But the blog is still alive I assure you. And though most of my writing is still sprawled in note books as extremely rough drafts, I am still writing.
The main focus of my writing has been rules for my home brew simplified travel game (which I am glad I got nailed down for the most part before Christmas, because simple is all I had time for over the holidays). This is a Fudge meets Mythic love affair that I am enjoying immensely and want to polish a little more before I spring it on you here. It is mostly analog with 1 roll resolution for most tasks. It scales from peasant rat catcher to demigod in range, without changing its complexity (much). I think it will be a nice addition to anyone gaming on a tight time budget, as long as they enjoy narrative style play.
I took on a totally fool hardy task of cataloging various solo gaming styles. That is going to be a slow burn project, but I am not backing out, just pushing it down the line a bit.
I am also making notes about re-vamping the Mythic Index. As the focus of the magazines has shifted some, a few of the categories need refreshing, and reorganizing. I also want to add a chronological publication index, with a brief description of every article. That is a bit ambitious for now because....
I am nearing a major encounter in my personal story arch, of completing another professional certification. As you can imagine this sort of takes precedence over game tinkering, no matter how much I love it.
So I am going to wish you all a belated happy new year, and get back to you when I have another certification on my resume and a bit more time to write.
Thank your for your patients, readers.
Wizard Dad.
P.S.
The Mythic Index by Topic, while it does need a clean up, is still being updated every month, so no lag in the, hopeful, usefulness of that resource.
