CARP has a gameday coming up and
Weekend in Gothic Earth
is at the end of the month. My gaming schedule has accellerated almost
out of control. While I'm enjoying myself, I barely have time to
breathe!
Friday night I ran the first half of a
Living Death scenario (
Medicine Bones, very good!), with the second half on Monday night. Saturday was a
day-long slot zero for WiGE. Keith Hoffman, husband of Our Dark
Mistress (Claire, the campaign director) the author of the scenario
(Medicine Quest, also a super scenario) drove up to run it for the
Michigan contingent. I'm proud to say that Michigan provides
around half (sometimes more) of the GMs for WiGE, as well as a fair
number of players.
I've ranted about the wonderfulness that is Living Death in this space
before. It's all role playing and it rocks. Play it. Nuff
Said.
Sunday I ran two scenarios for a relatively new, non-RPGA campaign called
Legends of the Shining Jewel.
It's a high fantasy D&D 3.5 campaign, and it's just a riot.
I've only played the first two scenarios (and run them once now as
well), but I have to say that I'm very impressed with the style and
quality. There are lots of opportunites to role play, some
politics and intrigue, and a fight or two (actually scaled for the
party level, unlike the RPGA's lamentable Legacy of the Green
Regent. It's all Open Gaming Source material, and I think it's
going to have legs. Jae-bob says play it.
Tomorrow we playtest the October
MSU Shadows scenario.

kirkt68 is the author and GM,
and it is also a huge amount of fun. The characters are all White
Hats -- no Heroes or Slayer. We're all poor schlubs thrashing
around trying to deal with the supernatural on the campus of
Michigan State University.
My character is a terribly neurotic graduate student who is saddled
with pretty much every psychic power there is. She sees dead
people, she sees demons, she gets flashes from objects and people, and
now she's involuntarily reading minds. Her closest friend is her
cat Fitzhugh, though she's starting to bond with the rest of this
unlikely batch of Scoobies. It's great fun.
Thursday we play the
Living Spycraft scenario (Winter of Discontent) so that there are GMs
who have played it and can run it on the gameday. In Spycraft I play a
snoop/fixer whose code name is Woodstock. She's short, skinny,
has a shock of yellow hair in a color not found in nature, and a nose
like a macaw. In other words, she looks a great deal like
Snoopy's long-time companion.
Saturday I'm helping out at Fortress Games with
World Wide D&D Day till 5 pm, and then I'm off to
Daggerford, Adam's home campaign,
where I play a halfling mage with an affinity for wild magic and her sights
set on becoming an archmage.
Sunday it's off to the
Michigan Mythos Militia to run some
Call of Cthulhu for my fellow cultists. I recently became a Missionary for
Cthulhu, and will be running "Under the Greenwood Tree", set in the
Dark Ages in Sherwood Forest. Heh. Heh. Heh. I'm running the same scenario,
along with "The Mystery of April Snow" at
U*Con
in November, so this will give me a chance to work the kinks out.
Whew. I'm going to need a vacation from my time off! But I have to say...
it's good to be in the center of so much gaming opportunity!
