Stars and Wishes
Hey everyone! Our lovely star Sidney Icarus has been very busy with life and work, and I can’t wish enough that he return to our loving caress. But until he does, maybe we should celebrate his love with a little stars and wishes, que no?
Stars: How awesome have you been? What progress have you made? What great things have you done?
Wishes: What’s coming up and how would you like it to look? What greatness do you have planned?
Stars: I’ve finally played a full series of a game in The Gauntlet last month, with Sidney Icarus’s very own Lady Blackbird. It’s the longest campaign I’ve played, as a player, ever. It was sooo good, and just makes me want moooore.
Wishes: More series, please! I started in on Tyler Lominack’s Space Wurm vs. Moonicorn game and want to see it through… but also can’t wait until next month and Lauren McManamon’s full sequence of Night Witches.

Stars: As always the Gauntlet lets me play wonderful games with some of the coolest people on Earth. Stars to Lowell Francis for his patience in teaching me BitD, and the amazing story he’s telling. Stars to Oli Jeffery for his fantastic game CREEP, and Tomer Gurantz for playing it with me. Stars to Jason Cordova and his new game The Between, which I have loved being one of the first to play. Stars to my peeps in the AsPac, who always bring me joy. Stars to Richard Rogers, who always puts up with my BS and questions like a true friend. Finally but never lastly, Stars to Patrick Knowles for simply EVERYTHING.
Wishes:I wish I had not been sick and cancelled a session of SWvM. I wish I could play in every one of the amazing games that people put up. Most of all, I wish I would get off my ass and start writing my game.

Star: Finished rules, character sheet, adventure outline & mini prep for my all-ages convention session. It’s all so pretty!
Wish: Make terrain to excite the players, starting with an orchard. Then maybe some terraclips. And a rickety bridge…

Stars: Despite a really busy schedule I haven’t given up on The Gauntlet, I’ve organized to get in some games and even try out Macchiato Monsters! I also made time to keep doing design work.
Wishes: To start planning a playtest of my OSR module. With a plan I’ll be more motivated to finish it, no matter how tired I am.

Stars: I’m not really sick anymore and managed to end my regular group ‘s storyline. And a while ago I just signed up for a gauntlet game where I knew no one, and everybody was just amazing!
Wishes: Reading Tomer Gurantz ‘s Stars, now I want to play in a longer campaign too.

Star: Last night I wrote out a house rule for Blades in the Dark that applies Fiasco-style scenes for the Free Play phase. I may be testing it tonight.
Wishes: With three more Blades sessions on the calendar, and a The Witch is Dead RPG intro session for some friends being planned, I’m hoping they will all be amazing sessions for everyone involved.

*Stars*: I have almost finished the fourth edit of the basic rules and and character sheet of Anomalis, and only a little way to go. Also I have had a wonderful ideation session with the artist for the cover, and it is going to be insane.
*Wishes*: That I soon sign my new job contract so I can focus a bit more on games, game design, and do some playtesting soon. I miss it so much.

Tomer Gurantz Thanks! I’ve been refining it with an actual game designer friend. I’ll certainly post it when it’s ready.

Star: I’ve finally tried Dungeon World and Apocalypse World. I felt kind of silly around here only vaguely knowing of them.
Wish: These aren’t specific goals for this week, but I want to find a satisfying conclusion for my Alas series and to try running another pbtA system.

Christian Svalander Yay for job and yay for more gaming.
Michael Mendoza Looking forward to it! What are you planning to post?! Inquiring minds…
Zachary Isom Yah, I’ve been playing with some of that. I downloaded the 3 hour session of Hot Guys Making Out: Sherlock Holmes, and it got editted down to about 45 minutes! Now I’m working on some Autumn of the Ancients, and maybe some Lady Blackbrid!
