1) Traslating + expanding "The Palace of Eternal Illusion" to publish in FO!
2) Gaming and developing a setting along the way.

I was just rounding out my "Gig Young repertoire" with THE SHUTTERED ROOM (1967). Review? Don't bother unless you're a "SPECTRE (1978 TV film) fanatic" like me!

What else specifically rpg related?

The space game.... some work not much.

The various fantasy... plowing on and on.

The campaign has a doom upon it, perched on the edge of a knife as they say, part of me wants to continue with a replacement and another wants to start all over with new blood.

Gene, fire cleans all. Burn it down and build it up again.

Never continue a campaign that bores the DM. It will inevitably show. I'm with Wheggi - burn it down and start over.

I'm preparing to start the third year of my school campaign. This year we have a spinoff group in Middle School - they already know the basics, so I printed up some copies of Labyrinth Lord and let 'em at it. I'll be running a brand new group of 5th/6th grade newbies through the Caves of Chaos, which is kind of becoming my Stairway to Heaven. This will also mark the first year I'll be paid for playing D&D throughout the entire year, a nice little $2600 bonus. More than enough to feed my own gaming jones all year long.

Meanwhile, I'm collaborating with a buddy on a graphic novel about expat hijinks in a whorehouse/Australian-themed sports bar in Phnom Penh entitled Everything is Riel. Look for it in finer comic-book stores, headshops and adult bookstores later this year. Just don't tell anybody you know my name!

My house was robbed over the last weekend - thankfully I didn't lose my hard drive or any of my notebooks, but it certainly has set back my budget for high-end electronics. I've got a bunch of writing projects in various stages of completion - all are in limbo while I wait to replace my dying computer, which the bandits sensibly didn't steal. My biggest project, my campaign world, is pretty much finished in longhand and hand-drawn form but needs a serious shakedown with Photoshop, et. al.

Finally, I'm buying a restaurant/bar in a neighboring SE Asian country, due to be a done deal in late April. I've been drawing up proposals for the decor lately and am leaning in favor of a 3-wall mural based either on the Erol Otus Deities & Demigods cover or the Trampier Player's Handbook cover... or is that going too far??

I dunno. Is it going too far for me to visit Asia just to see and photograph the mural and make you buy me a drink on the house?

I'm with TRP. I can't say I've ever felt an urge to visit SE Asia before reading this paragraph. Now, well...keep us posted.

My only experiences with SE Asia are Hong Kong, Singapore, and Bali, so I'm obviously not on the same sheet of music with you (oh, and I did sail past Vietnam thinking it's been a long time since a Boney was there...).

If the area you're in is anything like Bali, might I suggest a vaguely Lovecraftian theme?

Kellri, I think you may have trumped your previous awesomeness with an even bigger heapin' helpin' of awesomeness! Send me a picture of yourself, so I can sell it on shirts and mugs through Cafe Press.

I just may have to sell everything I have, just so I can give up the life I know and spend my days drunk in the Erol Otis bar, surrounded by 'buy me drinkee' girls singing bad kareoke . . .

... I knew I should have barred Kellri from this thread based on the likelihood that he'd make my life seem washed out and lame. Dammit.

The bar I'm buying is situated next to a large 24-hr whorehouse/Australian-themed sports bar with 4 flos of hos and sexpats. The one thing you aren't allowed to do in that place is smoke the ganj - which is the primary goal in my place. At $1.50 a jay, beer for $1, I hope to siphon off some of the punters from next door who need to chill out before diving back into the more expensive pleasures.

Will there be a back room for illegal roleplaying?

Did they play that in Wormy, too?
