Brooding

Working on the KTDARPG season-four digest has put me in a broody frame of mind. Remembering where we've been, how much it took us to get this far. There've been some great scenes by a lot of players, some great writing, some gripping moments.

Characters have lived, loved, fought 'n died.

Characters have faded into 'n out of our lives.

We've fought battles, fought each other, fought to bring our personal visions--and our personal characters--to live in the game.

Why?

That's a rhetorical question. I know why. I feel the same reason. Well ... reasons. We adventure through our characters. Or we escape. Or we create. Or we dream. 100 different reasons, 100 different motivations, all for the same end result -- this little rpg that was created almost 3 years ago.

You done good when you set it up, the First Family. If I remember right, that was: Xeno, Ari, Prince, Savinius, Kava, Mimi. That leaves Xeno, Ari & Prince as the Original-3. The rest aren't with us right now. I think they'd enjoy seeing what the game they started has become.

We've come a long way, just from last season. Getting past the hurricane and the winter, finding new ways to live and interact, adding a lot of new players to the roster. (We're glad you're here.) And the story's come a long way too.

New ideas, new directions, new dramas, new possibilities.

I'm looking forward to nightfall and the coming storm.
