It’s a Circus out here!

July 21, 2009 by The Chatty DM

To say that I’m busy would be a gross understatement.

I’m slowly getting accustomed to working full time after 5 months of sick-leave.

However, my freelance to do list starts here and ends up somewhere behind Saturn… or so it seems to me.

Here’s a little sample:

  • Build the One Page Dungeon PDF with Chgowhiz.
  • Read the Goodman Games Adventure for the Gen Con Tournament
  • Write a D&D 4e adventure for this year’s Drunken D&D event at Gen Con
  • Squeeze in a few Blog posts, including a guest post on an Ennies nominated Website
  • Plus various non-RPG related things that need my attention

While I hack at this list, why don’t you visit  Jeffrey, Mark and Zach’s little Podcast project called The RPG Circus.   I had the great pleasure of being a guest host last week and we discussed many subjects, like the Ennies, Small Press RPGs, Balance in games, using Movies for RPG inspiriration and landing your first RPG writing project.

I must confess that I’m really starting to like podcasting.  Were I still the old Phil to start one hundred projects at the same time, I’d seriously consider starting my own show.  But I’ll focus on being a guest on shows instead of landing myself in more trouble than I already am.

Anyway, podcasters, know that I’m available and love to talk 🙂  I ain’t Chatty only on the blog.

I’ll be back soon.  I may even post something tonight.  But I have to organize my time before everything collapses on me.

Talk tou you soon!

    “Drunken D&D”? Doesn’t sound like an official event.

    It’s the result of an intensive study, that proved that most group drinks alcohol beverage while playing D&D. It helps with the number. I know, we where pretty much drunk at the last session and we manage to handle the remaining life of 20 zombie minion with our mind alone. Anyway point is, this is a Budweiser boot at gencon that is going to run a “special” D&D game with their “marketing staff”. It should bring some new blood in the hobby.

    Just in case… I’m joking… 😉

    @David: If you can find our room at the Omni on Wednesday night, you are invited to watch the game and join in the drinking fun!

    There should be an elaborate series of clues and mysteries that, if deduced, can lead people to the Drunken D&D room. 😀 It’s funny how the end of the game last year is so much less clear to me than the beginning, perhaps playing a sarcastic bastard character only got WORSE with the drinking? 😀

    I’m so proud of you for not starting so many projects these days that you can’t handle them!

    Sure, let’s create an elaborate Alternate Reality Game with all clues leading to our Hotel Room. He he he.

    Seriously, I’m glad I mellowed out some so I can focus on few things I see to the end. The One Page Dungeon PDF is going to be awesome!

    WhatMs that I hear about an Adventures with Kobolds as PCs? Never head of it.
