This weekend we start a new campaign, this one being ran by Fayde.  We finished J's game in about four sessions, and it went real well.  Fayde's taking us to the Forgotten Realms, with a long campaign spread out over three modules.  Everyone's looking forward to it.  I'll be playing a druid. 

 In other news, I won the December challenge on fantasy-writers.org.  So, to date, I have placed first in the 100% of the challenges I've entered.  My August winner, 'Dance of the Scorpion', is ready for submission and I'm going to start shopping it around.

Yep, the game went off as planned.  Glad and giving thanks that this group is the one to which I belong. 

I've taken a break from running the game for a bit.  One of the guys that I've known for a long time was good enough to want to take over for a few sessions so I'd have a chance to play.  I hadn't in so long I thought maybe I'd forgotten how.  It's a dungeon crawl and a good one at that. 

We also got two more characters bringing the total to seven.  Two good people joined and that was great.  Vinifera is growing more than ever before.

That being said I'm anxious to get back to it.  I've got plans for them.

And in August we'll be back to our Vinifera campaign.  It should be interesting, lots of work has been done.  In looking back, I came to realize that we've been playing the campaign for TWO years!  It's been a great ride as well.  Well, I say two years but, we've been on B'tech since March, and we missed a few sessions, so actually in playing time it's been a little over a year.  I can't say enough good things about the group of players I've been lucky enough to have.  A few have come and gone but the core group has been there the whole time and I hope they've enjoyed it as much as I have.  Stay tuned!

We have paused the Vinifera campaign for a little while to pursue a monthly game to one of my favorite throwbacks, Battletech.  Everything else will continue to move; site additions, writings, blog postings, etc., as well as world development.
