Rethinking Publication Options

Looking at the options, I'm considering looking at creating a wider series of books, rather than focusing on just a Runequest setting. Each book would be usable as a reference book for game masters to use as a campaign setting, for players of roleplaying games to understand the culture, religion, technology, and everyday life of the setting they are playing in, and for wargamers to use as a reference for army lists, weapons, and armor. With this, I'd present the bulk of the book as a systemless reference. In the back of the book would be appendices that provided stats, equipment, and rules options for Runequest, Fudge/Fate, and possible a third system. I'd also like to develop a nice easy wargaming set of rules that utilizes Fudge +/- dice. In an effort to better understand ancient and medieval warfare, I'm going to stick with my military history research for an extended period of time continuing the scope outside Carolingian warfare to cover other periods.

Baby Girl Walking

Although Lorene has been taking 1-3 steps here and there for a month or so, she began full on walking this week. I watched her walk the length of the kitchen, turn around and walk back to the other end. It's pretty exciting to see her reach that next level. Children grow so much the first year or so, it's amazing.

Day Off

So, I'm taking a vacation day today. Nothing like sleeping 12 hours and then getting up to lounge on the couch. Not sure what the day holds for me. Maybe watch some DVR'd stuff, go shopping at some used book stores, spend some time at a park. Mostly, just relax and enjoy the day. Later tonight I'll be logging into Guild Wars to try and get some guild versus guild matches going.
