Okay, so I admit it. I play D&D. Well, I've started playing part-time again. I've not bought any of the books, I've been mooching off a buddy and playing with his little group of geek-friends.
I remember it being better organized when I was the DM. Not that I haven't been having fun, but sometimes people get caught up in the rules and forget that it's for fun, not life and death. Regardless, it's been a nice stretch to the imagination which with all the technical writing I've been doing on papers for college, has been a great change. Today, after working out (yeah, not a geek thing, but I like being in shape a little) my buddy and I dug out a game system that I invented back in high school--Road Games, an apocalyptic game we based on Mad Max. I found out that it is still a pretty fun system, simple and fast, but I really need to organize the charts I made for it.
We had a good time playing, He's a really good character-actor and that always makes it fun. We've got a good storyline going and we're going to see if we can get a few more people interested in the game.
I think I'm going to revamp the system as I get time... It really has potential. My buddy is a better editor than I am, so he's hooked and going to help.
That's all for now, back to the real world.
From one Nerd to all the rest of you, make your saving throws.

Hey Man,
ReplyDeleteFirst off I got a copy of "The Mountain" and read it today. You have some real literary talent. Being the book junkie that I am, I'm now frustrated that I don't know what's happening next. The detail and character developement are superb. You need to get this stuff finished, copyrighted, and published. You write at a profesional level. Giving away little bits to get us hooked is ok but where is the rest of it? This book will sell, especially right now. Everyone is freaked out about the end of the world. This story will sell books. I want to read the rest! Think big dude, once you get a story or two out there your going to be famous. You'll be hanging out at your cabin in the woods writing while you collect nice royalty checks! When are you getting published! Now is the time, this is the story people want to read right now...
I also want to let you know that the fascist that run blogger want you to sign a disclamer now in order to view your blog because of your "content". No other sites that I subscribe to ask for that.
email me some more stories, I really like them!
