Hi there once more , after a long gap of time. So right now I am lying in bed, suffering another virus, not of the Covid variety, but enough to lay me low. Just decided to reconnect with the blog-o-sphere. What's been happening. A lot and nothing. The game over on Beware the Smiling DM has come to its climatic ending earlier this year, the group having - oh I'll leave that to that particular blog. We have finished the game of 2300ad on 8+ . The 10th alignment game has stalled several times. Since starting we have managed 3 sessions and I think we are not going to be able to reconvene to complete the story. The game over at Hero vs Villain - Batch 22 - played five sessions and was well received by the group who enjoyed the different style of the game and story line. We may return , probably in another system, to have some ongoing adventures in their universe. Truth be told I have a lot of recorded games that need being edited a little and placed on their respective blogs but I just haven't the energy or inclination to do that for a while now.
So what have I been doing and what seems to be working. The Face to Face group on Wednesdays has been wandering through several different stories etc while the group players can become more stable ( Coivd hits again!) I have now purchased White Box a Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game bought out be Seattle Hill games for each of my players and we are in the initial stages of starting up our next game Telerane- a game world set influenced by Celtic/Mesopotamian culture/history. Once this is established we hope to return to the Thix game (Beware the Smiling DM game) to resolve Nymphs story arc about why she was targeted by the Assassin group. My online games - Edgegate a White Box FMG (WBFMA), is progressing nicely and all the players appear to be enjoying it, the Supers game (Hero vs Villain) are trying a new system 1Dice supers which seems to be going very well and into its sixth session with the group doing more than just showing up and walloping the bad guys. The crew over on 8+ are now playing out a story in Traveller (1983 edition) based on a trinary system. So that's it gaming wise.
For the future I am playing with some ideas for the face to face group to play in other parts of Barra, my 30+ years gaming world, a make up game for the face to face group when all can not be present based on WBFMAG -Swords and Sorcery style - 'The Black Coast' ,two different stories in the Traveller games, in the Supers's sphere returning to my old favourite system Villains and Vigilantes . Also considering trying some other genres of games if my Face to face group are happy o venture out and stretch their roleplaying muscles.
Also just thought Id mention the KiwiRPG thing that is going on at the moment too. Well guess I have been doing lots of stuff but just not showing up here and talking about it. Anyway hope all of you are dealing with the ever blooming Covid challenges, the horrid events in Ukraine and anything else life is throwing at you and yours presently. Game on!
Steve
