Time for updates!
Hello, faithful readers.
Coming back my website and looking at the date of my last post, I have to say that I feel really bad. A full year without any updates. Really, there's no excuse for that. First off, I'd like to offer my apologies to you, my faithful readers.
2010, as far as years go, but particularly bad. I lost where I live, so I experienced homelessness for a while. Trust me, I don't wish that on anybody. After losing my home, I also lost my father. And all that was only in the first half of the year!
However, I choose not to dwell on the past, as doing so is to merely provide an excuse and I don't want to be making excuses. 2010 is over, and 2011 is here. But so far, I'd say it's going pretty well.
In case anybody's been talking, no, I have NOT given up on Heroes of Oz. However, after many years, the rules finally do exactly what I want them to do: they emulate playing an adventure in an Oz book. I am ecstatically happy with these rules. They have been playtested and, I have to say, it was the most fun I've ever played a game.
My goal is to post at least once a week. I'm keeping you all in the loop, because things are getting more and more exciting with this game. Currently, I'm getting all of the rules merged with all the setting information, then it goes into layout. As the weeks go on, I'll be providing previews of the rules as well as character write ups both from the books as well as original characters.
By the way, as promised, I will continue my series on video games and tabletop roleplaying.
Anyways, keep coming back for more updates. I look for to what's coming and I hope you do, too.
For Oz!
So sorry to hear of your troubles in 2010 – I myself am going through a time of trials right now, so I sympathize. And I’m so glad you’re still hopeful and still rarin’ to go – things always get better and it seems that they are for you.
“Heroes of Oz” is one of the most exciting projects around at the moment as far as I’m concerned, and I wish you so much luck and send you much encouragement. I know that I will be in line on day one when the finished product is available for purchase. I’m currently working on my own project (non Oz related), so I know how slowly these things can move, but hang in there, my friend.
I’m in the process of re-reading all 40 Oz books right now. Whenever I’m in a bad way I turn to them and they provide comfort. Really looking forward to conducting an Oz adventure of my own through the medium of your game. Best wishes.
Oh my word! That had to be a harrowingrowing experience for you, and I am grateful you came through it!
(So grateful that I shall resist the temptation to pun with a Camp Granada song. But not successfully.)
We pray things are much, much better for you now, even in these unstable times.
Thank you, and things have gotten a lot better in the intervening years. The magic of Oz has its way of making things work out. 😀
