Ol' Gadda's Y2K-ish City Game (An update)

Howdy, Farmhands. 

    It's been a While, and I don't really have any excuse for that. No wait, yes I do- I got distracted. Did you know it's surprisingly easy to mod your 3ds? I didn't, but wow am I glad I did. Not only that, but Sonic Unleashed has a PC Port? Cancel all my plans! I have to mod Sonic's model into Spider-man and replace the BGM with the Pizza Time Music. Did you say I can play the Werehog levels as Donkey Kong? Next you'll say Chip can be swapped out for Hatsune Miku!


Finally, the game is Playable

    But neither of these excuses are proper apologies for silence on my end. I could very well have simply live-blogged my experiences with both of these and considered those Content. The truth is that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and opening up blogger and getting back into the swing of writing just felt insurmountable a task and something I could always do "Later." Surely this time, procrastinating will have a positive impact on my creative work!

Wait hang on what's that over there oh SHIT

    The large bulk of my creative energy has ACTUALLY been going into a new campaign! In-person, this time, with 4 players, two of whom I haven't run anything for before! And unlike my usual, online table of nerds who I've run multiple systems for over the years, these four didn't have any of the previous experience with my bullshit that usually acts as the foundation for expectations going into a new game I run. This meant I needed to not only prep a physical GM binder with the resources needed for a physical table, something I've always wanted to do but never invested the time in, I also needed materials that would adequately introduce them to my home setting and system of choice. It's a Cairn hack, by the way. If you've read almost any post by me, this shouldn't be a surprise.

    This, then, is a bit of a follow-up to Another Post I Made, specifically my Pirate Game Rules that I shoved out onto the internet in the event someone else decides to scour the blogosphere for breadcrumbs and my meager efforts are useful in at least pointing them in the right direction. This is an updated version of that, written for 4 people who have no background in what nonsense I'm going to drag them on. You, dear reader, probably won't find anything unique and novel here, but this is my blog and if I want to document my life as it progresses until it doesn't, then that's what I'll do lmao. I'll make a third post showing off the work done on that GM binder in the nearish future. And I'll finish my 20 drafts and start posting them regularly again. And I'll load the dishwasher. Probably.

Until Next Time,

    Farmer Gadda
