I started a somewhat aborted blog a while ago. As it turns out a while is pretty close to six years. You can still find it here.
There are eight posts there, most of which were written in 2020. All are on the topic of fantasy tabletop roleplaying games. Have a look if you like.
That blog was intended to be for that purpose, fantasy tabletop roleplaying games. This blog is not. I figure if you're going to have a personal website, why not make it full of all the personality you like. To that end, this is my tabletop roleplaying games, physics, software, science-fiction & fantasy, old movies, and just about anything else I decide to publish an article about blog.
I'm in the tentative ideation and prototyping stages of two slightly overlapping projects right now.
- 1. Hex-mapping tool a la Worldographer. Approached as data-driven and with more 'image-editor'-like functionality such as selecting an area of the screen and moving, copying and pasting, scaling, rotating, or deleting it. The ambition for this comes 50/50 from frustrations with worldographer and others of it's type, and a desire to stretch my fingers when it comes to software development. Chances are I cannot build something better than their second iteration at a product people paid for, but even if I don't I'll learn something about application development.
- 2. A play-by-post realtime wargame in a setting with a vibe something between 1880 and 1920. Meaning big artillery guns, the supremacy of the defensive position, and early 'scientific' warfare and logistical attrition. Inspired by Sam Sorensens Cataphracts of which I've been lucky to play in one game as a faction leader, as well as free kriegsspiel, and Gary Grigsby's War In The East, a game I have always liked the idea of but never taken up. This would be run over some combination of discord for command and communications input into a discord bot running the actual tokens on a map part of the logic.
I guess my interests haven't changed that much in six years.
I plan to sporadically update on both as I progress, if only to claw back some sanity by talking into the void rather than nobody.
