Long time, no post...

Hey all...

I am sorry for the delayed post.  I have recently gotten a job that has been sucked up a majority of my time.  Even cut into my gaming a little.

No, the podcast hasn't faded yet.  But, it might be another week or so before we get one up.  Holidays and family always trump gaming and podcasting, IMHO.

There are a few reasons I have decided to come to the blog today.

First, is to tell you about Zak's cool Type V idea.  I just finished looking over it.  It has a bunch of very cool ideas.  I will probably steal a few in my own quest to try and make a DIY ruleset.  Don't agree with everything, but there few nitpicks over a majority of good ideas.

The second and third reasons are to tell you about some podcasts out there.

One is Fear the Boot.  The episode linked I listened to last night and it has me thinking about many things game related.  Mostly about encumbrance and gaming in general.  I highly recommend listening to their backlog--yeah it is massive, they have been doing it for years.

The other is a neat little podcast I'm listening to about OD&D. Here is the link.  Just started listening to it.  Also, gets me thinking about looking over the original Holmes game and how far and how different the game has become over the years.

Hope to be posting again soon...

Just a quick post...

Though I have not talked about him ChicagoWiz's blog was pretty good.  I say was because he has ended his blogging.  He has set up something on his last post, see the link above, with his words of wisdom and thoughts on these games that we play.  I for one, will miss him.

Also, it is kinda interesting to see that he went on for three years.  I wonder how long this blog of mine will go on.

Makes you think...
