Things change…we all know that, I’m sure.

The Terra Nova campaign took too long to spin up, and interest wasn’t as strong as it needed to be, so it fizzled. It occurs.

After some wrangling, the Friday (Core Group) group is pretty much settled on my next offering there: I’ll be running the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil in GURPS. Essentially, Dungeon Fantasy. The plan is to play low-level characters (75pts is being discussed for starters) with full harsh-realism settings in force—we’re expecting deaths. I’m planning to use a new meta-system to allow proposition wagering of unused character points on things like “who dies first,” etc.; I’ve been studying up on how sports betting works so I can do it right. This dungeon has a reputation for being difficult to survive, of course, and not a lot of opportunity for the usual role-playing, so I’m considering this an “experiment”—it could be incredibly annoying or wildly amusing. I’ll be posting whatever information I can in preparation for the first run as soon as I have it.

For the Saturday (Olympus) group, the current plan is still to pick up The Crusade where it left off. The group makeup has changed considerably since it first ran, and I’m pushing for character concepts from the new guys, at which point I will know more about when the campaign will occur. I really liked this campaign, and I’m looking forward to a recurrence (for once 😛 ), but time is always my enemy in these matters. I do have a unique problem with this one, though: where do I post the play-logging? Olympus has its own blog, so I haven’t decided whether it would be best to do the writeups here and link to them there, or vice versa. But I can work that out later.
