Where the heck I am...Brief
« on: April 21, 2005, 09:02:28 pm »
I received a PM today asking where the heck I\'ve been and why so I thought I would share.
I\'ve been working on a series of novels for about three years now and was approached by someone asking if they could be made into a Pen and Paper RPG. After an eternity of thought I decided that I did not like the publisher who was asking and told them to \'piss off\' but the idea intrigued me.
Long story short I\'m working really hard on a new PnP and have learned just how much more work it is than I imagined. That\'s all. I haven\'t left or anything nor am I planning on it.
Jeez leave PS I\'d have to be nuts.  :P

...I guess I should have kept my mouth shut.
As I said, I\'ve been working on them. I have not submited anything to any publishers for two reasons.
A) I don\'t know how.
B) I\'m a super hard critic of myself and doubt very much that anyone wants to read my dribble.

That said, your wondering so...why does someone want to do a game?
Well they are not anyone of merrit, they are a small group of people that fancy themselves RPG writers and artists and think that the world I have created would be great for their first try. I however, am not at all interested in having my dreams turned into another \"Dark Horse\" fiasco...as if anyone can remember that.
Also they have not, in any of our conversations about the material had their information right. They keep attributing the wrong chracters with lines, and trying to tell me how they see the things working out...Who\'s the writer here.
For those reasons I have stepped back and laid my own hand to the plow. I\'ve played enough systems and written enough modifications to at least give it a sporting chance. The other guys have played AD&D and read a lot of comic books.
Maybe I should post some of my PS stuff around here somwhere.

P.S. Do you ever wish you could just lie about that kind of stuff. \"Oh, I\'ve written tons of books. See, I\'m really Robert Jordan.\"  :rolleyes:

Well, I think what you\'re doing is great. If you ever want any help with your game or with your books, feel free to ask. Now, having said that, I do realize that you never will ask, but nonetheless, it had to be said.  ;)
