Better Days
Aug. 25th, 2008 08:08 amI finished reading Hot War this weekend, and I'm quite impressed with it. The setting material is remarkably grim, but it certainly offers opportunity for some great gaming. I would dearly love to run a short game of this to see how the mechanics for emulating trust and agendas work.
Started re-reading World on Fire (Spycraft), since I'm thinking about using that setting for the upcoming game. I started sketching out characters last night, and I do believe I'm going to start them all off at first level. My curiosity about mapping out progress through the career is getting the best of me.
Abandoned the Star Wars game I'd planned in favor of Risk 2210AD yesterday. Couple of new members of the Meetup group joined OGBJim and me, and we had a good time. My play style remains entirely too conservative for any real success at the game, but sometimes it's fun to be the guy who can wreck somebody else's offensive with exceedingly lucky die rolls.
Cancelled my hotel reservation for Archon - or have I already mentioned that? I was torn about it, as Archon's always a good time, but I'm just not all that excited about going this time around. I've had this feeling for a while that maybe I've had all of the fun that Archon has to offer me. A year from now, I may be champing at the bit to get out there again, but for 2008, it's just not happening for me.
Time to get stuff together and head towards the office. Should find out which of my friends are leaving today or tomorrow.
