So, it’s almost the end of the day, and I could actually leave right now if I wanted to. And then the weekend is here.
Of course, this is the wrong weekend. There’s no game this week.
However, I have a lot of game work to do. I’m in the exciting phase, the early days of planning a new campaign where every idea is great and the potential seems limitless. This next campaign will and Eberron campaign run with Savage Worlds rules rather than D&D. The theory is that Savage Worlds runs “pulp” style games better than D&D, and my players are enjoying SW and aren’t interested in going back to D&D. So I’ve been working on a hack for Eberron in Savage worlds.
There’s some good work out there. A fine gentleman named Christian Serrano has created an entire conversion document that lays out his approach to the setting — and he’s made some excellent design choices in there. Of course, I wouldn’t be a card carrying uber-nerd if I didn’t quibble over a few things and want to make my own changes to his version, so now I have created my own.
Another change I’m contemplating is moving away from Obsidian Portal. I’ve been using their tools for quite some time now, and I like them, but they’re an added expense and I don’t think my players are getting much use out of it. I can provide the same sort of functionality they’re getting with this site and with google docs.
So, that’s a start. It’s going to be exciting.
