The Magic of Roleplaying

Reading between the rolls, adding your creativity to the barebones of the rules, this is an art - THE art of the GM. This is where the magic comes from, not from sourcebooks and scenarios. It is not the product, but what every individual table does with it.

Happy Birthday To ME! Plans for 2023

 Hello readers!


Today is my birthday, I'm Level 52.

I suppose it's as good a time as any to set out my plans for this new(ish) year.

In a little under 30 days, my son and I will be getting on a plane back to Canuckistan.

I feel immense relief at the prospect, but not a little fear of how it will go.


Time to focus on the positive:

Business plans

1 Start a health business teaching Movement, Breathing, Strengthening, and Nutrition

2 Film and start selling video lessons on Discourse Analysis

3 Finish writing my Japanese textbook and horror novel

(Returning to academia is a plan for next year, if ever)

Life Plans

1 Set son up in a Canadian special ed 

2 Get in the sort of shape that will hopefully let me stick around as long as I can for him

3 Reconnect with friends and family

(Mentally put the last 5 years far behind me)

Gaming

1 On the backburner for now

2 Eventual return to Stormbringer redux project, completion

3 Start of regular face to face gaming

Others

1 I wrote a script that might be turned into a movie, we'll see

2 Maybe play ukelele and sing at a few open mikes


We'll see

Wish me all the luck I wish you
