So I guess I Should Start Rocking.

Like a hurricane.

Some of the games that I will be transcribing here:

Blackstone Acquisitions and Security Solutions, Unlimited (BASS, Ult)
This is a D&D 4th edition game that I am taking over as GM. I will post a summation of events leading up to the time when I assume control as a GM, including character profiles and the like. My first session as the GM - and not a player - is in two days (Sunday, the 12th).

The Devil's Own
A Serenity RPG in which I play Dr. Ben Jamnyn (pronounced YA-min, though most just say jammin'). I will be cataloging events as an in-character personal diary. The characters in this game and the situations we find ourselves in are just too rich to pass up.

Shadows In Flames
An old, old Werewolf game (2nd edition revised) I ran back in the summer of 2000 - my first stint as a GM. I'm still proud of how this game turned out, and I have been meaning to write down the events that transpired for years now. Here's a good excuse.

So there's a few things to look forward to. Hopefully I'll be able to subvert my sporadic writing schedule and I'll find myself posting regularly on this blog.

I may find some other games to write about that I half-remember, most likely the somewhat failed All Roads Lead to Amber Game, which fell apart midgame due to a hemorrhaging of players, or the 7th Sea Adventure that ended just when it was getting interesting... but those are for another time.

So here I am.

What to say, what to say...

Really, I have no idea where to begin. The posts that follow will be synopses of game sessions that I have had the privilege of running, or perhaps just been another player in. In most circumstances, I have found myself amidst roleplayers of superb excellence, and it would be tantamount to a sin not to transcribe the lives of the amazing characters that I have witnessed. The stories they have written, the glory, infamy and/or downright competency they have displayed would go to waste if it were simply hidden in our heads. I intend to, in many posts, recount the legends which have arisen in my time leading and living fictional lives, and so do their memories justice.

I might at this time mention a major source of inspiration for the creation of this blog, and what drove me to create this space in which to record my thoughts: Shamus Young, with his long, almost novel-worthy account of the game he led through a compelling adventure, and his encouragement towards other Game Masters to share their works. He has many thoughts on a variety of modes of gaming, and his blog is worth a gander.
