Sleep depravation, explanations, and every day going-ons.

Greetings from the other side.

Didn't sleep much last night. There was a thunderstorm outside, and normally I can sleep through stuff like that no problem, but for some reason I couldn't last night. I am not convinced it was because of the thunderstorm. More likely a general issue of not being able to fall asleep. Oh well. It happens.

It was pointed out to me yesterday that I had kind of forgotten to specify what kind of RPG I was talking about. As I posted in my reply in the comments to that post, I was in fact talking about a tabletop RPG game system. I do know that plenty of game systems exist out there, and I've even tried my hand at playing in some of them over the years. As I also said in my reply was that I am not really doing it because I am planning on publishing a new tabletop RPG or anything like that. To me it is a fun experiment, and one I have found that I quite enjoy working on. I find it to be a very interesting challenge. :)

Most likely, it will turn out to be something I might try out with my friends but never go any further than that. If, in fact, it turns out to be a functional system at all in the end. It is my first time trying my hand at it, so I have no idea whether it will turn out good in the end or not. The main thing is that I am enjoying working on it for now. :)

The main thing though, is still the world building, which is it's own thing. As I mentioned in my previous post I am just creating a world, without tying it to any specific game system or adventure idea. I might GM a game in it at some point, or I might not. The main thing for me is the process of actually creating it and seeing it come to life.

Am still trying to come up with a good name for the world as a whole. One of my biggest weaknesses when it comes to tabletop roleplaying is coming up with names for my characters, Not to mention coming up with one for a whole world.... But once I do I might start refering to it by it's name rather than just talking about 'that world I am working on'.

Still settling in well over here. Starting my new job in about 2 weeks time, and until then I am just getting to know my surroundings a bit more. :) Been out driving, with my gf as my guide, to learn how to find my way in, and around, the nearest city.

Sadly haven't been able to go to the store to ask up about my internet connection yet. Due to various IRL reasons it has been postponed until Friday.

Also sad that I haven't yet been able to do any tabletop roleplaying online with my friends yet this week, due to the thunderstorms. They have said we will probably be getting more of the same today, so might miss tonight's D&D game as well. :-/ If I do, I will have to wait until Monday for my next game. Keeping my fingers crossed I will get a game in tonight.

Anyway, I think that will be all from me for now.

See you all on the other side!
