[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 2052288, member: 812"] Well, I already know Monsternomicon backwards and forwards, and Lock and Load as well. I'm very familiar with the broad strokes of the setting, at any rate. I won't even bother with the Warmachine stuff, so there's just the Character Guide (which I've been through once) and the World Guide, if I decide I need it. I don't need to know it perfect, I just need to know it enough to be able to bluff. My players don't know a thing about it, so that gives me some leeway. What I'm finding right now is that in order to develop adventures for my party on a weekly basis, I'm needing to develop huge chunks of background material, which is really slowing me down. If the background material was already in place, I'd still have to read it over -- but for me that's much less intellectually taxing than inventing it. I'm getting really worn down running Barsoom, and I'm just coming off an extended hiatus, and heading into the final season... But I'm just EXHAUSTED after every session. I mean, I come home from the game session and just sit glassy-eyed on the couch for an hour. It's fun, but it's tiring and it's requiring levels of investment from me that I'm not sure I have... Maybe you're right and this will turn out to be just as wearisome. But I've never tried it before, so I reckon I should give it a whirl and see if it's my thing. It's your thang Do what you wanna do I won't tell you Who to sock it to [/QUOTE]
