14 years, 1 Month. Everything has changed. Holy Shit.

I am no longer who I was.

I am still running games though, always will. I am far less depressed.

That I could look ahead and see this.

Mortal Remains for Hunter: The Vigil, my first published writing for a roleplaying supplement, came out yesterday. Hope folks who pick it up enjoy it.

So at this point, this eljay is 12 years old. Wow. That’s certainly something. It's also been almost a year since I posted ( Read more... )

I cannot help but wonder, is my running games and using my creativity for such a thing, while excellent for entertaining people, wasting my creative talents somewhat? I run 2-3 nights a week, and entertain a total of about 15 people a fortnight, some several times, not counting APs, which get thousands of views. I don't have anything specific in ( Read more... )

We discussed it, and Rada decided to finish the (then new) story they were on and do 3 at Legend 12, while Petro decided to finish the (then new) story they were on and do 1 ( Read more... )

I'm working on getting ready for my Vampire: The Masquerade game tonight. How are you doing?
