Coming Winter, 2009

At least that’s what I’d say if this were a movie trailer…

Here’s the scoop. After a long run as DM of the Taera Campaign (see also here and here) I ended the campaign this fall and took a break for the birth of my daughter, Lila. Well, the itch to DM hasn’t gone away but as many of you know with a <1 year old around the time to really do it well is scarce. So, I’ve come up with a plan…

I’m going to use the next year to craft as much of the campaign as I can – build the campaign world, plan the campaign arc, learn tricks to make my preparation go faster and the sessions run smoother, etc. The goal will be to launch the new campaign after the holidays next winter.

So what’s this all about you ask? Why a blog? Well, since as Christian always describes it, what we will be doing is basically shared story telling I hope to enlist your help in building the campaign world. That means adding your ideas to the world, suggesting house rules, commenting on the world’s history and make up, providing direction for what kind of campaign you’d like to participate in. Making all this public has the added benefit that if I start slipping you can keep me on track.

My goal is to post at least once a week. (Although, preferably that would be 2-3 or more times a week.) I’m hoping the blog posts will become something that you comment on so that I can roll your feedback into what I’m developing. Longer term, the posts will serve as a way to record the campaign design, house rules and timeline (for what we use to use as session recaps, etc.).

So that’s it for now. Let me know what you think in the comments…
