But I'm not dead yet!!

Sorry for the lack of activity here, not that I have a following of more than a couple dozen repeat visitors since I started this site, but I have had little to say. None the less, I feel I need to make an appearance here to at least bring some things up to date.

First, I have not been ignoring the game design projects. Infact, I've been making more headway in my game designs over the past three months than in the rest of the time since I started this blog. Thing is, none of it is anywhere near presentable yet, nor is it even focused around a single project. Instead I been all over the place in working on various different projects. I've added to the TAGE game system, done a bit of work on Clashlands including the beginning of a 'monster manual' for the setting. I've also been working on my own offshoot from D20 3.5 and have been considering the idea of making my first real shots at self-publishing be in the form of stand-alone excerpts from the system in the form of alternate rule supplements I am currently calling "Rethinking D20" and the rule supplement I have actually been focusing on concerns the more general RPG concept of Action Points (as opposed to the current D&D versions of action points) and how to work them into the D20 rules as a replacement for the current initiative based and attacks per turn combat system.

Also, in addition to the time I have been spending as much time as I can muster working on trying to hammer out the my multitude of RPG related projects, I have also had unrelated but serious issues I won't get into distracting me in a big way from other facets of my life, but with any luck, these issues will be behind me within the next month.

Anyway, for those that may actually be following this blog or have any interest in the ideas that I have splashed up here, I may be going pretty slow right now, but I am not dead yet, nor is this blog.
