[Update] Week ending 25th of April

The quietest week I've had in a long time in regards to writing. School holidays and family events limited my free time to just reading RPG material rather than writing it. Of everything on my plate, the only real progress I made was on a new Conspiracy X blog. That said, I did write a bunch of content for it, as well as conduct a text interview with the previous Line Dev - David F. Chapman...
 
I'd provide a link, but at the moment I'm simply working on the content and structure.

[Update] Week Ending 18/04/2016

Another one of those weeks when things I've previously started begin to be delivered. This week it was:
  • An article on the Shattered City and Gateway for my Sundered Skies blog.
  • More work on various Dark Conspiracy ideas, including 'Incident at Redview' as well as my April update for the DCtRPG.info site - In the Referee's Toolkit.
  • Finally I worked further on 'The Oldest Tower', which has become more complex than I'd originally hoped*.  I normally refrain from predicting what I'll work on in the upcoming week, but I suspect this draft will be done this week.
* I was looking at another 'The Well' type of adventure, but my poor brain hates random dungeons that have no real reason to exist - I mean who has a tavern in a room you've got to fight your way too?

Week Ending 11th April

Another quiet week on the writing front, with lots going on around home and at work. My achievements this week include:
  • More work on 'Incident at Redview', my Dark Conspiracy adventure.
  • Putting together a one-off supernatural noir Skype game. It went down pretty well, and might deserve a sequel this week. Lots of referencing Nameless Streets, a urban fantasy sourcebook by Charles Green
  • I have started adapting an old Mini Six setting I wrote - Guardians of Milndor - to the Dark Sagas game system. I like the simplicity of Dark Sagas and Guardians, a game of playing dark fantasy city watchmen, suits it well.

Week ending 4th April 2016

Two months down, and I'm still going strong with this Marcus Writes blog!

A quiet week for me after Easter's massive update, but, shock and horror, I got side tracked reading an actual physical book! Will wonders never cease!

  • Did more work on my Dark Sun based Fantasy Age setting. It's pretty much ready to go...
  • I posted a post up on Marcus Muses - my thoughts of games where the setting and system fail to match.
  • I revisited an old Dark Conspiracy scenario idea, and once I got my head around some of the structure it is looking good. As part of this I got side tracked with another DC idea... but fortunately I wasn't distracted for too long.
  • Finally, my Esoterrorists adventure - The Breeders - got some work. I have to say that writing in a book seems much easier than typing up the notes - I have some sympathy for someone like Tolkien now :P
