Oh ye gods - if I go to sleep right now I can get about four hours sleep before I need to get up, shower, and head off for the game. I wouldn't have thought that I was nervous, but I have an empty two liter bottle of Dr. Pepper that tells me otherwise. Maybe because it is my first paying GM gig in about a year or so, and the last time was only a single session. At least I have gone over the scenario thoroughly. One eight hour session today, most likely interrupted by dinner somewhere in the middle. Most of the minis for tonight's game are One Monk paper minis, so at least I am not overly worried about them. The Auld Grump, I am going to be hurting on Sunday at this rate.... |

Wow, I wish I had a GM like this around me. Or DM as you call em. I've never been into roleplaying, not by choice, but just because I haven't found a group that plays anything I'm interested in, or that has a particularly good GM. It's like that guy on here that's posting those awesome zombie game blog entries. I've never had a game of anything be as fun as what it looks like you guys are doing. Le Sigh. I'm sitting inside of a game room that quite literally has to be seen to be believed (even the walls are dungeon themed!) complete with wall torches, and ironwork (I'm an apprentice blacksmith) and yet I haven't played a game of anything in like 2 months. Keep me posted so I can live vicariously through you! lol |

Lord Manimal, I feel your pain. I guess I'm the guy who posts the awesome zombie game blog entries. The beauty of the All Things Zombie rules is that they allow for solo play. This is very fortunate for me as my dwindling group of players are not horror fans. Can you believe it!? I'd love to do some gaming with like-minded and enthusiastic gamers. On the plus side, it is great that we can share our gaming experiences in forums like this. |

I went to work right after the Sunday game, then crashed. *Boom!* There is just something wrong with gaming early enough that you can have omelets. (Aside from conventions, but conventions don't count. ![]() One of the kids, who ran the game that I critiqued, came up with an interesting setting idea, but didn't use it for his game - a post apocalyptic fantasy setting, centered around what used to be the United States, when the technology failed and magic started working. I directed him to Ariel by Steven Boyett as a possible inspiration - it takes place during such a collapse, and Sam is running his game about two hundred years after the event. The Auld Grump |

Grump, I've been working on a game with that setting as one of four main plot points. The time scale has been the biggest kick in the pants for me as I've debated how long a second dark age would be behind the magical apocalypse. Right now, I have it set at about 500 years, but in that amount of time, traces of modern civilization might still be around...unless they were knocked down to make way for new old-style construction. |

Yes, I love that show! Thats part of what made me rethink my timeline. So much of what is built is going to last for 1000 years or more. I was hoping my Second Dark Age setting could be more medievel, but there is just no way around the fact that a lot of modern buildings just aren't going away fast enough to have a clean slate. Thats why I'm thinking a magic-maelstrom that flattens the larger cities, leaving the populace to move to the more sustainable urban areas, leaving the old cities to crumble into mostly unrecognizeable ruins. |

Yeah, a very good show. ![]() Sammie seemed to like it too. (In my head he is still eleven... the age I first met him. He's in high school for cripe's sake!) I am still recovering from messing with my schedule like that, woke up at 3AM, soon I will take a nap before heading to work. The Auld Grump, I seem to recall this being easier, once upon a time.... |
