Utterly Mad

That's pretty neato, I'll have to show up to a game.

I'll be updating The Highway and organizing a new game for The Club this weekend. Fallout 4 is fun, but I still have a duty to GM my shit.

Okay, because fuck it I need to actually do something and get over whatever the hell slump I'm in...and I am not going to make yet another thread just for interest checking at this point.
Okay, so basically a scifi game using a d20 to determine if you succeed in certain things or not. I'm not going to be too concerned with things like ammo, limiting uses of certain items, those kinds of things, the primary focus is going to be on having fun.
as far as story what I currently have is that  you guys are a group of prisoners, and since you all have particular sets of skills you've been tasked with finding a powerful artifact in return for your freedom.

Alright updates will be getting back on track shortly, maybe I'll just say Hell with it and release another shite update to get things rolling again.

I've been videomaking, researching, writing up three different projects, and trying to pass school. And it sucks, I'm taking a class to learn coding but I missed one day where he explained JavaScript in depth and now I'm boned because no one has taken the time to explain it to me so I'm on my own playing catch up.

I've been writing up my Solarium video, yeah it'll actually have a script because Goon's Telescience zones and its story are something I love to talk about and I think I could easily make the video an hour long. If I mostly focus on that I might be able to get it done by Winter Break, or it might be on Winter Break. On top of that I still want to make other videos to keep my channel alive and breathing.

2nd I've been researching code and different art styles to work on an actual game that I finally figured out what I want to use for The Highway. I'm heading back to my roots and going with my original source of inspiration, "Organ Trail" that silly little zombies meets Oregon Trail game. In short, imagine the basic plot of The Highway, now imagine its Oregon Trail meets FTL where you jump from city to city as you try to make your way to California, all the battles will be turn based but it'll look a little bit like Convoy- well looks like I'm going to have to do something with it because all the ideas I just thought up are actually done in Convoy:

Well shit I thought I was going to be all clever but dammit someone beat me to it. Maybe I can still try what I was doing and put a unique spin on it, maybe have it more story focused, or just make an RPG lite? Maybe, I mean the world is unique enough right. Goddamn that was like a kick to the gut. Maybe I'll just do something with The Club or whatever. Actually fuck that shit, just because I share the same idea the games will be very different, Convoy is about rebuilding your ship in the future, The Highway is about exploring a very post-post-Apocalyptic-Apocalyptic world where you fight Chinese and Russian commies that are in STALKER/Fallout style power armor that have wrist mounted rockets and flamethowers, where New Mexico and major American deserts were turned into muddy rain forests and swamps because 'muh terraforming'. I'm also thinking if you beat The Highway's main mode, you unlock a sort of "endless mode" where you can become a merchant, remnant, STALKER, or raider.


3rd, I've been working on those fucking short stories and I still have no idea what to do with it so I might just put that little project on Hiatus.

4th its getting hard to write updates for The Highway when you start to give less of a shit, I'll admit it sucks watching the number of players crash harder then the Hindenburg, and I know its because we didn't get the show on the road fast enough or the major action scene wasn't good enough. So I might say fuck it and just make crap updates until you get to a settlement, focus more on basic one sentence or short paragraph descriptions of what's happening instead of long paragraphs that people just skim through for their name anyway.

It's a free chat room service thing. Apparently the skype group switched to that, though we've been attempting to use it to do RPs rather then the IRC or chat thing we have, though honestly I'm flexible on what I use.

Same here i would also like to join

thx

And truer words were rarely spoken better.

I approve that a mega thread for the Highway(s) would be a good idea simply because its loved by almost everyone here and of the two main canons for it (yours and mine) are both well written and have a good sized fan base.

In other news, I hope to return to writing Dust when I finish up the first draft of Highway [name pending] I would like to continue writing Dust where I left off at. Also I plan on starting another strategy RP like Neaxco soon.
