Keeping it Warm

Another busy semester is in progress. I did get a recent jonesing for pen-and-paper D&D, though. Specifically, I started sketching out an interesting half-orc wizard concept, but I had no way to squeeze him into my schedule. Then I thought of trying some play-by-post--you know, just a few minutes a day as a player--and thus found The Tangled Web.

I've been lurking here for a while, particularly watching this Arval Prison game. But, though I started a digital character sheet, I haven't gotten the time to actually finish it. If I can't even do that, there's no sense joining a game.

But, this brief foray back to D&D also brought me back to Zilch. I've actually been poking at that on and off for the last couple weeks, tidying things up here and there. It's still rather quirky in spots, but I like it, even after a long break. So I'm keeping that warm and we'll see what happens.

I've got a few programming, TA, and course projects building up, though, so it looks like I'll need to put the RPGing back down again for a while. Damn, there's just not enough time in the day anymore!
