So much happening. It's affecting how frequently I'm posing new stuff here.
I owe readers the fourth installment of Hell Harbor. The voting concluded and the choice is clear, I just haven't had a chance to finish the new segment yet.
Likewise, I'm supposed to get chapter four of Demimonde put up. That's just a question of cutting and pasting and formatting. Maybe it's just a problem with the fourth chapter of things around here.
You know what else is still languishing? The final portion of the Kanban technique for GMing. Al I have are notes. That's not a post. That won't fly.
Since I received my invitation to Google Wave, I've been raring -- raring! -- to see how it hosts tabletop play across geographical boundaries. I have these three ideas I want to dig into: Pink-box exploration of a homebrew setting, the Wilderlands of High Fantasy powered by Arcana Evolved, and the Great Pendragon Campaign. I especially want to see if Wave will work because with my wife working most nights, I'm home with Madeleine, and after she goes to bed, I'm rampant. Are you on Wave? Drop me a line and yell at me to get off my duff and commence to running a game.
On the video game front, I'm playing through Aion for work. After seeing this, I'm looking forward to Dragon Age. And I also have this weird itch to bust out Guild Wars, largely driven by the awesome art for Guild Wars 2.

You've been getting quite excited about Wave, but now that i've learnt more about it, i'm less interested. Have you come across Palbee? It's a free video conferencing site that has a white board feature.
It's primarily designed for distance business meetings, but i can see massive benefits for a remote gaming group.
You can upload pictures and documents. There's a traditional IM chat function, it has the video and VOIP things, players can join a session just by clicking a link the GM sends out and it's 100% browser, so no programs to download.

Great, thanks for the tip. I'll check it out!
