Delays and Diversions : 2

The C&S stuff is still live. But I have some intrusions into my thinking and planning.

To the point where it's months since I started to write this particular post!

RuneQuest

I'm having a dive into the current version of RuneQuest [RuneQuest Glorantha]. I was browsing the Chaosium site in search of CoC goodies and saw that RQ was alive and well. My memory tells me that I've played approximately four sessions of RQ in my life. I ran three when I had the game back in the early eighties and another a couple of years later at a wargames club.

As a world and a mythology it's a compelling read. I'm not convinced that I'd want to play the RAW but it's food for thought. I've read a lot of background and setting information but I've not managed to get very far into the actual rulebook. There is a chance that some of distinctive forms of magic will colour my thinking when I get to thinking about religion and magic for my C&S mega-project.

Work

Busy, busy, busy. I somehow managed to sneak little bits of typing into the working day... but not at the moment. My work laptop is the only thing I have with a mouse and a real keyboard, so it's may favoured hardware for doing this.

Anyway...

Reading a bunch of Max Adams books is making Early Medieval an interesting idea for a campaign setting. 
I've had some new ideas about bending Skillscape to my taste. I'll get to that soon.
The "new year intention" is to get something written on a Friday evening
