I love RPGs and GMing. I'd love to be running more than one campaign right now. Unfortunately, the one game I'm running is Scion. Beautiful setting, but really tempermental rules. I spend too much time developing and balancing things for it to find the time for a second campaign. Okay, I probably could, provided it was a really light system and the campaign involved a lot of improvisation.
- I've worked out the framework of a Orky conversion for Dark Heresy, for example, but it's too rules-heavy to risk trying to run it simultaneous to Scion.
- Ditto for Cyberpunk - I can improvise sessions of MOC, but really honing the craft of CP2020 takes a lot of work.
- The Esoterrorists is rules-light enough, but serious mystery plotlines take a good deal of forethought to work.
Even so, there's many other things on my list.
Tons of old stuff from my various campaigns and harddrives that I aught to stick up on this blog.
I've had some luck with CameraMan, and digitizing my old videos. I also have a script for serious film that doesn't have anything to do with any of that. I want to film more, do more, etc.
I just learned a hot debugging tool for Weird Worlds mods - it could be worth my time to take another crack at Weirdyssey or at least an update of my previous mods.
I miss Magic: The Gathering. I really miss it. I moved to the city where it's made, and promptly stopped playing or judging. How stupid is that? At the time, I needed the break from it, but now the cardboard crack is calling to me. Two awesome sets have released since I last played, and a third even cooler set is but a few weeks away. If I got a job, I could go buy a bunch of cards, but a job would cut down on time for the other projects, and I'd also have to go find a gamestore or tournament center I liked enough to bus to on a regular basis when I could be spending that time playing other games (or doing other things) with my wife.
There's several books on my reading list, too.
Blog posts to write.
Political activism I should be spending my time and energies on.
And I really mean to take a drive down to Portland just as soon as the car is in proper working order again.
EDIT: Painting! I can't believe I made that list and didn't mention painting. I have planned out my next several canvases, but haven't freed up the time to do anything about them!
I have every hour I could possibly expect, and they are not enough. How did this happen? How did I operate back when work (and LARP) filled my hours and days? I used to be so good at budgeting time - yet ironically having more of it seems to have made me forget how to schedule and prioritize it.
