Hello!  I'm running a new Twilight game, not unlike the one I posted about a year and a half ago.  That game lasted almost a year and everyone involved seemed to have enjoyed themselves thoroughly.  I sure did, which is why I'm doing it again.  This time, I'm running it with an assistant via a messageboard, in order to keep all of the information more neatly organized and accessible.

Twilight is a game of gods- of partially omnipotent beings who shape the world to their whims.  Players will have the opportunity to create a god and people from their imagination and steer their people from nothing to virtually anywhere they'd like to take them.  There are currently a few openings left if anyone is interested in participating.

Cheers!

I use LJ rarely. When I use it, the primary purpose is to keep up with the goings on of other folks. I do try to post at least one thing every... six months it looks like.

I'm alive, well and happy. Work and graduate school are pleasant. Personal life is rather more than pleasant.

Intercon G was this weekend. Playing in four LARP games and running a fifth LARP game makes for a busy weekend. I enjoyed myself thoroughly (of course).

I was:
- Felicio (Felix) Gonzales in World's End.
- Numerius in SPQR.
- A GM in Fire on High.
- Iunius in Orgia.
- Horde in Collision Immanent!

I appreciated the generally quiet, but constant internal workings of Felix the most. It was a fun role in a great game. I generally enjoy plot-light, character-heavy games, though they tend to be relatively few and far between.

I couldn't honestly complain about a single game though. From the rather less introverted Numerius to the frantic Iunius to the madness of a multitude of horde characters, I had a great time.

I finally received word that I have been accepted into Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science for the Fall. Two application misfiles and one accidentally shredded document later, it is finally official.

Oh, and while I'm at it, I might as well mention that I'm working for Harvard's Widener Library and Google over the summer as part of the Google Book Search project.

I'm going through the games I played at Intercon F in order and giving a more detailed analysis. Behind the cut are my thoughts on A Question of Faith, which I played Friday evening from 7:00 pm - 1:00 am.

This is just a short note to announce that I'll be back in Bellingham, WA between December 28th and January 10th. This will be my first trip back since I moved to the Boston area almost two years ago. Anyone that will be in the area and feels like saying hey is welcome to drop me a line.

I'm out from my 9 day lock up. I spent yesterday evening and most of today recovering. We have a new kitten. Life is good. School starts tomorrow. Time for me to be busy again.

I'll be locked away without time cues or contact with the outside world for the next 9 days. I'll be back in touch with the world again sometime in the afternoon of 9/4.

There is a particular type of play-by-email games that I got hooked on eight years ago that all but disappeared over the past couple of years. These games were known as Twilight games, though I have no clue why they were initially called that.

The gist of the games are that each player creates and portrays a deity. At the onset of the game each deity creates a species. From there the deities direct the path of their followers and the world they inhabit. The greater the belief in each deity, the greater the power at their disposal. The game is mostly free-style storytelling with the person running the game providing brakes and reality checks where it is appropriate.

After being disappointed by a recently started version of one of these games, I have decided to start my own. Some of the basic information about this can be found here.

If you are interested in playing read over the information and contact me with the information requested on the page. If you have questions you can leave a message here or contact me by email.

The move is over. I'm now dwelling in a wonderful abode in Somerville. The move went surprisingly well and I'm 90% of the way unpacked. I suspect I'll be living here a few years, which means no more moving for awhile. Life is good.
