Gene: Non Gaming

Hmmm... an update on gaming. As per the trend in the last couple of years, the gaming group (specifically the pen and paper role-playing kind) have evolved into using the blogs as their means of playing. With the advent of the D&D 4th edition, we have also adapted that system into the game process.

We have just finished a campaign using 4e and 3.5e/Pathfinder's adventure path adventure: Burnt Offering. We called the game Sandpoint. It's basically a 4e converstion of the pathfinder adventure. The goal of the campaign was to learn more about the 4e system. So far, the gaming group likes it (or has simply adapted). DM has decided to pause the game and would probably continue with the 2nd part after a brief break.

In the meantime, Stephen has picked up the DM's mantle and started a Spelljammer 4e campaign. It's supposed to be based on the 2e Spelljammer basics, 3e's proposed campaign setting and a couple of Gazetteer influenced backgrounds. However, it's still having a rough time lifting off the ground. I'm still unsure if it's because of the lack of the interest of the players or simply the newness of the campaign setting/system.

I've checked the blogs and I think DM's gearing up with another project in the meantime. Seems he's trying to revive an old eberron campaign - CSI: Sharn. It's mostly detective work. Currently it's revised for a solo adventure but might change once the other players get wind of it. Will post another update when things move along.
