Major Update

So I haven't disappeared off the face of the Earth? That's right, I'm still here and I'm still working on my game!
I have made a change though. I dropped the Board game part. I just could not get the mechanics to work out. So now I'm making a (an?) RPG! Last night I had my econd pre-alpha testing.
The first test was just me and my fiance. Just to see if there was anything there. It went well. This time I 'DMed' for four players. It was a lot of fun.
We have to continue the campaign I started,but,this gave me some insight into some balancing errors. Mostly in the careers portion. I'll be looking into that.
So that's where I am, creating an RPG, possibly only for my friends.
Happy gaming!

Blog Two: Begining Developement

I spent several hours devoloping rules and mechanics yesterday. I introduced the ideas to two of my best friends and they had a lot of positive feed back and ideas to try.

When I have the chance I'm going to a craft store and getting supplies to create a working model. This will be easier said than done of course. But I have some exciting and doable (key word of course) ideas for the proto type.

One reason it is easier said than done is cash. I have a large cash fow issue currently. I'm unemployed (though that might change really soon) and between finding my wedding dress (getting married in about a year) and going to dragon con, my savings are underwheming for the moment.

I'm not complaining. If I was working right now, I would have less free time. So I'm just trying to enjoy that for once. This is the first real tim of from school I've ever had. So I'm trying to enjoy it.

I'm currently writing the first campain. I can't wait to get a prototype so I can test out logistics. I mean just because it looks good on paper, doesn't mean it plays well.

Game on and DFTBA,
Des M.
