Back in work. Ugh. Network connection horrible. Ugh. Still coughing. More ugh. Just ugh in general.

There is some stuff to be done - mostly forms and things. I can't imagine how they're going to work these things after we're gone...

Have exchanged mail with Ivan in CSR, so I'm expecting something back anytime soon.

Nina just discovered that there is a Baldur's Gate II coming out soon. 'puter games don't come out fast enough, that's the problem. Especially the replayable type - ones that are customisable, or replayable, or whatever. I'm thinking here mainly of Civ, which you can play again and again (and again and again and again...) and the forthcoming Neverwinter Nights. Drool.

I'm thinking strongly of running Faction War as a summer campaign or something, for when people don't have essays and similar crap to worry about, and we can generate new characters at fifth level or so and run from there. This is mostly Nina's suggestion, but I do like the sound of it. I might even invite in some new players, since the world isn't going to be that personalised or anything.

It'd mean some calculating, though, since the Faction War events would need to take place, from the Davonian point of view, some years in the future. Maybe even a totally separate setting, or something...

I've been reading the Neverwinter Nights boards for a bit, and there does seem to be a fair amount of intent to create new modules and adventures and campaign settings, so that will at least be expandable. I fully intend to put scenarios up for download...

I wonder if anyone has developed Starcraft scenarios or campaigns for downloading... must go look.
