Long Time Coming

So it's not like I been neglecting my blog on purpose or anything I just been super super busy and some recent things have happened, although I should of updated it regardless.  The first major thing that has happened is my normal computer I use crashed so currently I am using another one from time so I m not online as much as I used to be.  Also each week I been going to my friends and we been playing D20.  Kris has recently started a campaign involving mechs.  Basically they are like human controlled robots and so our characters control them fight bad guys and sometimes we do it like the cavemen do.  We walk and go into buildings and shoot up the bad guys.  Also I started my campaign the Zombie Apocalypse campaign.  I am working on it like a tv show in the sense that there is seasons so I finished season 1 in fact today I finished season 2.  Believe it or not this is super tough to do since you have to get the stats of monsters which don't exist so I basically make them up off the top of my head.  This is actually tough as well since you have to balance a monsters strength vs how much damage a creature can do.  You don't want your zombies super powerful but you don't want them super weak as well.  Players in D20 need and want a challenge.  On top of playing Dr. Frankenstein I also been reading here and there.  One of the current books I am reading is called Haunted Hollywood by Tom Ogden.  This book is about various ghosts and also haunted stories in Hollywood one of the things I like though besides the supernatural aspect of it, they talk about the history of Hollywood.  I also got a few other paranormal books as well one by Syliva Browne and one by Mary Ann Winkowski.  I know lots of people and even recently have really questioned Sylvia Browne's physic abilities.  With that at the same time the few books I have read by her I did actually enjoy and learned learning something new.

The Dead Shall Walk

So this past week I played D2o with my usual friends, although I think this upcoming week I might take a few days off of it to take care of some personal things here and there.  Anywhos when we played we did a campaign that is a bit of fantasy.  Basically in that world evil monsters are going to take over the world and our heroes need to stop them or else the world gets destroyed.  Wednesday we played my campaign I been working on a Zombie Apocalypse setting.  This game basically took place Scottsdale but more downtown / Lower Phoenix area.  The survivors are trying to get out of Arizona and so far they ran into some zombies and some other things.  One of the things I need to do in a couple of days is amp up some of my monsters to make them a slight bit powerful edge.  I also need to work on a storyline even though everything can change at a moment.  One thing I learned being a GM(Gamemaster) is that they direct the story but players or characters can change the story.  The GM has to be ready for anything and even have some side options if the story gets messed up or even has a way to get the characters back on track.  Characters are the actors and GM is the director / writer.
