Jun. 25th, 2007 @ 11:53 am New Dogs in the vineyard campiagn underway
I have been pretty active on my Gaming Blog. All of them have seen some action recently and you can expect the gaming one will be kept most up to date.

Anywho, I posted something new about our new Dogs game that I thought some folk would be interested in.

Current Music: If I knew who did it I wouldn't be posting this...
There is a rock remake of a song from "The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly." It is a guitar instrumental of the song "The Trio" or "IL Triello" (during the Scene "Triangle of Trust").

Please find it for me!

Thanks all!

Dec. 28th, 2006 @ 11:34 am End of the year update
Current Music: Guardian - Disturbed
So yeah, I have been a blogging slug lately. So in case you were wondering here is what I have been up to:

I have two Burning Empires campaigns I have been maintaining. It's not constant and it's way less work than normal campaigns but the front end stuff and just having two weekly games has been time consuming.

I have several games to prep for Dreamation. I have to write up characters for Don't Rest Your Head, modern mad City versions of four main characters from As You Like It. I have some prep work to do for my BE World Burning and character burning sessions (which I am way excited about) and I have a scenario for my Artesia/Burning Wheel game called Five Thrones. The Wheel of Fortune is plugging along just fine but it's getting to be crunch time!

*Sigh* BattleLore. Truth be known this has been taking up a good amount of my time. I devote at least a night a week to it. On a grand note everyone I have shown it to has really dug it so i have lots of folks to play with :) Starting the new year I start painting minis!

November and December were low TV months. We watched only six DVDs over the course of the two months and saw only two films in the theatre. This past week or so we did some catchup. We finished out Season Two of Deadwood and Season One of Rome. We only have two more discs left for Season Two of LOST (gosh that show is such an RPG). Spring and I watched both Timothy Dalton Bond films.

I got a new entertainment system this Christmas thanks to [info]stormsweeper-Claus! And apparently it was for a charity event, which makes me happy too. So I have been engrossed in a few new video games and a few new films. Damn, I need a HDTV!

I got reaquainted with WoW. We got characters up to a certain level and wait for a buddy to run us through a few cool dungeons. I also found an interesting persistent world for Neverwinter Nights 2 that I will be running through.

We have been doing some house tidying, rearranging and work. [info]isawarenshi's room needs finishing and rearranging, we have a plumber coming in to install a new heater pump and we are about finished with the back yard and basement cleaning projects.

Lastly in the month-where-I-again-have-too-many-irons-in-the-fire I have been asked/volunteered to do a little project for Ken Hite. I finally got them done (I have two more entrees to finish and it's cleared - yay!). They were fun to do and more on what it is later when things are more solidified.

With all that and more visiting this season than we are used to... Well, needless to say, I've been busy. It's been a good year and I am looking forward to the year ahead.

Have a safe and happy New Year.

And so I wallow at 20,000ish words.

I did get two more Cultural LPs (entire settings, not just single LPs) done. I have two more to go. I specifically left the one I am certain we are going to make characters for on Saturday for last so that I didn't stall when I got to it. I have a lot of hopes for getting the occupations done tomorrow and Friday.

So shame on all of you! I have not posted anything in days and I haven't heard word one from you people about why I havn't been writing. grrr. Some support mechanism you all are!

Anyway, I finally got off my ass last night and got some work done. The html was setting me back. I couldn't ignore display errors and it took too much time to correct the code.

So I converted many of the files into text documents and got back to business with what NaNoWriMo is all about - word count! Sure it sets me back but at least I'm now moving forward.

Artesia: The Wheel of Fortune
Settings of the Middle Kingdoms

All Images and setting material are from
Artesia: Adventures of the Known World

Settings
Athairi There are five dominant cultures within the area known as the Middle Kingdoms. It's important to understand that these cultures have stood the test of time and the influence of millenia can be found in their veins. However, homogeny is a thing of the past. Very few can claim pure blood within their cultures. Exploration, communication, merchant endevours and manifest destiny have all had a hand in the plural cultures of the Middle Kingdoms. Even so, and maybe as a response to this reality, the peoples of the Middle Kingdoms hold onto their heritage and traditions with fervor.

( Here are the two COMPLETED Cultural LPs... )

Thanks to [info]bar_sinister for some crack input in the 11th hour. Sometimes I need someone to say "yeah, that's the direction I would go in" to keep me from floundering.

Note to Artesia-ites - or would that be Artesians - that here are some interesting departures from Artesia canon: Everyman skills are limited by social class and each culture/social class has a set of Arcana associated with it. you'll also note that even the Born In... LPs have stat boosts. We'll see how this (and lower stat totals on the Age charts) will work out.

I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!



You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.

So I'm like, what wonderful thing is Brennan sending me? Then I greedily open the package and low and behold...

   

Even after reading Judd's journal I still forgot this was coming. And this, ladies and gentleman is why I keep emailed reciepts until I get what I order. :)
