darkness: I did some work on World of Darkness: Mirrors and the Mage Chronicler’s Guide. Some of it’s very rules heavy. Some of it involves creatures made from the still-bleeding wounds of the dismembered universe.

Eclipse Phase: I did some work for an upcoming book, but can’t say much more.

Other RPG Thing: I’m working on an adventure for a TBA client. Should be fun.

Other Other RPG Thing: I have in my files an amazing game from a Famous RPG Designer. I hope I have time to do him a small service, because the game is amazing, and I would like to help with it.

Other Other Other RPG Thing, What For Charity: I’m currently in the early stages of designing a game as a permanent charity effort — this is what I wanted to get to in February. If you’re a non-flaky creative interested in this sort of project email me.

Conventions: I’ll be at Anime North again this year. Details to come.

Electronic Projects: I recently finished the first phase of concept and setting design for an ambitious multimedia property but again, I can’t say too much.

Playing: I’m still playing Cinnabar, the warforged ranger. 7th level now. Still enjoying 4e. I tease Steve about it not being the Best Thing Evar, but I like it.

Running: Star Wars Saga. One of the PCs is Darth Vader’s artificially created sibling. The PCs just got captured by the Death Star, which contains 6 million Dark Side Adepts trained to use the Force in concert, not a giant laser.

Planning: Might be the SF game, Indigo. Might be World of Darkness. Might be a light fantasy game. Chris Huth said something about playing a mix of old-style D&D and GUMSHOE. I am very interested in this and might try it myself.

Mage: The Dirty Version: I plan on getting back to entries here.

Bloggage Reading: I finally headed to Zak Smith’s D&D With Pornstars blog. I think the mashed up game and visual bricolage is cool, even if the tone and dungeon focus doesn’t appeal to me.

Your Game: I still judge it and find it wanting! I still think your desire for structure comfort and easy answers is making you bad at playing RPGs and really appreciating what they are, and I’ll tell you why at length!

Seriously though, I have some ideas, you have some ideas. Let’s work so hard it turns into play.
