Regurgitating onto Blogger
I'm writing a special report today about a rather dull topic, so I needed a few minutes to just take my mind off said topic and do some creative personal writing. The title of this post just kind of popped into my head. When a writer sits down to just start scribbling out some ideas or a rough draft of a piece, it's sometimes referred to as "regurgitating onto the page." Well, there are no physical pages when you're writing a blog, so I figured I'm regurgitating onto Blogger. Not a pretty picture, eh?
I've been pretty busy lately with work and with preparing for this past Sunday's D&D session, and I've been quite lazy in regards to my Vampire: The Masquerade play-by-email chronicle. Trying to gets things going again after a summer of little activity in the group is quite difficult. Add in the fact that I've committed to doing a couple of side projects for some gaming Websites, and I'm somewhat swamped. My priority list is also out of whack, and I'm having some difficulty sorting it out.
Thinking a lot about pen-and-paper gaming over the last couple of months. I'm glad to be back on track with the Greyhawk campaign. Unfortunately, my Rifts: Escape From Lone Star campaign has fallen off the radar until I can find some more hours in the day. Ugh. And there's a couple of people who would like me to run a Mechamorphosis game. I definitely haven't been able to put anything substantial together for that.
We're having a barbecue on Labour Day weekend. It's happening on Sunday afternoon rather than Monday, mainly because Jacquie doesn't want to have people over the day before the first day of school.
Rawl and I recently lost our coffee shop. Just Desserts in Pickering has closed up shop, and we're scouring the area for something else that's similar. No luck so far. We spent Monday night at a Second Cup, of all things. And then the shop closed down at 9:00 and booted us out. Not good when we don't even get together until 8:30.
The new World of Darkness core rulebook and Vampire: The Requiem are both out. I saw them at Wyldstar on the weekend. It's nearly $30 for the WoD book and another $50 for V:tR. I have some interest in looking at the books, but I don't think I want to actually run the game (which some people are calling WoD 2.0). So it's a bit too much of an investment just to satisfy my curiosity. I noticed that DriveThruRPG has a chapter from V:tR for free download this week. I might download it and take a look. Haven't made up my mind yet. Funny thing is the chapter that's available for download is the setting information for New Orleans. My V:tM PBeM chronicle is set in the old WoD's New Orleans setting. I'd like to know what they did with the new WoD New Orleans setting.
There. Now that I've emptied my brain onto the page, I can go back to working on this article.
