What a busy weekend.  I was charged with watching my son for the weekend, which was quite a handful.  But I did manage to get some gaming in.  On Saturday night, I got together with Sargon, Spenser, and Dr. J and played some more 4e demo material.  This time, Spenser was able to get from the guys on ENworld a cobbled together Dragonborn Warlord for me to try.  It’s an interesting character class, that somewhat reminds me of the Hunter character class from Iron Heroes. The session was fun, and we got into some good combats and got to try out some of the Warlord combats.

I also spent part of the weekend writing my post for the launch of Gnome Stew.  It was a fun post to write, and I liked the way it came out.  So go and check it out.

This week, I have an article on my progress with my Global Frequency homemade rules.  That post is actually written and in the queue, so expect to see that later this week.  This is my writing week so we will see if I can get another article written this week.  My session notes for this upcoming session were about 75% written a few weeks ago, before my session got canceled.  So there may be some time for some additional writing later this week.

So come around and see whats cooking on the site.

Hello all.

Big geek weekend this past weekend. Friday was a bit slow, worked on some notes for my upcoming Global Frequency game. Saturday I made it out, with a number of the guys from my gaming group to see Iron Man. Excellent film, and a another quality piece for Marvel’s stable of movies. I would have to say that this ranks above X-men 3, and on par with X-man 2.

On Sunday, our gaming group got together to discuss the state of gaming within our group. The talk was very productive and we came up with a number of updates to our social contract. Some of which include:

So last week, I talked about the Hard and Soft Skills of being a GM. This week, I am going to look at my own path of GM Mastery and see how my recent understanding of hard and soft skills has given me insight into what things I should do next. Along the way, I hope to inspire you to perform some self-evaluation and start to understand your own path to GM Mastery.
