So the supermodule I wrote about last time is in the can. I looked at the concept and realized it was crap and the ideas were basically cookie cutter stuff that stroked my ego and my geek fetishes in gaming (not sexual at all, I swear. Serious). But I posted a little something about it here:Paizo's Site and here:Sinister Adventures: Nick Logue's Gaming Company.. The document itself can be found through google docs on here: Rupture of the Tower of Valneeth.

This thing is, as the last, to be done with the PFRPG, however it is much smaller. Around 50,000 words is the current plan. Also unlike the last one, I fully intend to finish this damnable thing in the next year if it kills me. I'll hire editors, top scale artists and God knows what else before this thing is done, but by GenCon 2010, I expect to have a manuscript ready for editing or, if I'm really lucky, layout!

And that, as they say, is that.

Mm-hmm, again there's a big delay between posts. I don't like it, but I hope it gets better soon. Somehow I doubt it, but we'll see. I'm doing more writing nowadays, I think, so things could look up here in the future. More after the cut.

Well, it's been way too long, I think. Jeez. Still, life hasn't been bad. School and grades aren't fun, but the the freelancing really picked up not long after my last, too long ago post.

Yep, I've been officially published. I'm blazing a trail into infinity, or at least cracking a door into a larger world. I've got a couple other things going at the same time, and I hope they'll be published too. Regardless, it's a great feeling, one I've not felt before.

Well, I hate to say it, but I haven't written one iota of new Ilvanix information since last Saturday, and I'm not really happy about that. I want to get the thing written by the end of next year, but at this pace, I'll be lucky to get half that.

( Rant Mode On )
Overall, the week's been alright. Grades are fine and I've been thinking about these things, so it's not a total loss.

I'll post more when there's more to say.

Well, I made the leap. I decided that I'm making my own campaign setting, a place called Ilvanix. I don't know who it's going to be for, where it's going or if I'll ever even finish the damnable thing. But I've started it, and for the foreseeable future, it'll be something I plan to work on.

And lucky you, my 1.35 readers (maybe), I plan on sharing my design choices with you. I'll be posting them here intermittently with other stuff I find funny or useless, so here goes.

It's going to be a wild ride, and I hope that anyone who reads this gets some sort of cool stuff out of it. I'll post more when I have more to say, but right now, I'm going to go write that thing!

Well, sort of. I don't have an official deadline, nor will I have one I don't think. But I now have an impetus to actually do something rather than sit and play video games (which I love, don't get me wrong).

On comes the rant!

It's been some time since my last post, mostly because I haven't had any impetus to do so. But for some reason, now I do.

So let's begin the rant.

I've been writing for many years now, but it is only recently that I've entered the RPG freelancing industry. Now, this may be of little interest to anyone, but if I'm to make a name for myself (and some cash monies), then I have to get the word out.
