Some time in the last week or so I got bit by the writing bug. I remember some random ideas popping in my head during the work day. I wrote it down so I could add some detail later. Then another idea came, followed by another, and then even more. I seem to write better when I have several projects going at one time. I can jump to another project instead of being stuck on the only one I am working on at the moment. Yes, focus is a good thing but I need variety in my writing projects or my output starts to dwindle off pretty bad. The following projects are currently in development as future posts.
Adventures in Fantasy: I am going to either scan the reference sheets or type up new versions; it depends on whether or not the information in the official sheets is all that useful. There always seems to be a table or two that really should have replaced with something else in these type of resources. I am also working on a character sheet for this old game.
Back to the Dungeon RPG: I am working on a supplement to BttDRPG that basically serves a similar purpose as Greyhawk back in the OD&D days. I am shooting for a 32 page document that will show the house rules and custom mods for my campaign world Toldara. I am also working on a character sheet for this game.
Old Gaming Notebook: I am starting to develop ideas for expanding on the original ideas and move closer to making complete games out of some of these concepts.
SteamCraft RPG: I have a pdf of this game BUT I am waiting on the hardback to arrive in the mail any day. I definitely will be doing some posts on this game. I am enjoying the pdf but I work much better with printed product. Posts are coming soon,
USR: I completed version 1.0 of the generic character sheet. I am still writing, testing, & revising the Outbreak RPG book. I need to come up with another name because I found out there is already a zombie type game by the name of Outbreak - d'oh! I am also working on doing some USR to B/X monster conversions.
WordPress: I have started experimenting with a blog at WordPress just to see if I am missing anything. I like to try out several options before deciding on a product and in the case of blogs I did not do that. If anyone is interested you can check it out at The Old Gamers Notebook to see the contents. There are only two posts so far and - at least in the early stages - there will be some overlap between old posts here and there; there will be new posts there mixed in wit the old. This is mainly just an experiment to see what all the free version of WordPress has to offer. If I like it then I will maintain a separate blog there. Regardless, this blog you are reading right now is staying and will continue to be developed. Basically, I just need to scratch my writing itch. If I do not write something when I get the urge then it is probably gone or it will block me from writing most anything. Writing is something I enjoy and would love to do it professionally but it does not come easy for me and I am not very confident in a lot of it.
There is everything I am writing on at the moment. Some of it will be regular posts while some of it will make it into the A to Z challenge. Stay tuned...
