Playing a [Roleplaying] Game

So I picked up some 5th Ed D&D stuff, and have been churning away at getting a Dragons of Phandelver -a mashup of the Starter and Essential boxes- campaign typed up as a way to keep my mind on things. My hope is too start running my kiddos through it. Fun little tid bit is the cartographer who did the maps for a lot of the early 5th Ed stuff, sells digital copies of the maps for a nice price. I’ve had a copy of Realm Works for ages now and never really used it, so I’ve been putting it through its paces loading maps and location info into it. It’s interesting to see my gaming laptop start locking up from a simple program...

I have actually started playing 5th Ed at a FLGS, and the group is wrapping up Ghosts of Saltmarsh. Once done they’ll be starting Descent into Avernus around the new year. Sadly my shift schedule only allows me to play every other weekend. Which means I’ve not gotten any treasure for the last couple adventures, cause they were finished the following week. Donno if I’ll stay with it or switch to running my campaign, or even a whole other game. There’s talk of starting Shadowrun or Traveller, and I also got a ridiculously good price on a Wrath & Glory Collectors Edition box, so maybe that.


Anyway that’s the state of things right now. Hopefully I can get back into working on my Dragonlance stuff.
