Current Games
I went to a Work Christmas Dinner last night and got talking to one of the guys there about the games we play. Poor guy doesn't have a regular game, or regular game group. Anyhow he used to play Mage by White Wolf, so at least he is on the right track. I have only played Mage once at a convention [GENCON] and I had a pretty good time with it.
Anyhow I wanted to talk about the games I am currently playing. Some folks on this blogs list what music they are listening to at the time... I am going to list games.
I am currently playing Final Fantasy XI, and Space Empires IV . FFXI is new and hot. One of the best looking games I have ever played. Not sure its the most fun though, as its hard sometime to find good groups of other people to play with you.
On the Table top I am playing Bloodbowl, which is sort of a Fantasy Football game. Although in this case Fantasy means Orcs, Trolls and Dwarves! I'll talk more about this is later posts. The other game I am playing... Err running is Silver Age Sentinels. Its a super hero role playing game. Currently the group is about to square off against Juggernaut and hit friend Black Tom. Links to the websites for both games are to the left.
I am also very into the game Exalted . Although I am neither running it nor am I playing it at this time. I was running the game for almost 2 years, but put the game on hold this summer. I would like to start it back up at some point but Supers has to run its coarse first. I have been using my Exalted time off to think of things that we can do to further the story, keep it more local to the south and still feel epic. More large scale battles, more politics and more saving the world.
I also have been trying to think of some short stories to write about the setting. I have some ideas about a power mad God Blooded who is leading a nation in his Solar fathers absence. The story would tell the tale of the fathers return, alone with his Sidereal advisor, and how the Solar deals with his sons folly. The story will be told from the point of view of the Sidereal advisor though, and that really will be the catch. The Sidereal might get some ideas on how to deal with the Solars as the great curse embraces them.
