Gaming Thoughts
Jun. 11th, 2009 02:40 amIt occurs to me that there's been some upheaval in the state of my gaming lately, and it's a good thing to address.
See, there's been some disruption in my regular group- the one game that we've got going has a lot of players, and there's been a lot of stress and some burnout going on amongst the players/dms who've gotten sick of others in the group. There was a bit of a blow-up, but that's hopefully going to not shatter things completely. The only thing is, I think some of the other irritants, who weren't called out in the explosion, are being a bit clueless. The big game that's been the source of the major irritations is the only one left running right now- Champions has been put on hiatus on account of the GM having a class, and the one where we're all Vikings fighting werewolves has evaporated stillborn due to burnout.
So- I'm really hoping this all works out, but I'm worried that putting more stress on top of an explosion isn't going to do anyone any good.
Warnings about background aside, other gaming stuff on my mind- I still need to work up the orc encampment for my next Barbarian Princess installment, and I was going over a thread in our gaming board today for "Campaign Ideas" and it got me to thinking about what to suggest. My latest obsession is Avatar: the Last Airbender, and I found that website where they did a D20 adaptation of it- and it occurred to me, just how much I want to be able to play it. Not run it- but play. I would love to get a chance to build a character from the ground up and just go exploring in the Avatar universe under a competent GM who knows and loves the material. I know that there are RP boards for Avatar online, but when there's powers and such to be thrown around, I tend to like table-top more than online, at least to start. Lemme roll some dice!
Anyone in the Chicago area doing so with said system, lemme know.
