Since TMD is on hiatus until things get settled, I’ve decided I’m going to try and go back to updating this blog. I’ve got a couple of projects that I’ve been toying with, and some thoughts on games that I’ve been playing that are floating around unarticulated in my head. So, since I have the capability of keeping this thing up to date on the road, and I’m still paying for the hosting, I figure I may as well get back to putting some thoughts down for the Internets to check out.

I’m finally upgrading the site to WordPress 2.7.1. It’s entirely possible that the site will break. Hopefully, that won’t happen.

Edit – The upgrade went swimmingly. Enjoy your day!

So, it’s Friday the 13th, and I just got laid off today.

Of course, we’re in the midst of a wicked recession (in case you ain’t heard), and it wasn’t just me, so there’s really no hard feelings. Fortunately for me, my wife owns her own company, and she’s offered to let me help her out, so I won’t be entirely useless. Still, I find myself with some excess free time.

One of the things that I said I’d do was to post more. Obviously, I’ve failed to do that. However, I’ve had a couple of ideas for games that I need to get written down, and, well, there’s not much better places to do that than the blog that I’ve set up for exactly that purpose.

In any case, the beginning of those posts should start on Monday. Hopefully.

My wife has made a resolution to post to her blog every day this year. I don’t have that kind of resolve. I’m shooting for once a week. I’m going to try not to do it from work, though. Except for this time.

So, what’s been going on in the ol’ gaming world.

First off, while my friend and podcasting co-host, Randy, has been on a between-semester break, we’ve ramped up our gaming schedule from 2 weekly games to 3. Unfortunately, we’re going to have to cut back once school starts back up, so we’re going to have to decide which of our three games we’re putting on hiatus until the next semester break.

One thing that I’m really going to try and do is to recap our gaming sessions and give my thoughts on what worked and what didn’t. I’m also going to try to post some on any one-shots that I’ve played, or games that I haven’t played, but have read. That should give me enough source material to keep this blog going somewhat.

In any event, I’m going to try and do some recapping of the two Burning Wheel games that we’ve been playing later today, in addition to posting some thoughts about a zygote of a game idea that’s been rolling around in my head for a while now that I have yet to actually put down on paper.
