So it seems we have come out of our gaming slump pretty strong. Between a series of events that kept one of our players sick and my wife’s schooling we just weren’t finding the time. But I can now say that things have finally settled. Our friend and fellow player is feeling a lot better these days, and my wife finished a good portion of her schooling (she still has a conference she has to do on Tuesdays but that’s it). So now onward, well until the holidays anyway. Once the holidays hit I am not sure how much gaming we will have time for, but we’ll figure that out when the time comes.
We had a nice reintroduction to Curses of Night after the ST for the game rewrote a ton of rules (though it still seems to need some tweaks), and my roommate is now running full bore with a Shadowrun game until I get my 2nd edition version of Eldritch Empires done. And speaking of that I am almost done with it. After it is finalized I will write up the campaign I intend to run, and we will probably be playing D&D sometime in the next 2 weeks or so (or so I am hoping).
Once I am settled in running D&D week to week, I fully intend to start working on Altered Realities again, and though the core rules are pretty much done, I need a setting to run the rules in. I have decided (and I think I may have mentioned this before) to put together rules for a superhero setting. I was going to do a Star Wars setting, but my roommate talked me into a superhero game due to the powers and such being more generic and not having to follow any specific setting rules like they would in Star Wars.
Once I get the superhero rules written up the playtest will begin, but that will be the difficult part. Finding a day to run the game and test out the system. I really want to do this, but once I start running D&D I plan to stay dedicated to it until the campaign ends. The hard part will be finding a day to run it and players who can make it out to where we live, not to mention scheduling it so people can be here for it.
Well, there’s plenty of time to get it figured out, after all I’m still not quite done with my D&D setting, and once I finish it and the campaign I plan on taking a break over the holidays and just play some games I have backlogged (like iNfamous 2, Demon Souls and Dark Souls) before I start another project.
