More on Chrono Layer

Formerly Terminus Zol, Chrono Layer, the game I've been talking about for the summer, will (tentatively) run next saturday. It'll be based in the Realm, on the border of Molth and Vereon. I want people to do a group character creation thing, so if people are going to have a good idea for their characters, be able to talk about you're character's back story to the group, but don't show up with a filled in character sheet quite yet. If people want to talk to me about it, which would be great, I'd sure love emails.

The basis, for people who don't know, or forgot, or what have you, is as follows.
  • Elric the Wandering King has just passed away.
  • We begin the game at his funeral
  • All characters must necessarily be in some way related in a positive way to Elric
  • Elric was the heir to two dynasties in Molth and Vereon
  • Formerly the king of both empires, civil war caused uprooted him and he became "The Wandering King"
  • He traveled with the characters for an extended period before his death
  • Elric was a noble person and was admirable from many points of view.

“King Elric was an amazing man. I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say that he was the greatest man I ever knew. He touched each one of us and instilled in us the power to continue, the drive to succeed, and the will to be great like him. Its already a darker world without him, but I know that he would be upset to see us mourning him. He was the kind of man who taught you things so you would learn, not so he could feel superior. I think he’d want us to continue in his honorable legacy with proud hearts. I knew Lord Elric Salamos Murilia Larcanthian the Wandering King and he made me stronger.”
-Eulogy given by Lady Eley Locanthus Larcanthian at the Funeral 370 FW

I'm also still interested in running a game based of some of the concepts in Elfen Lied. I'm still working on the plot line of the thing, but so far the idea is basically that humans are the bad guys for once.

As for the comic, I'm getting work done on the plot line, and pretty soon I'm going to be getting serious on the character designs. Be sure to watch my art site in the future for those designs.

BESM and Comics

Alright everybody. I've spent last night and this afternoon building and tuning a new website page for Arcandio.com. Its for a new comic I will be attempting. Yes, I said attempting. I seem to be unable to hold myself to a comic for very long. This new site will allow me to update it really really frequently (Daily basically) but with only a frame or two, so that I dont get burnt out, but can get into a routine of doing it. Right now, I'm struggling for a plot line. It shouldn't be too hard, I'll just dig through some old story ideas.

Also, I'm working up an idea for another BESM game this summer, If I have time. The idea is based heavily on Elfen Lied. My thoughts right now are pitting the players as Diclonius against Humanity. Yeah, this time, humans are the bad guys. Still fleshing that one out too.

I've got a lot of stuff to think about these days. I have several unfinished ideas cropping up as you can see, but I plan to have a lot of this stuff finished and ready by the end of the semester.

Anarchic Weekend +4

Wow. I'm going to attempt to recount my weekend here. I may stumble, but I'll use Google Calendar to help me remember.
THURSDAY: Homework, writing, planning for Shirow, working out some stuff for BESM.
FRIDAY: More writing, more homework, plot for FNG complete, Friday Night Gaming, Introduction of Volk's character, Shirow's assassination and aftermath, journey to the Magia for her resurrection. Late movie, I think.
SATURDAY: Wake up, eat and go to game an hour later, Beek's Ptolus. Game game, return to Apartment, eat, hour later, BESM starts. BESM goes until 2am or so, then its WoW until about 3-4. then sleep. (yes, count them, about 3 hours of NON game time ALL of saturday)
SUNDAY: Wake up, heckling for more BESM, half hearted attempt to arrange a BESM reunion, only hours after. Failed. Half of reading complete.
MONDAY: Other half of reading complete. Change Shirow's domain Travel to Magic.

Phew. Sure I forgot something in there. what a weekend.
