So it’s been a few days since I’ve updated. Applying for jobs does cut into one’s spare time. Since I’m now waiting to hear back from the job I applied to, I’ll have lots of opportunities to work on the site some more – if for nothing else than to keep myself busy so I don’t drive myself mental waiting to hear back on whether or not I was hired.
I’ve posted the first chapter in one of my converted d20 Modern modules. I’m using actions that were done by the actual players in my campaign, with a little dialogue added to keep it in more of a story format. Unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to finish the entire module as I left for my internship in Texas. We never picked it back up because so much time had passed and there were many more games to play! Hopefully that will not be the case in the future!
A few more site things to touch on. The Stuff link at the top (will be renamed later) has been updated with some more content. I’ve added some of my favorite links, comics and websites. I’ve also included a kind of ‘getting started’ guide for those of you who are new to this kind of thing.
The forums have a few new users, and hopefully things will be picking up in the near future. Again, I’m trying to get the word out of our existence. I know there are a lot of people who favor this genre, it’s just a matter of getting them all together in one place! Feel free to register at the forums and the blog – doing both isn’t required, but I would certainly enjoy it.
Contributors:
I would like to welcome new contributor RJDiogenes to the family. His stuff will start going up on the website as soon as possible. He tells me he’s got a lot in store for us and I can’t wait to look at more of his work!
For those who want to be a contributor to Armageddon Planet, all you have to do is shoot me an e-mail with a request and a sample of your work!submissions@armageddonplanet.com
So in unrelated news, I’m ashamed to admit that Starbucks here in Spring has become a favored hangout of mine. Right now we’re staying in a one-bedroom hotel room and it tends to get rather cramped in there, so we decided to get out a few hours a day and the nearest (and most cost effective) method has been the local Starbucks. I’ve always thought (and will continue to think) that they are the Wal*Mart of coffee. At least an iced coffee is cheap, if not particularly appealing to the palate. Chris would have me believe I just don’t like good coffee, but truth be told he doesn’t like them either.
Vindication!!
