Table News, 5 Nov 15

I kinda got a bit burned-out on writing recaps and blogging-type stuff—this isn’t my usual thing, really. Plus I’d really prefer to post some more useful stuff than progress-reporting, but I haven’t come up with anything yet. So I’m lagging behind a little. Here’s my progress-report 😛

I’m still pushing hard on Terra Nova, and making good progress. I’ve got a fairly-strong basis for the intro, some of the characters are starting to take proper shape (and I successfully convinced that wayward player to join in), and I’ve sorted out some of the important tech-related issues. I’ve started working on the wiki entries. I need to do more work on the map—there are a lot of places I need to identify, at least, that the show doesn’t cover. I need to finalize some dino stats; I need to pick up Big Lizzie so I have those 4e stats available. And I’m still dithering a bit on some of the NPC casting.

I’m not sure where TN will end up in the Friday rotation, but the current campaign is about to wrap, so it’s moving closer. The situation for the Saturday group is the same, and my scheduled mini-startup for the Inception campaign is within sight, but since I’ve been progressing so well on the TN campaign, I’m hesitant to switch gears, so I may delay it—depends on how long the new campaign-rotation, Traveller, ends up running.

In the meantime, I’m forcing myself to get past my writer’s burnout. And I’m planning a guest-GM one-shot for the Traveller campaign—something new we’re trying over there, to get the GM a chance to play a bit of Traveller himself. I’ll be sure to post some after-thoughts on that when it happens.
