Prep for first-time Hellblazer-ish Sorcerer
Ron Edwards:
Hooray! That sounds wonderful.
Thanks for sticking with it.
Best, Ron
Ron Edwards:
Considering their importance to the discussion, I thought it'd be good to reference all Joel's Over the Edge threads here.
[Over the Edge] Killing the dilemma
[Over the Edge] Bangs or whimpers?
[OtE] Cats successfully herded
[OtE] A paper trail to nowhere
[OtE] Rewards
Confessional: I was an illusionist wanker!
[OtE] Dice for the masses
I forgot how damn many there were! I had to go back and follow up with some edits to get them all. What should be the overall title? "Joel's Long Dark Night of the Narrativist Soul," or something like that.
Best, Ron
Joel P. Shempert:
Yeah, I was surprised as well to discover how many I'd cranked out. I had to do a lot of skimming to remember which ones I really wanted to read, when I was reviewing! Thanks for compiling them all. That'll save me a lot of search time in the future (though I suppose I could just bookmark 'em, eh?).
Peace,
-Joel
PS hope to get the AP up of the Sorcerer session before I leave for the weekend. The next session will be next Wednesday.
Joel P. Shempert:
Oh! I almost forgot, I wanted to give a bit of commentary/guide fr those who want to go hunting, so you don't necessarily have to dredge through all the threads.
Killing the Dilemma,
Paper trail to Nowhere,
and Illusionist Wanker!
all document various facets of my frustration and failings. I actually recommend reading Wanker! First, since it actually chronicles the earliest stage of my struggle.
Bangs or Whimpers?
Cats Successfully Herded,
and Dice for the Masses
Are the threads about games that went more or less right, and I started to enjoy myself in the endeavor. Here and there are little snippets of me stating with clarity and conviction what I want out o roleplaying and how to get it (which of course I completely forgot about practicing as the last couple of years went by!)
And Rewards is just a little hiccup of a thread as I feel out possible gimmicky little mechanical mods to jumpstart the Narr. . .except that it contains the absolute gem of Ron explaining lucidly how OTE can rock hard, which turns out to be NOT AT ALL how I and my group was approaching it.* :P
Happy reading!
Peace,
-Joel
*oddly enough, Ron, immediately after you posted that, I was talking with one of my players, and he expressed to me (quite independently) that Over the Edge seems like it would be cool in a sort of rotating cast game of short overlapping story arcs. If only we had a time machine!
