Thought I would do a quick update of what has been going on with Damwain and myself.
- Damwain Games got a shout out on the Jennisodes thanks to Piers and Stuart of the London Indie RPG Meetup. They were talking about What You Wish For and my aims of non-miseryporn play.
- With the guys from London Indie we ran 5 tables of games and demos of Indie stuff at DragonMeet, these included Fiasco, Witch, Apocalypse World, Puppet Land, Spione, InSpectres, Love in the Time of Seið and other stuff I have forgotten
- After said convention my bag with all of my gaming stuff, including the WYWF and NP manuscripts was stolen.
- Some kindly person found my bag abandoned in the midst of Kensington, the only identifying feature they could find was a receipt for Leisure Games, whereupon they made the hour long trip to Finchley to hand the bag in at Leisure Games, where they tweeted about it and so I will be reunited with my bag this weekend.
- I have been playing around with some new ideas for games, one of which is up on the Protean Ideas page.
So, my undying gratitude to random stranger who found my bag, the guys at Leisure Games, and Stuart and Piers.
I still haven’t received much feedback about the first draft of WYWF, so if you have had chance to read/play it please let me know through any way you might have of contacting me, what you think needs clearing up etc. I am thinking that at next week’s Indie meet I will try and get someone to facilitate a game blind, just to see how the text works at conveying the game. If you are up for volounteering for that let me know (obviously this doesn’t work if you are one of the 6 people who have already played the game).
