In Character, Out of My Mind

I know I have not written anything in a long time, so I thought I would add something.

 I have been exploring the possibility of playing using forums, and have joined one game so far.

 You can find the in-character thread here

I have finally got my hands on Armaggedon by Eden Studios… I have actually wanted it for a while, but I finally got it.

 I have so afr only had time to read through the openning fiction, and some of the setting notes, so I will post a full review when I actually read through it, these are just some of my notes so far.

 the openning fiction was… bland is the best way to describe it. It explained the basics of the settings, but left me with no great desire to play in it (unlike the quickstart module Eden makes available on their website)

One thing which I found mildly irritating: Its another one of those settings in which the entire world has been tunred into a hellhole, and America provides the last hope, or at least that’s the impression I get from what I have read so far. I guess that’s the problem with reading RPGs directed at the American market.

It looks like I will finally get a group together, and have a chance to GM!

For the campaign I am planning, I have decided to combine two brillinat games, by running a game in the JAGS Wonderland setting,  using the Unknown Armies system. I have looked at the JAGS system, and I find it a bit too crunchy for my taste (at least for a supernatural horror game). To be honest, I have not actually tried it yet, so it might turn out to work a lot better in play than it seems at first glance.

Unknown Armies will I think fit in nicelly with Wonderland, especially the madness tracks, as the PCs deal with the various insanities of Wonderland.

Anyway, hopefully we will start in a week or two, I will post more about this later.

I have just started this blog, since I have way too many roleplaying ideas, and vry little time to put them into execution. Here, I plan to add all I know about roleplaying, and I hope that all this information will be of some use to someone out there.
