Newness in Roleplaying Games RPGaDay

For Day 1:

- First RPG Played
The first RPG I ever played was the Dungeons and Dragons Red box set.

- Forthcoming game you are most looking forward to.
At the moment it is Titansgrave, as I am enjoying the show by Wil Wheaton.

Favorite Game and First Purchase

Favorite game of the last year: any I actually get to play. So far this year I have played Star Wars D6, Star Wars Edge of Empire, Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition.

First game purchased: while the first games I played were purchased by my parents for me, the first I saved up and purchased was the West End Games Star Wars, the second edition book with the blue cover and Darth Vader.

Dungeon Master and Kickstarter

Day 2

First RPG game mastered: Basic Dungeons and Dragons. Mind you most of my life there have been few dungeon masters, so I have been Dungeon Master more than player.

The game most happy to have backed on Kickstarter: I think it would have to be Sojouner Tales but that is not an RPG. So for an RPG product it would have to be Golden Sky Stories, Largely because it is so different. It was originally published in Japanese and is entirely non-combat related, which makes it hugely different from most I have ever played. It also has no randomization, only a resource management system.

RPG a Day

Last year I thought about doing the RPG a Day but did not do so. So this year I will and will answer questions related to both last year and this year, if I can.

I greatly enjoy RPG's (Role Playing Games) but do not play them as often as I would like. They have provided a great way to express both my penchant for logical structures and systems as well as my love of stories.

Recently my son has been interested and with the new edition of Dungeons and Dragons out last year, it is a great time to get back into it.

So these will be coming in August.

So Why am I Blogging?

Honestly, because I want to eventually publish some stuff online.

So for people to buy something, they would need to know what they are getting. So this is to establish that. Along the way a lot of stuff will be made available here anyway for free. So it isn't just for advertising.

What I plan to publish at some point are story modules, roleplaying adventures/ supplements, story games etc. We will have to see where things end up.

So one thing is why. The answer is because I like telling stories and it is more fun when other people can enjoy them.

Why not

So, I think I am going to start blogging again. The question is how.

 Most of the information that might be useful to other people would be based on things I create or do relating to geekery. So my thought is to revive this old blog.  The goal would be to blog at least once a week with something useful.

 New Labels:
 Roleplaying Games (likely will have several sub-labels here)
Cosplay
Design

Food Geek and a Google Rant

long time no post. and Google Docs apparently doesn't integrate with Blogger (both google properties, how frustrating, you would think they are GE's Healthcare IT department)

Need to do better, at least for myself. I have a tendency to flit between projects and not really do one to completion, mostly at home as there is no urgency or deadline.

One of my Geekiness traits is that I am a food geek, and for fun I woke up a bit early today to try out a breakfast pizza recipe. It is located on the recipe found here http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com/?p=823 I just lessened the number of eggs by one and added savoy cabbage which came in our CSA box.

I accidentally rolled out too much dough so I cut around the edges and made strips of dough which I added Cinnamon sugar too and baked those as well. Definitely needed a bit of butter before applying the Cinnamon sugar mix, would have tasted better.

Well, off to work. I have to figure out why the demo database has had it’s security messed up. (probably my fault actually, silly domain merge)

Unless of course google changed their publish options at which point I will handle publishing this after work. (actually on Saturday now)
