PC’s Almost Back, Posts to start again
0So I know it’s been a long time since I’ve updated, but I have news on my PC troubles. My PC is almost fixed. Just need to finish loading all my software again, and we’ll be set to go. The motherboard I purchased had been backordered a couple weeks, then I had to get a new network card – whole thing was a giant mess.
Gaming wise – been enjoying Arfles Exalted game – I’m actually really impressed with the system. That, and feeling of having all that power is pretty cool. Herauk’s Pathfinder game had it’s first session post GenCon. I have yet to have a session since, for a number of different reasons.
On one hand, I have an ok story going right now, and am the butt of my players jokes for not doing longer lasting games. But on the other hand, I feel a little D20′d out. I love Pathfinder and Paizo, but for financial reason’s after the con, I cancelled my pre-orders for a bit to catch up, and I find I’m not really missing them. I just find myself at a point of re-assessing what I want to do with my game, how to best serve my players and myself, and how to help create a really great story. I’ve been reading more systems lately, Rifts, GURPS, Burning Wheel, L5R – and it made me sit down and think about how I didn’t start with D&D – why do I find myself trying to force a derivative as my system of choice.
Mostly it’s because I have players that are in love with the system – and that really helps keep interest in your game. Also, there’s opposition to change. I encounter it now with the exalted game – some get it, some don’t. Some enjoy learning a new system, other despise it, and only have cranial space for one system. So if I where to go and tell them “Hey – we have Pathfinder and Exalted going – now I’m going to teach you GURPS” – their head would explode. Or I’d be flamed into backing down.
Been thinking also about going through and just doing a couple one shots to see if it’s something I just need to get out of my system. Those that are interested in learning a new game – come over and we’ll try it. Any suggestions?
