It's Been A Few Months

It's been a few months since I made a post here in the blog, so I thought it might be a good idea to drop on by and give folks something to read.

Zamani (http://zamani.pbwiki.com) has been in playtest for over 8 weeks now with a group of local tabletop players at Pandemonium Books & Games in Central Square Cambridge. We've been doing system and setting design, edit and expansion as we go and so far I'm being relatively happy with the results.

It has been a bit more time-intensive than originally expected, but that's beacuse I've gotten a lot more feedback from the players on the system and setting than I've managed with many other playtest groups.

I haven't been involved in too many other game design discussions over the past few months, as I just haven't found much to comment on or that really sparked my interest in the many roleplaying design blogs and livejournals out there.

My Livejournal (unquietsoul5) posts have been less frequent, but I manage usually at least a post daily there about gaming, life, the universe or reality in some way.

I have just recently started on another gaming project for the Western Ave Irregulars group, for play in a month or two down the road, using the Hero mechanic. This time it will be for something the system really was designed to do, an actual superhero game! (I haven't used Hero or anything else for that genre in nearly a decade).

I was playing in a Hero system Planescape setting game over the past few months, which has finished due to time constraints for the foreseeable future, and am about to play in a short single-scenario game of 'Albedo' with some friends who want to see how viable it's mechanics might be to transplant to a different setting.

I'll be back here to post something interesting when I think I have something valuable to pass along to folks in general.
