Apes for God

As usual the Summer madness that is holidays, conferences and schedules came around and bit all of us quite hard so the role-play scene has been odd of late.

As gamers we have supplemented this with a few different tactics and regular changes.

1. We now have a regular computer game session, mostly weekly where a group, gaggle, subset of group, of us wander around the Guild Wars Universe (online game) and battle creatures and do feats of derring-do.

2. I have run a couple of odd one-off sessions, including the infamous Dark Sun and some sessions inside a standard Sci-fi Alternity ‘Verse.

3. We have played far too much Arkham Horror, including a failed game or two and now own all of the sets including the very latest set.

4. I have started work on the Victorian game again and we have had a session in which new people started on the aftermath of Prague. In that game things are going from bad to weird and the hunt is still on for Eddie, can they hold Gary and the Count and who is going to stop Dimitri from upsetting the local constabulary (oh wait, they don’t know about that yet…)

The Autumn looks set to continue the pattern of unusual gaming as we still have conferences and holidays to mess with us, but with some luck we can squeeze in a regular session or two and perhaps have a good stab at some regular epic ness as the Forgotten Realms super epic will soon pass a true milestone, 95 consecutive games, making it the longest running single story arc. We are now 4 games away from the mighty 100 session, which will be 700 hours of gaming or about a month (29 days and several hours). Quite the story. It is currently tied at 94 games with the UN Investigation game from a long time ago.

We shall see what the future has in store in a later post
