Just, y'know, games and stuff.
On Finishing the Design Contest, Bad Times on Internet Poker, and Celebrity Sex Tapes
Posted 7th March 2009 at 07:41 AM by Wik
So, the design contest is over. My game has been "finished", and it's getting some looks. I'm pretty happy with how things turned out. I've also been all primed up and ready to write some more stuff.... which is great.
Of course, I've only got two weeks or so to do this, because I start my Paramedic-Level first aid at the end of the month - and once that starts, writing will be on the backburner for a while. Which is too bad.
This contest gave me so much confidence in getting things done. I'm finding myself wanting to write something, and getting it published. Just some small PDF, you know? I wonder how many 4e publishers there are out there - I have an idea, and I'm working on it as we speak... er... type.
In other news, I've decided that I should stick to RPGs. I just lost around 50 bucks on internet poker in the last two hours, and I lost another 25 last night. I was up around 30 bucks before I started this slide, so I'm really only down 45 bucks. But, considering how a bad month for RPG purchases is around 45-50 bucks, that really puts things in perspective.
Also, here's an idea for all you budding designers out there - Unearthed Arcana. For fourth edition. I know people have mentioned something like it, but trust me. If one were to write a good one, it'd sell like hot cakes. Actually, scratch that. I don't even know what "hot cakes" really are, so they can't be selling that well.
It'd sell like a good celebrity sex tape.
throw in some rules that "fix" rituals, healing surges, skills, craft skills, and all those other "faults" that people gripe about. Try to find a system that would house-rule out powers. And just have a field day with all the other minor tweaks. It'd be a great book.
