So I wonder how many people actually read this blog. It surprises me sometimes how many people read my other blog. I haven’t posted here in while. Not that unusual I know.
Nothing much has come out of me in the writing or game design areas lately. I have been working (perhaps too much) on the GURPS 4th Edition fantasy adventure I’m putting together for some friends up here. We’re going to start off a new campaign and gaming group. It’s a mix of my old friends I’ve been gaming with for years and some of my friends I’ve made in the Dallas area (both gay) who are up for gaming. I’m a little nervous as to how well the two groups will mix. (Will everybody like each other? Will their gaming styles mesh? 
We’ll still be gaming with our old group as well, it’s just that we don’t get to do it too often since we’re split between Austin and Dallas. I’m thinking of proposing something new for that group, possibly a modern day espionage setting.
All that’s well and good, but I’d still like to get back into the writing and/or game design. Something about it I guess, wanting to express myself creatively and be recognized for it in some way. To connect with some audience that’s out there. This is the era of the niche creator/publisher too. With podcasts and blogs and print on demand, you can connect with twenty people and feel like you’ve found an audience for your work. I just have to keep refining my work I think. And find that thing, that elusive something that I know about, something that means a lot to me, where I’ll have a wellspring of ideas and emotions that will come across in my creation and grab hold of my audience. For me it’s politics, gaming, being gay, technology and it’s impact on society. Shrug. Maybe I’ll do a podcast on GURPS. Maybe a short quasi-auto-biographical story for some magazine. And maybe I won’t do any of those things. But I’ll at least have tried. Who knows?
