Incoming Articles

I haven't posted here recently, primarily due to my Dragon Age game going up in smoke. This wasn't due to any group in-fighting or anything nearly as tragic and sinister as that, but because of the old nemesis of GM's everywhere- burnout. Having not GM'd a game in well over a year, I was seriously rusty, though my players all say they saw nothing wrong with my game.

I'm now comfortably on the other side of the screen, plotting a new campaign, though I sadly won't be running it for my current group. I'm returning to college in a month, and have somehow managed to garner some interest with the group there (they are slightly notorious for not liking new things).

I don't want Planet Strike, tiny and obscure as it is, to wither and die, however. Far from it. I'm planning several articles for the next week or two, which will hopefully inspire me to write more.

So, here's what's to come;

Alignment Rules for Swords & Wizardry: They've been done to death by several other blogs, but I have my own stuff I'm tinkering with that I'd like to put out there.

Retro Review; Dragon Warriors: I don't own the shiny new Magnus Opus printing of DW, but I do have the old paperback books, and I plan on reviewing them now that I have time away from the GM's screen.

Novel Review; The Stolen Throne: As Dragon Age is more or less my go-to system for fantasy adventures at this point, and I'm in love with the setting, I'll be putting a review of the first novel, The Stolen Throne, out in, oh, a week or so.

Bestiary of Thedas: The selection of monsters in Box 1 of Dragon Age is fairly slim, so I plan on expanding it a bit. I'll probably be breaking the cannon of the setting a bit, but it's my game, so if I want Owlbears roaming the Brecilian Forests, than damn it all, I'll have them.
