First Game

As I mentioned in my previous post, I am going to be running a Stars Without Number game for some of my IRL friends. Up to this point, I have played in a lot of different role-playing games, but I have never been the game master for any of them.

Joe’s Gaming History

A long time ago, my older brother was really into Vampire: The Masquerade with his friends, and of course I wanted to do what the cool, older kids were doing, so I convinced my brother and his goth high school friends to let me play with them for a couple of sessions. He also played some Palladium and GURPS at the time, so naturally I read all of the rulebooks that he had. Also, since I was really into LEGO, he and I devised our own LEGO RPG using GURPS, which was pretty cool, although a bit unwieldy because players fictionally travel through a world much faster than we could possibly construct it on the fly.

I have been enamored with the idea of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) since I first heard about it. I do not remember the first time I attempted doing it, but it has been going on 6 years that I have made an attempt each year, and hopefully this year will be more successful than in the past.

Part of the reason for my optimism is that I am finally finished with school. It only took 10 years for me to finish my undergrad, but hey, that’s life right? I ultimately learned more from the time I spent working in the industry, but it is a relief to be done in any case.
