New challenge for new tech.

Beginning new experience.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have been trying to find ways to communicate via Internet with other gamers. Was having a hard time with the communication due to typing skills being rather lackluster. I'm now trying new voice-activated software to assist with my development of writing skills.

It seems to be working rather well it's helping me develop what I call my head in a jar mentality where I could communicate with others that share similar interests. This also allows me to move beyond my chimeric lead challenged skills with the computer. I have always been told that I do not write as eyes open and that my spoken words show up higher development of the English language. This so thanks to modern technology and a new laptop and unfortunately a fall I have invested in this software.

Hopefully this will lead to longer and better developed articles, blog entries, and written communication with all of my gaming friends. :-) I would like to thank all of the followers of my blogs for their support over the year and with the encouraging e-mails that they are sent. I will now attempt over the next week to post new encounter each day by midnight to challenge myself and this new technology.

So I will begin the challenge and rise to the occasion. :-) Classes

Game Mastering thoughts.

What do Game Masters really want? They want a group of good size but not to small nor to large. They want people to roleplay but to move the adventure along and not bog down. They want a group tohave some internal conflict but not to lose it cohesion They would like thier adventures to be deadly but not to be a killer DM they want thier players to have power but not to much that they have a cake walk They want to have prep time but love to fly by the seat of thier pants.

As a Game master I found that the best way to handle this is to concentrate on just having fun when you game. give everyone a chance and just concentrate on fun factor. Relaxing and just giving the PC's enough to do but not to over load them make sure they take notes to help remind them of the tasks they are working on and important NPC's and information. I alwaysed look at running a gane like a movie very few movies are over two to three hours so gaming sessions should be set toio have a break at a good plot time for food and restroom breaks.

If usiong minis allow them to help set the scene our group played at a small table so it was decided to forgo the mini and leave the snakes in the middle. It requiredthat I develop a mire verbal GM style for combat and give it a more even flow. We also movevd to 10 secound per round six rounds per combat turnwith intative added largest roll going first with a NASA style countdown to one and then a restart on the next round. the PC's could then occupy themselves with otherthings until their action was needed.


Things have been very chaotic with my illness raising up it ugly head and an increase in my pain medication to help me get back to normal. we hope to be having a Pathfinder campaign get started shortly. But hopefully I can get back to updating my blogs and harrassing people on Facebook.

Just an analog person in a digital age

While enjoying a very productive day of writing at the coffee shop I notice that I was the only one going old school amounst the black berries and lap tops I sat having fun just wrinting with my I-Pad from the late twenth century and has I browsed the web I came across this picture from The Lost Fort Blog.

Follow me to the Year of the Dungeon

Cool site I found not to long ago.

Cool maps and very nice items

Encounter drwings

Here are the room encounter art sceaches that i worked up on my non-crashable i-pad with a graphic number two interface.

It was a lot of of fun thinking like an adventure that wanted to document what he has found and get back to the really old school roots of just pencils paper and dice but with the internet through in to show it to others.

What has been keeping me busy

Bread for fundraising to help a Church in El Salvador train bakery skills to those in need.

First test batches have been very delouse but time consuming on learning our Church's ovens hot spots. Hope to get some gaming in tonight with the boys.
