CM Simpson: Writer & Gamer

Adventure 1 The writing on this project is going well. Yesterday, after posting here, I added 2,000 words in adventure, new creatures, and spells. Today, I added another 2,000 words, although it was slow and frustrating. I created a template when I started writing this adventure, which means I have to remove unused parts of the template as I go, which means I go backwards in words. In spite of this word removal, the adventure and appendices now stand at 22,000 words. I'm fairly happy with that, as I have added details for seven new creatures, two variations on existing creatures, and two completely new spells. I have almost completely written the details for two more new creatures, but need to sleep on the equipment, magic and abilities. All in all, not a bad day. Next Up: Catch the first installment of the first free read.

Emdras Campaign   Session 2 of the Emdras Campaign semi-complete. Session 3 is in planning - just as soon as we can work out a date we are all available for play. Post on Sessions 1 and 2 up soon. Writing Been thinking of how to approach this. I think I'll just call the books by their working titles, but the adventures I want to submit for publication I'll just call Adventure #, until I do or don't have a contract for them, and then I'll give all the details once I have permission. Free Reads to come. Writing Update Adventure 1: is a contemporary paranormal fantasy adventure. It currently stands at 18,000 words. Finished length should be between 30,000 and 35,000 including stats and descriptions for new items, spells and creatures. I'm looking to finish it on the 22nd, maps by the 25th, playtesting and revision by the 30th and submission on the 31st of this month. Anyhow, back to writing, while the baby is content to play.
