| Bio: | This journal is specifically and solely for the purposes of posting my roleplaying game works. In order to keep a firmer handle of the vast morass of burgeoning thought and fetid creativity I call a mind I have decided to keep a record of the additions and improvements to the original titles I am creating. Further, I will include all the major updates I make to the number of d10 modifications I am working on currently. I hope to gain a clearer picture of the work I am attempting, as well as benefit from other ideas running over my titles for the purposes of peer editing, criticism, and perhaps encouragement. I am not publishing any of my modifications for the purposes of monetary gain. I do not own the rights to any of the settings or characters I use in my mods, nor do I own the right to the d10 Storyteller system. I am producing these works for recreational use only, and will never make a penny from them. Any donations I ask for are not used to purchase any of the mods I have worked on. I am modding these settings to d10 because I believe that the d10 Storyteller system is the best roleplaying system on the market. I am an admirer and a fanatic for each and every mod I produce. It is never my intention to harm or detract in anyway from any of the settings I adapt. I simply mod for the love of modding; nothing more. Hey! Watch your language. If you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer them, but you need not sully my journal with your gutter talk. Now onto the NAQ (Never Asked Questions…yeah, yeah, I stole that from my writing journal). What is this journal about? Really? I just answered this one…well, I’ll say it again. This journal is where I will be posting all my roleplaying works; from original titles to mods. Why another new journal? Don’t you have like 6 already? Yes, I do, but to be honest, I really don’t want to clog up Friends Pages with roleplaying updates. My writing journal is for fiction and poetry. This will be a bit more…technical, but still very creative. Hopefully. I’ve never gamed in my life. I don’t even know what d10 means. How can I possibly be of help? I have many friends that know gaming backwards and forwards. I have many that don’t know the difference between Wits and Intelligence, too. If you have a firm grasp on grammar and sentence structure, have a good eye for content and page formats, or have a little of that elusive common sense, you are more than welcome here! So, can I ever…request a finished product? Certainly! As stated above, I am not in this racket to make a single dime. I do this for pleasure and for self-actualization. As soon as a project is finished, I will save it all up and post a request form where you can get a copy of the finished work. Now that we have that out of the way, now to the fun part: projects! Original Title Updates My original titles are completely unique settings I am working on; then I will adapt them to d10 to see how they fit. Sometime in the future I will develop my own gaming system, which I will then use to convert my original projects to my very own work. I will then release these under my own publishing company! Awesome, eh? Legends Legends is my foray into the realm of fantasy, sword and sorcery, and the like. I am taking a very classical approach, and focusing on Epics. The lore and legend of a hero, from humble beginnings to apotheosis. The setting of Legends is a unique land in which an isolated island of humanity, where the various governmental functions are carried out by religious organizations. Gods provide the source of inspiration for all of humanity, and the world is in a state of equilibrium until the forces of evil are unleashed upon an unsuspecting land. Legends concerns itself with all the classics of Epics like the Aenid and Beowulf. Epithets, fantastical weapons and artifacts, nemeses, and the dichotomy of the powerful emotion of those chosen by the Gods. Needless to say, this is going to be a very interesting undertaking, which has already been on my plate since last summer. I hope you’re just as interested as I am to see how it turns out. Legends Updates Untitled Science Fiction Work As a sci-fi geek, I’d be remised if I didn’t try my pompous hand at a work of aliens, spaceships, and ghastly potential futures! I’ve decided to mix every aspect of science fiction I enjoy into a dizzyingly huge universe (in order to open up lots of gaming possibilities). I’ve decided to also include horrors beyond the comprehension of man in homage to the master of science fiction, H. P. Lovecraft. This work will be about exploration, reconciling differences, and fighting back the encroaching chaos that threatens to tear mankind asunder. It will determine how far a character is willing to go in order to survive and just how much humanity one can lose before they are no longer human. It will definitely be a big project, but the bigger the project, the more I have to work with, right? I can’t wait to play in this concept. Untitled Science Fiction Work Updates Untitled Cinema Work I was raised on a steady cinema diet of 80’s over-the-top action films, kung-fu movies, and later on blood operas. Something about these works just appeals to be on the most primal of levels, and I feel it’d be a crime not to try my hand at a composition of at least one Hong Kong blood opera. This work involves a number of variable settings that allow you to custom tune any game to any genre. A grittiness level lets you determine if your game will be a film noir or a Matrix-esque slugfest; while a cinematics level allows for the creation of special effects like wall-walking and gun kata. Finally, I will include a fun little module that will let you play an actor, hoping to rise in the action genre to a top star. This is of course a loving tribute to the Hong Kong Action! Theater. This will be a real crowd-pleaser, I hope. Untitled Cinema Work Updates Untitled Survivor Work A request from the crew, I have decided to attempt my own post-apocalyptic setting ala Road Warrior, Waterworld, Tank Girl, and other similar concept. I don’t want to give up too much, but in my concept the world has been covered in an eternal winter due to a massive nuclear fallout from a conflict. Most of the north has been destroyed in freezing temperatures in which not even the mutated flora and fauna can survive. The only vestige of civilization is small outposts doting along the equator and in the untouched land of Africa. This work will be one I will find very interesting. I have to get in the minds of the survivors and determine what they’d do, what’s important, and what I would no longer think in terms of. I decided to skip the whole desert since it has been done to death, but to be honest, it is very similar. The snowy wastelands can dehydrate you just as fast as a desert, and frostbite…well, I am getting ahead of myself. Just wait and see, you’ll love it! Untitled Survivor Work Updates d10 Mod Updates The d10 Modifications, or mods, are simple enough. I take a setting and adapt it to the d10 game system, which relies on the human standard. This means that on a scale from 1-5, a human’s potential is measured. 1 is below human average, with 2 being standard. 5 represents maximum human potential, but as many of my projects have non-humans, bionics, cybernetics, and mutations, 5 will hardly be the limit for characters. The d10 system relies heavily on story over stats, so I will have to include sections involving game mechanics and moods/themes. Aliens vs. Predator Truly the first science fiction thriller/horror, Alien at first scared the holy crap out of me. Luckily, a friend of mine forced me to watch the movie and I instantly fell in love. Years later, Aliens and Predator were released, and my love of both of them grew. With the second Predator film released, and a slew of comic books, it was canon that Aliens and Predators resided in the same fictional universe. Ignore the new movie, play the games, and you will see why I have picked this survival horror genre! Aliens vs. Predator is a bit of a misnomer, since Aliens will not be allowed as a PC (player character). Instead, players can choose to play any sort of human, from Weyland-Yutani corporate exec to a Colonial Space Marine. The possibilities are endless, and not just limited to humans. Synthetics will be available, as will the Yautja (Predator race). The game will focus purely on overcoming the Darwin theory and staying on top of the food chain against inhuman horrors driven only by the need to breed. Aliens Wiki Article Predator Wiki Article US Colonial Marines Wiki Article Aliens vs. Predator Mod Updates Bioshock Not much I can say about this concept as of yet, as the game as yet to come out. It is determined to come out for the X-Box 360 in August, and hopefully PC sooner. The premise behind the game is about an underwater complex; huge and labyrinth. Society has fallen, and genetic experiments run wild while you have to choose from a number of moral decisions that will determine your survival, fate, and existence. This will be another survival horror project, but with an interesting twist. Instead of awarding experience, characters can only improve themselves through the use of Adam, which can only be found in the bodies of the experiments or other players. You can see how interesting this will get! Bioshock Wiki Article Bioshock Mod Updates Blade Runner The word in dystopia and fear of mega-corporations, Blade Runner has been a staple in any sci-fi geeks diet for some years now. Revolutionary cinematics and concepts that have painted cyberpunk and neo noir roleplaying games since its inception, Blade Runner is an introspective look into the idea of humanity, souls, and morality within the concepts of artificial constructs. If you haven’t seen the movie, go see it. I will say no more. Blade Runner will more than likely fill the need for a good cyberpunk atmosphere and for gritty science fiction chronicles. This one is going to take a lot of work as research is unfortunately scarce on the settings and world of Blade Runner. We will see though. Either way, I think it will be enjoyable. Blade Runner Wiki Article Blade Runner Mod Updates Diablo II Without a doubt the best hack-n-slash ever created, Diablo II is set in a world where the forces of Heaven and Hell fight a silent Sin War using the hapless mortals of Sanctuary. The Prime Evils of Hell, however, have recently upset the balance and have set their terrifying minions on the lands of man. Adventures set forth to drive back the evil to the very source, Hell, and finally save humanity from the fate of puppets and pawns in a war of ideals. Diablo II is basically my answer to the “simplicity” of Dungeons and Dragons. Note, I say simplicity in quotes, because DnD relies on a system so inherently flawed that I cannot even save it from itself. I’d rather a game of personality and story than a night of number crunching and logic problems. I ain’t that much of a nerd. Diablo II is a nice black and white Good vs. Evil project that is very reminiscent of Conan. It will rely heavily on fighting, puzzles, and loot gathering, as well as party relationships and mechanics. This will be the easiest of the mods to run, as it will have numerous tables for GM’s (game masters – generic term for anyone running a campaign) to roll up monsters, loot, and quests on the fly. Arreat Summit: Premier Diablo II Site Diablo II Mod Updates Elder Scrolls I finally broke down and decided to work on an Elder Scrolls title. Just for the sheer high fantasy adventure, this game will be worth the trouble. I've loved this series since I started play in middle school at a friend's house on Daggerfall. I think Morrowind and Oblivion are the only non-Star Wars RPG games I've completed. So we shall see how it all turns out! This will be my big fantasy mod game, honestly. I love the whole cosmology of the place, as well as the dichotomy of good and evil. It was suggested by a good friend, Nick, and I at first thought it too big to take on. I guess I was wrong. Elder Scrolls Wiki Article Elder Scrolls Mod Updates Highlander Highlander, the tale of immortals and the consequences of an internal life has long been a favorite in my house. The tales of Duncan McLeod and later Conner McLeod have been enticing me for years, and finally I have a suitable medium to interact with the world of Highlander. Highlander will be a very tough concept to master, as having multiple immortals together will be an interesting feat in trying to keep them from beheading each other. I will have to look very closely at this project before I start upon it. Highlander Wiki Article Highlander Mod Updates Legacy of Kain I honestly don’t know too much about this world. I am working with a friend on this project, so updates may be a bit slower on this project. We will see. Legacy of Kain Wiki Article Legacy of Kain Mod Updates Quake When I first got a computer, I only had one video game. The video game was Quake. At that time, its graphics were spectacular and its content horrifying. Today, the graphics ain’t great but the monsters still scare the pants off of me. Any game that mixes Lovecraftian monsters with space marines is a-okay in my book! Quake will be dependent upon good ol’ team of space marines, technical experts, and other military personal descending into the terrible and maddening realm of the Stroggs; biomechanical hive-mind creatures bent on complete depletion of natural resources in the universe. Another survival horror concept, this game will give the characters a lot of weapons and technology to combat their inhuman foes…but will it be enough? Quake Wiki Article Quake Mod Updates Riddick Forget any negative opinion you may have about Pitch Black or The Chronicles of Riddick. It is without a doubt the richest science fiction works to come out of Hollywood in a long while. Read the novels and you will see what I mean. Plus, the character of Riddick is amazing to me; he is always in the present and is a penultimate survivor. Riddick as a mod really depends on how the universe looks after research. It could honestly be any type of science fiction work; it all depends on how the aspects of technology, religion, government, and extraterrestrials are handled. Chronicles of Riddick Wiki Article Chronicles of Riddick Mod Updates Serenity/Firefly Firefly vanished so quickly I barely was aware of it at first. But when the movie, Serenity, came out in theatres, I was instantly hooked. I watched every episode and became enamored with the distinct, western feel of the science fiction masterpiece. I had been a big Joss fan before, having adored both Buffy and Angel (the only reason I am not modding these two is because Eden Studios has already done a perfect job of this in their system!) Serenity is all about making your way in the world. Whether as a legitimate businessman, a criminal, or a big damn hero, the game is about normal people in a relatively normal setting. It’s very humble and down to Earth without getting too mundane. Ya dig? Firefly Wiki Article Serenity/Firefly Updates Star Wars If you don’t understand the appeal of Star Wars or know the reason I adore the universe, then I really don’t think you should be reading any of my work. I do admit, the new “prequels” have been something of a severe disappointment, but the best part of modding is you pick and choose what you include! Star Wars is a space opera about the forces of good and the forces of evil clashing on a galactic scale. It is about gunslingers, samurai, devils, knights, and all sorts of other archetypes so very important to the makeup of both Western and Eastern culture. To try to detail exactly what the Star Wars mod will be like is trying to describe each fur on a Wookiee’s butt. There are too many, it’s too difficult, and I really, really don’t feel like doing it. Wookieepedia: The Star Wars Wiki Star Wars Updates Warhammer 40,000 Warhammer 40k has got to be without a doubt the most beautiful, terrifying, and intriguing setting I have ever encountered in science fiction. The sheer horrifying scale of everything is immense, the dystopian future of mankind is so bleak yet so very interesting. The mixture of Gothic landscapes with Lovecraftian creatures and the underpinnings of the Catholic church are staggering in the thought and concept. Plus, I adore Space Marines with every inch of my soul. Warhammer 40k will be about, strangely enough, war! There simply is nothing else in the universe. One player will be an Inquisitor, while the others will make up his or her retinue as one of the many Imperial Servants available for play. Later on, concepts such as playing aliens or even Chaos-tainted beings will hopefully be on my plate!
