Greetings from the other side.
Today we are on the third day straight of thunder and rain. It sort of comes and goes. From having experienced almost no thunder previously this summer, mother nature appears to have now, suddenly, decided to make up for that. Really wish we could get the sun, and calm, back now. Kinda sick of it. I can deal with the rain, and thunder normally, but 4 days of it kinda wears on you a bit.
Also it will probably impede on my ability to play RPGs with my friends online in the coming days, if it keeps up. Something I am hoping will NOT happen, as I wasn't able to play with them last week and I kind of miss it. Not to mention it is a great creative outlet and might help get my own creative juices flowing again.
New internet also installed. Though for something that is supposedly going to give us 100Mb/s (at least, that is what we are paying for), we are currently only getting around 20Mb/s. Will go back to the store and ask up on that tomorrow.
Been trying to do some creative writing again on my world-building project, but haven't really been able to do much of it since I got over here. Am hoping to get that creative spark back soon. Not sure how much of it will be discussed by me on the blog in the future. I guess it will depend on whether I find something in there I'd like to discuss on here. It is a subject, and a project, that is dear to my heart though, and something that is truly a labour of love more than anything. I didn't really set out to make it for any specific roleplaying game I was going to run with my friends, but more as:
A) something I have always wanted to do, as I have had the idea and concept for a world in my head for a very long time but never gotten around to writing it down and fleshing it out further.
B) to see what I could do if I gave myself complete creative freedom, not restrained by any particular game system or adventure idea.
That being said, I might still run a game in that world in the future. A friend of mine even convinced me to start working on a game system specifically for this world. I was a bit hesitant at first, but having worked on it I am now finding it to be a very fun, and interesting, challenge to go alongside the actual world building. I am still making sure however, that the world comes first and that the game system will be adapted to it, rather than the other way around.
Well, I think that is all from me for the moment.
See you all on the other side!
A game? Like a tabletop RPG game or a videogame? If it's a tabletop game there's a lot of RPG systems that are "Build Your Own", like Fudge: http://www.fudgerpg.com/about/about-fudge/fudge-overview.html or GURPS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GURPS
SvaraRaderaHi Jessica.
RaderaIt's a tabletop-style game system. I should probably have been more clear on that.
I am well aware there are plenty of systems out there, like FUDGE and GURPS that you suggested, that could be used for this purpose. :) I just find it an interesting challenge, to be honest. It might end up becoming something, or it might fall flat on its face, but either way I find it a fun and interesting experiment for now. I've found that I enjoy tinkering with game mechanics and the like. :)
Also, I am not really planning on publishing a game system or anything like that. This is really more an experiment,
and will most likely never end up being used outside of my group of friends that I play with, if it ends up being completed at all and doesn't just turn out to be a mess. XD;; Which could be a possibility considering it is my first time ever doing something like that.
I might talk more about it in a future post. We will see. At the very least I will probably clarify in a post that it is a tabletop game system, etc. ^^
