Beautiful day

Today is one of those gorgeous spring days that make me remember why I like living in Michigan. It is about 60 degrees outside, sunny and fantastic. Get outside for a bit today if you can!

Writing, Writing, Writing!

As I have mentioned before, I am a huge fan of Pen and Paper Role Playing Games (RPGs), like Dungeon's and Dragons. I have done a bit of RPG writing before, writing half of the Psibertroopers game with Scott Palter (which sold nearly 1000 copies!). I also did a few small freelance projects here or there, so I can technically call myself a professional writer, but in truth, I am just a wannabe with a blog.

West End Games, the publishers of the D6 System announced a few months ago that they were planning on going open source with D6, which is great news for fledgling game designers like me. what this means is that you can use the D6 rules for your game at no cost, as long as whatever you write can then be used by someone else under the same deal. this arrangement makes for some cool collaborative projects that might not happen any other way.

Unfortunately, West end Games is broke, and not really putting out any new products right now, so it may be a while before these rules actually get put out in their final format. I am working on my own version of the rules, taking out the stuff I don't like and adding things I do, and my efforts can be found here.

hopefully I can get at least a rough draft done in another month or so, but there are no guarantees!
