Today, almost to the hour that I'm posting this, I have been playing and designing D&D for 40 years.
Rather that wax poetical about the beginning or speak of the time spent, as I've done at other times, I think I will just say, it hasn't been long enough.
Apart from the book I'm editing, I have two other books in the works regarding the subject of game play and design. I am considering accepting that the creation of modules for other people may be something I'm forced to do. And I am rethinking other possible ways through which I hope to continue to add content to a discourse which has not begun to reach its zenith, not in my mind. Far from feeling that I am on the periphery of the community, I continue to feel that I am breaking new frontiers, discovering new countries, meeting new peoples and forging out a game that will change the way people think about D&D.
Fifty years, here I come.
That's awesome, man. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteEarlier today (about three hours ago) I found myself jonesing for your articular brand of madness and almost, *almost* considered pony-ing up the Patreon subscription. I might still...just need to find a line of credit that'll foot the bill!
Excited to hear more about the new books on design, by the way.
; )
When you do, JB, I'm sure everyone will.
ReplyDeleteNot forced, get to.
ReplyDeleteI just found this blog today.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been away from DND and RPG scene for about 25 years (fell into miniatures!!) and discovered this whole scene last month...
I feel like I’ve missed so much, but catching up is awesome, not having to wait for the next post.
I’ve been inspired to dig out my AD&D stuff and make a Grimdark Greyhawk campaign (based on the decade old idea that Greyhawk is post Apocalyptic).
Great stuff here, I’ll be back
