The week turns round and well still standing.
So choices on offer, and decisions to be made time. Here’s the conundrum - too little time and too many games. So time to rationalise because otherwise I start getting irritable and HW becomes violent. Both of which don’t really do me much good.
On the cards at the moment:
Amber - every couple of months around 20 players and well I’m running it;
Changeling - once a month, nice game and I have a nasty feeling seeing the relevant chap’s mails that may not be an issue soon;
UKM - occasional and rare but lots of fun up in the wilds of Leicester;
Neverwhere - every other month and lots of fun, just starting though;
SLA - quiet little game for friends that I run every now and then.
UKM II - possibility of an attempt at resurrection.
So realistically where’s the problem? Amber is really time intensive and quite frankly it’s worth it from my respect. However and here’s the bugbear, should UKM be raised from the dead then well that could be hideously expensive on time. Now I haven’t ever run a proper fangy game and my recollection of some of the attendees last time London was running really didn’t inspire me much. The world woodlice was used rather a lot as a collective noun by several of the organisers. The other problem is the moronic politics involved in running in a national game set up. Apologies to some of you out there, you may not be moronic but quite a few of the co-organisers. Well how can I put this nicely, they are well, scum. Hence a certain amount of reticence on my behalf here, do I really want to set up something that could steal my life away and cause me irritation at the same time?
Well that’s for me to muse over and hopefully I’ll make some sort of decision over the next couple of days. The ‘ling issue though is an absolute sod, the one game I really enjoyed appears to be crashing and the lovely chap running it extremely pissed off about the whole thing. My assumption is it’s related to the evil powers of Cam (not alas collapsed anti-matter) and their minions of doom.
So stuff in the news well:
Hague and Prescott seemed mildly entertaining.
