Back from Wisconsin, and what a glorious trip without worrying about work calling me it was. I got a bit of writing done, both WoWFic–including starting a new story, “Family Ties“–and work on Epsilon (Jen mentioned last night after her perusal that there was a marked shift between Sam Cooper’s attitude toward Aaron in one scene and her reaction to him the next morning. I promised her it’d make sense later).
I’m still working in part on the revitalization efforts for Sentinels (US) — the RP community has suffered since the opening of Wyrmrest Accord and everyone has seen a sharp decline in numbers. But at the same time as it’s brought out the lazy in some folks, it’s brought out the best in others. One of the new blogs on the blogroll is one of those “bests” — Ravine of Lichbane has started a new blog with fiction and discussion of RP issues that I plan to be following closely myself.
Other recent addition to the blogroll is Erik’s blog. I’ve known Erik and gamed with him for a long time (back since the days when I was almost exclusively doing things ISRP). Lately, he’s been getting his campaign setting ready to hopefully query more gaming companies with. I’ve seen bits and fragments of it, and while 4E is Greek to me, the flavor bits and pieces (which I think he really wanted me to pay attention to) are looking pretty good.
Also poked at Aurora Force with a stick, got set up for Michael Bullian’s tragic death at the Battle of Ithor. I probably need to start drafting how that’s going to happen so I have it together and ready to go when we get that far. If we ever get that far.
All in all, considering I spent several hours by a pool every day I was away, it was a pretty productive trip! I’ll have to post pictures up here soon.
