Campaigning in the Edge

This is my first post in a while because…. Well, I haven’t really done any gaming in what seems like forever. With Star Wars Edge of the Empire RPG on the horizon this will all change soon. In fact, the Core Book, the GM’s Pack, and Beginner game should all be on my doorstep sometime next week. I hope. I tell ya, I can’t wait! I’m as giddy as my 5 year old before his birthday party!

The plan is to start my campaign shortly after they finish up this current epic adventure, set in the universe of Marvel Super Heroes. Yes, the classic 80’s RPG. Sadly, I am not playing in that one, but the few sessions I’ve watched, it seems awesome!

In the meantime, I am slowly and carefully building my campaign. This campaign is to be a yearlong epic adventure mixed with intrigue, deception, bounty hunting and the shady underworld of a galaxy far far away. While I don’t want to give too many spoilers away, I do want to set the hook.

I've decided to change it all up again!

While this trek into game blogging started with a painting blog, I've changed my mind about it many many times. I've posted, changed the name and intent, posted again, changed again. Such is the problems of having A.D.D. I guess.

At the same time, I continue to game, even if I don't paint. And I always have this desire to blog. I am now changing things again to reflect my true journey into gaming... (hope it lasts)

So, here I go again...

... on my own!
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time...
