Greetings fellow readers, today I’m here to tell you about that very cryptic something that’s been taking up a majority of my free time lately. For once I’ve been absent from blogging for reasons other than my dayjob, life in general, or pure procrastination and I’m really excited to tell you a bit more about it.

I’ve been working with Sersa V from Save Versus Death and a handful of other very talented individuals on a project of somewhat epic proportions, a little something we’re calling Saturday Night Delves.

Saturday Night Devles (SND) are a series of one shot adventures for 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons set within the fourthcore vein, our aim is to recapture the fun and excitement of dungeon crawls of yore. Aimed at actually being able to pick one up and run it on any given night where you and your group have a few free hours, SND’s also come with all the materials you need to run the game along with optional tournament rules for competitive play and scoring.

SND adventures are challenging, innovative, deadly, evocative and most importantly – a ton of fun to play. Saturday Night Delves are not for the faint of heart, they will test both player and character skill as well as the DM’s. If you’re not familiar with what fourthcore is, I can give it to you in a nutshell; it’s a high risk – high reward, over the top challenging and often bleak playscape where ‘step and die’ rings as loud and clear as death bells themselves.

So it’s been over a week without much of an update here, gotta admit it seems the past month life has really had me by the dice bags. I’ve been caught in a swell of creating stuff for castle ravenloft, planning a new campaign for the fall, reading the rules compendium front to back and making arrangements to expand my website and put some flyers around FLGS’s in my area. Couple all this with a wishy washy desire to get back into LOTRO and my newly re-acquired lust for playing Halo till the wee hours of the morning and the end result is an absence of blog content!

I’m working on fleshing out a lot of projects at the moment, all gaming related of course so fret not loyal readers. If you poke around the site you might notice some subtle changes to the layout, I’m also toying with a new theme but I may decide against it. What do you think? It’s been an adjustment getting used to making posts for myrpgame.com as well as my own, I’m never really sure what to post here and what to post there and so on. I must say though ThadeousC has been great with me about post content and deadlines, and he’s super fun to work with. I think I’ve finally gotten a game plan together though and in the coming months you’ll be seeing a lot more usable content here along with my usual stories, reviews and editorials.

Another thing I’ve been working on is creating some content for submission to WoTC and perhaps a few other sources, the anxiety that comes with the thought of submitting my work is much more overwhelming than I had imagined. Turns out I’ve got a pretty bad case of internet stage fright, I know it seems silly for a guy who runs a blog and tweets all day but that is so much different than putting your name on something to have industry professionals scrutinize. It’s one thing to write a review of a product or a blurb about this and that, but creating something to be presentable at your absolute best is daunting, at least for me.
