I'm running WoD today. I've long since given up keeping to any kind of schedule or really running the game out of anything other than a single minded desire to resolve a very long running story that is told only in the most sporadic, drawn out way. Katie and I live together, and the easiest opt out is just looking over to another person and going, "Do you feel like we've got time for this?" and engaging in an activity that's altogether easier. We are both busy people, but we usually act in concert, so for activities that involve just us, neither of us feel any external impetus to accomplish things and so King of Limbs is shelved in the same way that the game you bought a month ago and didn't get around to immediately gets shelved, or that book you've been meaning to read, or that show you've been meaning to finish.

I'll be writing up an overview for Pathfinder, and that's a local game. I'm only going to be looking for four or five people, tops, for this and it's not guaranteed to even be a good game, because I haven't run D&D games in quite a few years and because it'll be run in a way I'm not accustomed to playing or running. Everyone'll get the disclaimer. It'll probably end up being a mixed group, in that people who have not played together will likely be invited. I've got reasons ranging from generally wanting some people to play to 'I promised the next game I ran, I'd invite them.' so I honestly have no idea how that'll fly. I'm still not 100% sure it'll even happen or what the frequency of play is going to be.

I'll also be writing up an overview for the Exalted game. This is a Skype session, because my local peeps get to play Exalted on a fair enough frequency and my non-local friends really don't. I don't feel particularly torn up about how I'm doing either of these. Straight talk is that I've been excluded from a huge number of games in the last few years. I know they're being run, and I don't get invited or even talked to about it. I don't usually get invited out, to parties, or to games and haven't since I moved to Belleville. I used to feel really bummed out about it, but if nobody wants to talk to me about it, what am I supposed to do but move on and form new groups if I want to play?

Brent, myself, and the rest of my Skype role-playing group are looking into forming a podcast, but we're still in the planning stages. At the same time, I'm going to be actively tending to my internet presence, because I've let my website languish and a lot of the things that I'm working on actively haven't been either updated or made available to others. I know most people don't particularly care, but my feelings on the matter are that if I'm going to put a lot of work into hobbies and want to get noticed, I actually have to, like, tell people things. I've had a number of failed blogs, and I've stopped writing to them almost as soon as i've started because I'm not especially keen on the format. So, it's clean up first, then re-establish.

This wasn't all that exciting, I know, but it's useful enough for me to clear my head a little. If you're the kind of person who's at all interested in what I might be up to, soon, though, maybe it is a little interesting.
