Gaming update

My next post will return to my Basic Fantasy solo game but I have been slammed at work and home which has kept me from sitting down and playing. Instead I thought I would catch anyone reading this up on how sad my current gaming life is.

The two and half year long En Garde! (that is the 1975 game not the Osprey one) play by discord game has ended. It was fun and I'm glad to see the system still holds up. I really appreciate the GM and the other players, I wasn't always as involved in that game as I should have been but it was a lot of fun. If you have a chance to play En Garde! I highly recommend it. I will say it is a rare game that I really do believe works best play by post, by discord or even by mail. I don't think it would be as good sitting at the table in person.

I do have two play by post games starting that I will be a player in. GMsShadow is running a Rolemaster 2 game on the Audio Dungeon Discord and Harrigan is running me through a game of Six Gun Fury. I will report back once we have some gameplay under our feet. If you want to hear more about Rolemaster my upcoming podcast episode on 30 March 2025 will feature GMsShadow who joins me to geek out about the system.

I have one regular online game I play in, a Pathfinder 1E game run by Joe from Hindsightless. We are almost finished book 5 of the Wrath of the Righteous adventure path. Like En Garde! this is a multi year game and a lot of fun. I also play sporadically with Che from Roleplay Rescue and am hoping to get in a playtest of something new from Kevin of Saltheart Games fame. 

Sadly I'm not running games for anyone else at the moment. My solo games are chronicled here on the blog so there is no need to post about them today. I do want to start up another game with a single protagonist when life slows down a little. I'm not sure what system I'll use for that.

I have a new movie podcast series in the works that will cover films where our focus character is killed only to return from the dead for revenge. That will start in April, I hope everyone enjoys it as we will be covering movies both popular and dreadful. I also have an episode in the can where James Knight joins me to discuss American directed films inspired by Nigel Kneale, that will air the first Sunday in April. Nicky and Arlen will be back to discuss the book Sundiver and I have more RPG content planned.

Finally I want to give a shout out to a YouTube channel I have started watching, Deathstalker V's Random Encounter Show. He has some interesting Tunnels & Trolls content as well as solo game advice and episodes on old computer games. 

I think that is all I have to report at the moment. Next time we'll find out what happened to the rifle squad we last left outside the dungeon entrance. 

Be excellent to each other!
