NOT a New Year's Resolutiion

Well, here it is 2009. I've decided to write every day and am starting here. Gonna shoot for regular posts on Tuesdays. Not a resolution, I just want to get back into the swing and need to give myself a schedule to do all the computer-centric stuff I'm wrapped up in. Here goes...

It's lining up to be quite a year. I've got the monthly SF game, and a gaming event (convention, minicon, etc) already lined up in January, February and March. There might be an event in April and the end of May Is Kubla! Labor Day weekend is PacifiCon and likely another event a month or so later. During all of this I'm going to push my own event in December.

I'm looking to do something I'm calling the Dead of Winter Horror RPG Invitational. This would be two days of gaming at the Brookdale Inn & Spa, just up HWY 9 from my house. It would be all horror RPG's. There would also be a Friday meet & greet. The Brookdale Inn (formerly Brookdale Lodge) is a haunted location. It's in the process of being renovated and should be totaly done by the time Dead of Winter happens (December 12-13). I'm hoping to have about 20 people attend. Pitched it to the SF group and they liked the idea. I'll require that everyone stay Fri & Sat nights. We'll see how it goes. Gonna need to get the Terror Rabbit website up & running for it. Should be interesting to go online with that.

Of course the weekly game continues. I'm now running CyberPunk. I'm doing a scenario I already ran for the SF group, which is mostly a published adventure (The Osiris Chip - with my own flair, natch). This is to get everyone used to the system. We'll then generate new characters and go from scratch. The Players have agreed to run straight with this (no foolin' around). It should be interesting. Already looks like I'm gonna need to have a talk with one of the Players about keeping with the tone of the game. More as this progresses.

Lots happening and I'll do my best to keep regular posts. From here on out I'll be up front, honest and likely brutal.
