Projects

This new blog has been created by me for a number of reasons. One of the main ones of which is to help me keep track of numerous little projects that I am working on while in Japan, and hopefully, to get some external input on them from friends back home. So as a first post I though I would try outline some of the current things I have been working on.

Perhaps the main side project I have at the moment is my work on a Western RPG. For this I have been doing much reading and researching. I'm still very much in the planning stage but things are slowly moving. I will soon be looking at picking and partly inventing a suitable location to run the majority of the in game events. I've decided that the best thing to do is use a few factual locations a people of the West but invent most of it manipulating facts and fiction. I have yet to fully decide on a system but so far it looks like it will be two systems depending on the particular power level I decide to run things at. I recently picked up an RPG - "Gunslingers & Gamblers" which contained loads of useful info, and the Streamlined edition had a really nice set of simple rules that should work for a more realistic/ gritty style of game. All in all things are moving quite smoothly and I hope soon to start typing out some of my ideas.

Technically one of the other things I'm tinkering with is Blogs. I'm hoping to get round to sorting out a slightly better layout to both my blogs at some point but am finding blogger to be a bit of a headache when you try do slightly more complex things with it. Maybe I'll look into other systems but more likely I'll either do nothing or try do the best I can with what I've got.

Well, that's enough for now. More later maybe.....
