4 months between posts. That sounds about right. I never tend to have staying power – and with two little ones probably won’t have the time on top of it. But I may as well keep posting when I think of it, eh? Having somewhere to bang out the thoughts in my head will be good, for the times I need it.
The WoW D&D 5e game fell apart a couple weeks back, but I still have the notes and stuff. I was serious about putting some codification into that, and still intend to.
One of the things I have long wanted to do is find a way to bring World of Warcraft to life within the D&D experience. I know quite a bit about the world, thanks to years of play; and I want to recreate some of those early experiences for a group of folks who haven’t had the benefit of playing it for ages. Sure, I tried the briefly-lived RPG, and had fun in a play by post; but it fell apart and I’ve not played it since. When my Edge of the Empire game fell apart for my normal Sunday group, and folks decided they wanted to go back to fantasy, I realized that now would be the easiest time to try and bring my idea to life.
I rolled up some basic villains for them to start their quest on – Elwynn Forest is the one I know the best, so I made it that they were all bound for Goldshire on missions of their own. (We have a Worgen (shifter) fighter going eldritch knight, a Draeni (genasi) barbarian and a human paladin making up our little group.)
As things go on, I intend to start writing down my ideas both on the conversion I’m doing, and the storyline I’m building. I’m drawing heavily from vanilla World of Warcraft, so I’m thinking of playing through a few of the storylines – eventually winding up with them doing things like recovering the corrupted Ashbringer, forging Sulfuras or Thunderfury, things of that nature.
We’ll see how it goes!
Finally getting around to setting up a real one. I used to go through blogspot, but disliked how little I could really format in it. This is going to serve as a collection point for a lot of things – short stories, thoughts on story development (not that I’ve a lot of experience with that), ramblings on my favorite fandoms, and the occasional political rant.
I don’t expect anyone to read this – but it may become famous if I ever do – so I figure I may as well start as I mean to go on.
To-Do ideas:
Organize series of posts for my short stories in chronological order, where I can adjust said order later if I write to fill in some of the blank spaces. To include formatting and figuring how to customize wordpress here to my tastes.
