| September 19 - I tried to get a real blog up here for the front page, but the operator interface was proving unwieldy, so I chose to return to this form. The past few weeks have been frightfully busy with Dragon*Con plopped in the middle of it all. The campaigns have been moving forward, even with all the absences we have had during the summer. Hopefully those are coming to an end soon. In tne New Urkana campaign, we are getting close to wrapping up the King of the Trollhaunt Warrens campaign arc. The group is currently approaching mid-paragon level. In the Old Republic campaign of Star Was, the group has reached the derlict, found the cargo the Twi'lek scoundrel sent them for, but seem to have some unwelcome and quite hostile guests. NukeHavoc on Twitter recommended the Order 66 Podcasts on the D20 Radio site. For those who enjoy the Saga Edition of the Star Wars RPG, these are fantastic. In the Eberron campaign, the group is finished at the Whispering Cairn, and has reached 3rd level, but are about to find some trouble in town. WotC must have really liked the Age of Wyrms adventure path, because they keep translating elements of it to 4E, making my job significantly easier. The Eberron group should be encountering another tranlsated item here shortly. On the Traveller front, I posted a review of the MPG Traveller core rulebook on the Traveller Freeport site. I have also (finally) posted the first chaper of Listen to Tomorrow. Big post here, but I've been quiet for awhile and there is a lot to catch up on. Geo |

| October 3rd - Wow, it is October already. Things have been busy, busy, busy around here and very little of it game related. In the Urkana campaign, we are close to wrapping up the Trollhaunt arc. The group is in the Feywild and closing in on the troll king. In the Eberron campaign, the group is close to the end of the Whispering Cairn arc. They are close to 4th level. If they don't make it by the end of the arc, there might be a small side quest before the beginning of Three Faces of Evil. In the Star Wars campaign, the group has discovered some Mandaloreans and are finishing with them before taking the salvaged cargo back to their patron. How much they will be able to salvage for themselves remains to be seen. With no active campaign going in Traveller, it unfortunately gets the back burner treatment. I'll try to get another installment of Look to Tomorrow up this coming week. I have caught up on the back podcasts of Order 66 and have started listening to Radio Free Hommlet. This podcasts is for 4E and gets down into the crunchy parts of that system. I have also started listening to a new podcasts, The City of Doors, which deals more with the fluff of 4E. Their first episode hade a wonderful breakdown of how to use each of the Dragonmarked houses as villains in Eberron. A4E beware. Order 66 and Radio Free Hommlet can be found at www.d20radio.com. The City of Doors is part of the D20 radio group, but isn't on the feed yet. It is available at http://feeds.feedburner.com/cityofdoors. Geo |

| December 5, 2011 - As some of you may have observed, I have abandoned the Word Press blog. The blog portion was fine, but I could not change the buttons on the side, so I have ultimately decided to go back to this. If I have news or announcements, I will post them here and keep the back entries until I run out of page and then the oldest ones will fall off. As most of you know by now, I have exited from DnD. It is time to move on to something different. I will be resuming games starting the first Saturday in January. The first game I will run will be a Savage Worlds version of Steampunk Urkana. I will be updating the background and adding player information as I go along. Steampunk Urkana will be a transition game until I am comfortable enough with the system to run Savage Worlds: Red Sands, which is their Space:1889 Setting. I love the Space:1889 setting and look forward to running this in the future. I have also begun working on scratchbuilt models again. At present, I am working on a steam driven riverboat, similar to the one from African Queen. I am using this as a warm-up for my next project which will probably by a Space:1889 screw galley. I hope to post a galley of my models and pictures of my progress in the near future. Geo |
