It's gotten awfully quiet

Oh lordy, I had to replace one of my hard drives on my old computer. It was a whole weekend of terror ("please don't die, please don't die, what's that clicking sound?") that involved copying everything to a new drive with identical partitions. Windows 7 is actually remarkably hardy when you copy it directly from one disk to another, and I had no issues after the transplant, thank goodness. I did have to run a repair process to get it to like the new boot partition (I think that's what it was after), but then it worked without a hitch.

Also, I've had hard drives fail on me. I wrote a game I called "Steeltech" once, and it was awesome as hell (in my 15/16 year-old mind), a hard sci-fi grim adventure game with a nice system (I don't remember what exactly, but it compared relatively favorably to d20, and I think it used similar dice). I believe I lost that to a hard drive failure, though I may dig it up years from now on a drive that was discarded when a computer died for other reasons. To some degree Orchestra retains a lot of elements I remember from Steeltech, though it's a lot lower on the tech scale.

I should have also added that I've been working on my Goblin game over the last few weeks.

I realise that this is a free RPG site and pimping your purchasable wares is bad form, but if anyone around here would be interested in supporting the project, it would be much appreciated.

You'll get a nifty deck of cards and a booklet of games for your trouble.

You can find the project at...

Well, I've got an excuse. Sort of. I've started a PhD and coursework, therapy (for my stroke recovery) and adjusting to the new city take up all my extra time. I just thought I'd check in here in one of my spare moments. I won't be designing anything anytime soon, as pretty much all of my time writing is spent elsewhere.

Hope you're all busy designing.

Been busy playing! Played Mouse Guard the other day with two friends, and just got the new Burning Wheel Gold.

Get well soon madunkieg! Hope your recovery is holistic.

I have been playing minecraft and being a Dad. I'm still running Commando 1940 every Tuesday and it's good fun but I've not done any creating or blogging for months. With the long evenings I will no doubt be doing some more creating with my spare time.

Rumours of my death are greatly exaggerated. I have been busy with work/family/child/academia it can be hard to get everything in.

I love 1km1kt and I've been visiting and reading without replying or contributing. Because I just haven't had time to string together constructive posts. When did that ever stop me before?

I coordinated this Lang/MrE Forum bombing to encourage you guys to keep visiting and contributing. Even though I/we may not be adding much to the conversation. We're still listening.

1km1kt needs you guys!
