New Blog time!

Hello Internet!  I wanted to start with a quick post about what you will see on this blog.  I am a longtime gamer- and most of that time was spent playing tabletop role playing games.  I started out, like most RPGers, playing Dungeons and Dragons. I have also played several other systems over the years.

My favorite system of all time, though, is without a doubt, the Star Wars RPG system developed by Fantasy Flight Games for use in their Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion, and Force and Destiny game lines.  To me, the system is the perfect balance of narrative control and crunchy bits.  I love the two axes of success- Success and Failure vs. Advantage and Threat.  Every dice roll can change the game in a meaningful way.

If you haven't checked out this game system, I recommend you start with one of the Beginner's Game sets.  They come with everything you need to give it a try.

As much as I love this game system, I still recognize that there are other game systems out there that have great things that I can borrow and adjust to fit them into my games in this system.  Just a few examples that I will be sharing on this blog:

• Rules for using this system in a fantasy setting
• Using Fiasco Style relationships and playsets
• Bringing in Dresden Files style Campaign creation
• Changing from the Destiny pool to a Fate point economy

There are many more we will explore going forward.  You may also see some information about integrating technology into your games (audio tracks and opening crawls or videos), as well as some specific things from my campaigns.

Thanks for reading!
