friday, what to do?

Not much has been going on as far as gaming this week.  Our group took a break this week due to conflicting schedules, but we'll be ready to roll this Monday.  In a way it worked out.  It allowed me some extra time to work on the adventure they are going on.  When they are done I plan on putting it up for a free download. 

Yesterday I tempted fate by suggesting an OSR podcast and got a few replies, some said the market is saturated and I am sure it is, some said do a video (well actually James said it) and that would be cool too, but that is even more technology I would need to learn.  Some said it would be cool.  Usually in these cases when I am thinking of something like this I won't ask for public opinion.  I'll just do it and see what happens.  I know there are some good podcasts out there, but I guess I would like to see one more OSR centric.  I may get together with Rob Conley and see if we can come up with something.  He would be the tech guy and his knowledge of games and gaming is encyclopedic. 

Right now I am feeling like switching it up a bit.  I would like to get excited about a project again.  Starter Adventures is just waiting for maps so I can do the layout.  I'm looking forward to releasing it to get it off my table and move forward on the next. 

The next project will probably be Hydra related.  I'm more of a lurker at this point.  Seeing what others are doing and seeing how the group gels or segregates and go from there.  Some of the projects proposed I would definitely be interested in. Megadungeons are always interesting although I rarely use them.  It's tough to get a party through a normal sized dungeon.  Still, never did one and would be interested to see it constructed.

It's Friday.  Hope to get some good writing in this weekend.  The Whisk will be whisking so it will be just me and the pups who randomly terrorize me.  Have a good one folks and stay safe.  Snowing like crazy here.

Hydra, the Co-Op

I joined the co-op yesterday and I was immediately inundated with emails.  I rarely get email.  Whisk is the emailer.  She gets about fifty to my one.  After sifting through them I think the name they decided on was Hydra.  Good name.  It fits.  It goes along with what I think this group is going to be about.  From the introductions we have a diverse group of folks who all bring a lot of talent to the pool so if we can somehow organize and manage correctly I think some good things will come of it.

Projects are being discussed.  Philosophy and direction of the group are being discussed.  And what services we are providing are being discussed.  I won't get into all the legal crap because I don't know a damn thing about it.  All I want it to help some folks out if I can and get some help at times.  I do have a solid group of people around me now, but it never hurts to diversify and keep options open.

I haven't said much to the group.  I am more of lurker at this time.  But will offer my ideas when I have one worth saying.  Right now I am just trying to figure out the group, the personalities within, expectations and how much time I can invest into it. Should be fun.
