Hope you all had a good Memorial Day weekend.  And special wishes to those of my friends, family, and readers who have served in the Armed Forces.   This weekend was a busy one, with family in town for the weekend, but for a change, that did not interfere with our gaming.

We were able to get a Global Frequency session in on Friday, before the family arrived.  It was just Sargon, Spenser, and I, but GF runs great in small groups, so it was just fine.  I think the session went off great.  Our latest rule upgrades really worked well, and helped to make th game go much smoother.  We did identify four issues that we needed to address, but they were all pretty minor, issues.

I spent part of Saturday, coming up with some ideas for how to solve those issues, and sent them out for review.  Only one place left to revamp, and that is the gear section.  It is the ability of the Agents to be able to call in for extra gear in the middle of an operation.  So far Gear has not been a real issue in the game, but it still needs some work, to be really cool.

All in all, the GF material is coming out great, and I plan to play a few of these scenarios, with some friends at GenCon in August.

I also got some time in to read more of the Corporation RPG.  I really like this game.  It’s only weakness is that the rules are a bit scattered, and could be better organized.  But it is a high-octane, hard Sci-Fi game that has roots in both Cyberpunk 2020 and d20.  It has a very rich background, and is easy to imagine the world, and playing in it.  A trait that is key for me when looking over a game.

On Monday, Sargon came over to do some grillin’ and we talked about our upcoming games.  It looks like this summer is going to be a good gaming summer.  We have 4e coming out, which Spenser is going to run for us shortly after it comes out.  Sargon is just weeks away from having his new Star Wars: Saga Edition campaign ready to.  My Iron Heroes game is gearing up for its final storylines.  And with some Global Frequency one-shots and some demoing of Corporation RPG it should make a fine summer of role playing.

This week, at Encoded Designs, I am going to gush about my new favorite program, Microsoft One Note, and how I have been using it for my Global Frequency game.  Also, I will be writing a piece for Gnome Stew, on wikis and their place in RPG’s, later in the week.

That is it here.   See you during the week.
