Took the weekend off

Bygamingballistic

No posts pending for this last weekend. After blowing myself up last October, I more or less trapped my wife at home for rather a while. This past weekend, she got away with her girlfriends to Duluth for the weekend, and I got the kids. That’s great, and we had fun . . . but there was no time to sit and write.

So while sometimes I can polish off some retroactive posts, with a nod to Aragorn, today is not that day.

What can I say? 

Next weekend will feature a review of Action 3: Furious Fists, which brings martial arts awesomeness to the rules-light Action series.

My D&D5e project will undergo some low-key playtesting. I’m still quite pleased with how things are shaping up, but it’s clear to me that I need to make some firm decisions about what this is going to “grow up” to be. I have some clear options, and I need to choose which ones they are. Setting or no setting? Lethal-minded or more forgiving in combat? Stuff like that . . . and I have strong opinions already, so I just need to decide if I’m going to commit to my predispositions, or not. Exciting either way.

Game on for Aeon tonight, and I’m almost wondering if after last game, if we’ve either hit a “new” Season, or if that was what would be the equivalent of the Christmas break half-season cliffhanger. Feels like that, so I don’t think we’ll move on to S2E(n), but we got a lot of good intel last game, and this one we need to figure out what to do with it. Oh, and we’re still trapped in the basement with a sociopathic AI and his sociopathic partner and his sociopathic nemesis. It’s like a political campaign where your best option really does seem to be Cthulhu, because why vote the lesser evil?

Firearms Scatter worksheet from 3e

Bygamingballistic

In a wild and likely unlawful combination of Throwback Thursday and GURPS-Day, I present something that I thought had been lost years ago. This was a head-poundingly complex shot at taking the old 3e rules (you can tell because of the Acc 10 assumption for the rifle) and asking the question “where does each bullet…

From Evil Overlords to PC Engagement – Tribality for the win

Bygamingballistic

Over at Tribality.com, +Brandes Stoddard throws down a post called Playing with a Stranger’s Toys. Notionally it’s about the challenges of using other settings and adventures. He brings up a few examples, and a contrived scenario (not his own) where the players are put in the situation where they are being approached, on a ship, by another…

Back from Thailand! Major Status Update

Bygamingballistic

Wow. I have traveled from Minneapolis to Penang, Malaysia many times in the past. This was my first business trip to Thailand. Bangkok is closer than Penang by a bit – maybe two hours, but for whatever reason, this trip hit me harder. Both directions, the trip was pretty tight, and accomplished in three legs….

GURPS 101 and Melee Academy: Checked ’em out lately?

Bygamingballistic

Some of the regular GURPS bloggers and I have been doing more-or-less monthly features that highlight certain aspects of GURPS. The first was called Melee Academy (click for the master link list). It was a bunch of article on fighting and fight tactics, with a focus on melee/fantasy combat. The second feature is GURPS 101…

  1. My current goal on my blog is one post every four days, sometimes squeezing down to three if I build up a bunch at once (which has happened in the past).

    So far, I'm largely barely squeezing that out this year, with some 5- and 6-day gaps. So a weekend off is doing far better than I.

    At least I'm handily beating my old goal of at least one blog a week.
