Matt-Man Forever!

Hail and well met.

Well it has been a short time since I posted. The major reason is there is not much to say. Things are what they are. I am still waiting for the results of my test to arrive and the more I talk to people the more I feel that I did a good job. I am really hoping that I get a good score.

Well there is one thing on the horizon that has me pumped. I am going to see my best friend in the world. The other half of the baddest team up in the history of team ups, The Running Buddies. Also the founding member of the infamous Zoo Crew. Who is this marvel among humankind? His name is James Salmond.

He has been a friend for longer then I care to remember. From way back in high school. I have seen little of him since his move to Atlanta many moons ago. I have visited only twice and he has come up when work allowed. Well now he has a house, dubbed "Mt.Olympus" and Bill (another friend of mine) and I are heading down there around the 22nd of April for a week to 10 days to help him clean up his apartment and move in. It is going to be a blast.

Also I should report that Iron Kingdoms is going well...Ok it is going great. The story is moving along and things are progressing well. I am using the Witchfire Trilogy as a skeleton for the events but as always adding my own special flavor.

Which brings up an interesting thing that I have been thinking about. As most of you have read here or lived, I once upon a time ran Star Wars. Well after closely considering the possible consequences of my actions I have decided to once again don the mantle of GL (George Lucas) and will be running it over the summer. Now for anyone reading this that is going to jump out of their seats there are a few points that I should make perfectly clear.

1) This is set in the time from the end of Episode 3 and Episode 4.
2) There will be no FORCE USERS!
3) It is not going to be the usual fare of one of my games. No galactic threats from beyond. A much simpler and saner game will it be.
4) I am changing things up a bit with character creation. I am merging D20 modern with the Star Wars system (both are D20 so they work together) to allow the creation of characters that I feel will better serve the players.

So there you have it. Yes I know I will get some light grief over the no force users but it is just one less thing for me to have to deal with and opens up some avenues of conflict that otherwise would be at best mundane.

Wow for not having much to say I have filled up quite a page. That about covers it right now. I will have more to say soon.

Again hope that everyone is in good health and spirits. If not then why haven't you called or emailed? You know that I am always willing to listen.

That's a wrap people!

May the Force be with you

Excelsior!!!
