Wild Wednesday

Wild Wednesday!

So many topics…. what should I talk about?

Let’s visit on Gaming today!

I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons for 27 years. I played 2nd edition. I started to run games when 3rd edition was released.

That being said I am not happy with the newer editions of D&D. 4th edition was entirely too combat oriented, and 5th edition has simplified it down to the point that it is not fun for the nerd who enjoys the complexities of the original game. I run Pathfinder. It has all of the fun that I grew to love in the original game.

I love the roleplaying and the imagination that goes into every aspect of the game.

What as a publisher do I think of the leaked OGL 1.1? Wizards of the Coast tried with 4th edition to revoke their OGL and failed. I think that legally there was too much that was actually involved in the publication of game books that people thought was controlled by Wizards that was not. I think that Pathfinder releasing their own version of a OGL called ORC will help to expand the market for gaming material. I remember in 2nd edition if you wanted a monster or an item you had to create it yourself. The market is flooded with options now. It is fairly amazing.

I have been working on a game world of my own. I don’t know if I will ever get it to releasable state…so many details to get put in. I have run quite a few games in said world.

Okay, I got something! I used to love mythology… like ALL of them. I mean I enjoy the random stories of the spider god Anansi… and the Celtic mythology of the Fae… and…. and…. and….

So that being said… I found a way to say that someone knows nothing about mythology (Greek) without actually having to say that…

Talk about the opposite of relationship goals 😂😂😂

Starting the Year off with the first actual Wild Wednesday…This should be interesting… Currently I am not even sure what to talk about…I feel like I opened up topics and now I am terrified that I will drive y’all away with my actual interests…Stupid right?

So Let’s Talk Movies. I don’t watch as many as I used to, but I have some defined favorites. I was really into theater as a teen. So many of my favorite movies have technical things that make them amazing.

I want to recommend a movie that I feel has been forgotten. The Uninvited. No, not that new one, but the black and white ghost story from 1944. It not only had an amazing story, but what few effects were used were pulled off flawlessly. I felt like this could have been performed on a stage and still pulled off. It was only mildly scary, which for a ghost story is a good thing, and it had such a sweet story to pull the viewer in.

What movie would you recommend that is mostly unknown? and why?

So, a few posts ago I mentioned thinking about doing some changes to the content of the blog. Wednesday being an area that has been bothering me. While I enjoy talking about Webcomics…I feel like it is a limiting area on me. I am all over the place in my interests and Wednesday should be my day to talk about what I am interested in. By making it more broad the idea that I have nothing to talk about goes down. If nothing else I can do a random post about a cosplay idea I have or talk about a movie I saw or a book I read or or or…I feel like it opens my options up more and maybe makes my blog more interesting to read. I may add an occasional Social Media Sunday in…basically where I do a post about an event I am doing on social media, but for now going into 2023 the blog is going to have Monday Poetry, Tuesday Tunes, Wild Wednesday, Artsy Fartsy Thursday, Friday Share…That seems to be a good change.
