Personally, I've been bouncing between several projects like a mink on methamphetamine:

  • A sword-and-sandal setting for Cepheus Engine, since that ruleset gets lots of Science Fiction love and a lot less for fantasy RPGs.
  • A pulp SF setting based on ideas from Fritz Leiber's "A Pail of Air" (which I discovered some time ago was in the public domain due to the peculiarities of American copyright law when it was published in 1951).
  • An "open source" take on a Third Imperium-like setting as a way of giving back to--yet again--the Cepheus Engine community.

This is also besides thinking hard about trying to break out of my comfort zone and write a novel. Two possibilities there....

Needless to say, I'm not actually making much progress on finishing anything.

These are some things I'm working on (in varied degrees of completion):

  • A Cthulhu Mythos campaign plunging the players into the Taiping Rebellion
  • Studying how to make a version of Eclipse Phase using M-Space (based on the Mythras roleplaying game)
  • Toying with some ideas using Mongoose Traveller 2nd edition and 2300AD
  • Toying with some OSR concepts using Axis Mundi by 77 Mundos

Murderous as the Taiping Rebellion was, it would make a great background for the Mythos!

Oh, yes. Very dangerous times for player characters.
