Okay, hasn’t been long since my last post, but I’ve had a lot going on in the past weeks.
First, I’ve been meddling with my campaign setting, Amalthion and tabletop gaming system, YARPS (Yet Another Role Playing System), which is somewhat similar to traditional d20-based systems, but different in a large number of ways.
YARPS plays like a lot of other d20-based games, except that it uses only a single d20, though not in the same way as the True20® or Mutants and Masterminds® systems. I originally conceived of it to be a simpler system, though upon failing this, I simply attempted to make it a different system. If you’re interested in checking it out, it can be found here: YARPS
Second, I’ve been playing with a CAD-based map generating program called Campaign Cartographer 3, which is an extremely powerful, yet not very user-friendly tool. I’ve been struggling, but I’m managing to create some rudimentary maps for my system.
Third, I’ve been playing less World of Warcraft® of late, and have started playing a game called Wildstar. It’s similar in style to Warcraft, but extremely different in detail. I”m enjoying it so far, though it’s much more challenging, and due to my unfamiliarity with it, I’ve been making scores of mistakes. Still, it’s pretty cool for a sci-fi based game.
Finally, I recently had trouble with the wiki I mentioned above. Someone somewhere was registering two or three users an hour and adding pages to the wiki advertising everything from laxatives to erectile dysfunction medications. I figured out how to prevent further false registrations and deleted everything, but it took more than an hour to undo the damage.
If you’re doing a website or a wiki, check it regularly to make sure it’s not being hacked…
Anyway, that’s all I have to report right now. I’m off to do some chores I’ve been neglecting all week…
