Testola

Just a test to see how the space between entries looks.

Time for an update on Stories from the Shelter

Cross-posted form LiveJournal:

I just realized it's been a while since I posted an update, so here goes.

I'm nearly done with the first draft of the Aliens Revisited section. I'm finishing up the Cholak entry right now, leaving only the Sheolin entry, which is half done. I still need to go back over each entry to see which ones I listed as having colonies, so I can put in some guidelines for travel times between them.

After that, I think I'll move on to the Sample Characters section. I want to include a dozen or so samples for people to work with. Ideally, I'd like to take each sample through the five paces to show how the character would differ in each one. I may settle for doing that for just a few. I'll be stealing the characters of everyone who has playtested and modifying them to fit the newest CharGen scheme. Let me know if you don't want your character included for some reason. Plus, I'll have to come up with a few new ones to round things out.

There are one or two other small things that need doing, but they slip my mind right now.

Oh, I'll be trying to run a game at Genericon this year (Jan 23–25). I'll run the segment I was preparing for last year, which I tested as the first mission for my current game. The team of five pulled it off in three hours, with all but one of them being new to the game, but experienced gamers. So, I think it should be suitable.

I don't mind telling you, I'm daunted by this prospect with a capital D.

Slaintè,
