Excited to be starting a new week and hopefully getting into a new groove as I start to develop a new novel and work heartily on the old one. The fantasy? It is still too big to write and I still don’t know the story I want to tell. In the process of developing the world I started thinking that I might come around to writing and publishing a book on building systems of magic for fantasy writing and gaming. I’ve learned and thought and created so much of that so far that it feels about that time to create this. So, in short order there are at least four projects available to me to work on. This means I am not quite used up yet. I like it.
I’ve been thinking about systems in general. I once developed a sport based around goal scoring that was meant for super powered individuals. The system of it was really fun to develop and it feels like, though that was a moment in time, the idea of system building that arose was meaningful. Now… apply that same concept to space and ship to ship gaming. That could be very interesting indeed. Space is huge and once you cannot see the enemy, it becomes a giant game of battleship. So, let us start there. I want to develop SPACE BATTLESHIP. Similar concept in three dimensional space. It is best suited for a computer game but works as a board game if you dial space into distinct levels. Not much but it is a start.
Some Thoughts:
- Gary Brown and Dwayne Haskins both passed on this week. These things come in threes, yknow.
