Tonight’s game was called on account of two players not showing up this evening, one was away at a badminton tourney and the other had family commitment to tend too. So, we just sat around and chatted about old adventures and campaigns we’ve been through, the various games that we liked to play and what not.

We were all jazzed to play some Cyberpunk but the others felt it wouldn’t be kosher to go on without the missing. And, that’s understandable since when we last left off was just a prelude to what was to come.

And after having three teeth extracted on Thursday afternoon, I could use the break in the action as well. We chatted about Star Wars and what episode VII might be about; also touched upon the role playing games using the Star Wars universe; West End Games and WOTC and if I were to start a SW campaign (sometime in the near future) what system would they like to play with.

d20 Star Wars seems to be their choice and I’m okay with that.  So, here I sit digging through some old notes and rewriting one of my first adventures I had written for Star Wars (the WEG version) and converting it over to the d20 system.

I’ve been on holidays for the past few days now and have caught up on my rest and fully rejuvenated. It’s been a few weeks since my last gaming session and now I’m recharged and ready to go. To tackle the dice and kicking the imagination into full gear now.

I’ve been working out a story arc for a Star Wars (d20 system) campaign. Basing it during the Clone Wars era and adventures involving the aspects of the movies but spinning off in a totally different direction. Sure, it might be a tad darker than the actual prequel movies, but that’s the way I wanna roll with this one.

Hopefully, the players will appreciate the adventures as we weave our own tale in a universe that George Lucas created, borrowed, liberated from other sources.

When you realize you’ve been rolling a d20 with numbers 0-9 twice instead of 1-20 and wondering why you couldn’t hit a damn thing all night.

That would scare the bejesus out of me if I saw that thing slithering through the inn.

Reminds me of a crazy nightmare I had a long, long time ago. I woke up in a cold sweat and was afraid to go back to sleep. I stayed up til dawn before sleep overtook me once again.

Damn you Cthulhu!

I picked this game up at Cangames a year or so back and put it up on my shelf and added to the collection of role playing games there. It was in a discount bin and the price tag was a mere $5 Cdn.

As I leafed through this 112 softcover book I didn’t think much of it, other than the skills and the alternate earth setting that it had to offer. So I bought it, read a little bit as I ordered lunch and thought it was the best five bucks I spent for a role playing game. After the convention I brought it home and filed it in my library and forgotten about it for a while, until recently when I was thinking of a simple Western game to run.

It’s clunky but the mechanics are simple enough to iron it out and make the game my own. The book lays out the foundation and the GM builds upon that.
