For those of you who don't know, this week is Read An RPG In Public Week. To that end, I will be taking my newly aquired Star Frontiers - Knight Hawks book out to lunch with me. Picked it up yesterday at Half-Price Books for $9.99 (along with a copy of the novel of The Maltese Falcon and the Special Edition DVD of Arnold's Total Recall, for $2 each), and it's in practically mint condition. They also had the big map for the board game, but I couldn't see paying $7.99 for that.
I am damn-near obsessed with Star Frontiers these days, and am jonesing to play it. I'm really hoping I can get a game together. Like I said before, even a one-shot would be cool.
I have also been putting some thought into the Life of Rage RPG, specifically the OSR version. If you've looked at it, you can see that it's really just a supplement to be used with the Moldvay/Cook books. However, I have been inspired by Blueholme and Mazes & Perils, and am thinking about expanding it to being a fully functioning, OGL game that requires no other books or materials. It might be more than I am prepared to do in the end, but right now the idea sounds kind of cool.
And finally, we'll be playing 5E again this Sunday. That's the fourth weekend in a row. Pretty exciting stuff! Based on some things that happened in the last session, I have focused my character a bit more in my mind. I know that the main purpose of this is to test the rules, but I can't help but want to explore the character aspects that have nothing to do with any specific rules.
I have been gaming, off and on, since I was 12 years old. Now that I'm...well, MUCH older, I don't get to play quite as often as I like, but I still like to keep my hand in the game, as it were. This blog is about the role-playing games I write, the games I play, and the games I wish I could play.
