Writing Progress

[Black Jack Rackham]

Fair point. I have at least started on it and hopefully will have it in in a week or two.

Now fun part, you want me to intertwine it with crimsonjoes?

Having discussed it with the lad, we have decided on the "no" front on that.

So "No" it is. Well since there's no cooperation, we'll have to do competition. Just remember, only one of you can 'win!'

I'm kidding

Or am I?!

Let me amend this (since I'm still working on things and you still need to look over the finished product first): we have no objections if it fits the plot. However, don't go out of your way to tie us together just because we're married.

[spizio]

Should he tie you to un married people? If so together or apart?

You realize Mark is threading stuff together like a master fate witch anyhow, right?. And I tend to just add woven layers of material onto those plot threads so encouragement may be hazardous here.

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[Black Jack Rackham]

Speaking of, I just have 4 Backgrounds left to write. May spend some time on 7&8 today before gaming...

[Black Jack Rackham]

Got back to writing ep 7, now finished through Act 2 Scene 1 (so just 5 more scenes to go). Just a few more backgrounds to go and those'll be all finished too.

[Black Jack Rackham]

Act 2, Scene II finished. This one is way overwritten. I still have nearly half the adventure left to write (well 4 scenes out of 9), and I'm already at 8k words. Phew.

[Black Jack Rackham]

Act 2 done, starting in on Act 3. As long as the power holds out I should be ok

[Black Jack Rackham]

Half way through Act III Scene 1, and took a break cause I got inspired, wrote the whole background and adventure synopsis for Ep 8

[salamanca]

Yeah, but you forgot to press "save". Go back and start over.

[Black Jack Rackham]

And, just got finished with a proposal for Witch Hunter... gonna sit on it for a day before I send it in.

[Black Jack Rackham]

Hated the way I'd originally done Act 3, Scene I (it was simply too much of a rehash of an earlier scene) so I tossed it and re-wrote the whole thing. Like this much better. Now the scene progression isn't just a series of fights.

And as a bonus, the new scene is better at directing heroes toward the end in a less rail-roady fashion.

But it does occur to me that this'll almost definitely be the playtest since I'm much more comfortable with how 8 progresses.

[Black Jack Rackham]

I think to give my brain a rest, I'm gonna do the re-writes my playtesters suggested and get Episodes 5&6 all set for TotalConfusion. (which reminds me, I should probably also start thinking about getting my paperwork in order too)

[Black Jack Rackham]

Ok, THIS TIME, I'm going to listen to my own advice. NO MORE WRITING FOR NEXT YEAR'S ADVENTURES UNTIL AFTER FEBRUARY!

Time to get the edits done.

[Black Jack Rackham]

Still not writing (for HoA) but got myself involved with a new kickstarter. It's not viewable yet (hasn't opened up to seeking cash) but should be a fun time. I'm currently writing an outline of my questions and thoughts about it.

[Black Jack Rackham]

Ok I guess I'm still listening to my own advice about not writing FULL adventures. But Laura stopped by to drop off some artwork, we got to talking, and next thing I know, I have a new PA adventure written.

On other fronts, it seems the adventure I'm writing for Witch Hunter will be the premere adventure to kick off their new 2nd Ed. Witch Hunter series, Revelations.

That Kickstarter project I'm involved with is finally viewable. It's going to be called A Gallery of Rogues and you can check it out here

As for progress, after a good bit of conversation, I'm well on my way with 17 NPC concepts already in the can.

[Black Jack Rackham]

Progress on the writing front. Between Laura and I we came up with an excellent PA adventure (I personally think it's gonna be for Gencon this year but who knows). And I got all the re-writes done for both of this year's adventures (yay!) They're with the playtesters now and if they don't have any changes, they'll both be ready to go for Feb!

Been sick all week but managed to get started back on that Witch Hunter adventure I'm doing for Paradigm. It's about half finished and as a bonus, they've asked me if there are any other adventures I'd like to submit (well, duh!) I'd already come up with two, possibly three sequels for this one.

Kickstarter is about 1/3 funded but still have almost a month to go. Like I mentioned previously, I have 17 character ideas so that's back burner.

However, that doesn't mean its all easy. I still have to polish up my Toon! adventure for TC, stat up the characters for the YTCC game I'm supposed to run, and do more than have just a basic outline for the redneck Dread game I'm planning on running at KFG. Oh yea and there's GC Event Submission this friday, GC Badge Pre-reg in 3 weeks, and Hotel Pre-reg two days later. Phew

[Black Jack Rackham]

Laura and I came up with the events for the second PA (Dave's responsible for the third) so that means Year 3 is written! Now onto everything else I need to do (which includes rough drafts of 7&8 in time for Origins Playtest which I forgot to mention last time)

So, Mark, you don't need any input from me to occupy Sonya during the Total Con PA? I've always assumed that you could just ad-lib a dozen or so things to try to confuse or railroad her into doing something.

However, if you should happen to hear from any of those Vesten about the lack of MEAD in Altamira, Sonya should be available for Inventions or just constructing/fabricating apparatus for them to brew some on their own!

Well the two Vesten behind this idea should be sitting down with you Saturday Night, so if you all want to hatch a plan, I'm all for it.

But as for having enough for you to do, I'm simply worried there aren't enough years for you to get it all finished.

Gee Mark, If you keep Sonya busy for the next 25 or so PAs, you can always still let her try to complete her Invention on that last PA in 2030.

Alright, it's a deal. If you can't get it done by then, It'll be first on my list that year
