The writing day went well - six hours of writing, all longhand - and I got material written for the next Big Easy game - which is now balanced so that I can run it regardless of how many players arrive - and for Age of Legends. It still amazes me how much time it takes to write up material well - and how much difference it makes to my comfort in running the game. It takes all the effort out of running it, and leaves me free to work on the bits that are more art than science.

There will be a couple of speculative posts coming up in the DM filter - anyone not on it who wants to be? Comment below, if so. olethros, that'd be a no, but thanks for your interest.

Results & Directions

I just got another OU assignment back. "Discuss the ways in which Wide Sargasso Sea and Pygmalion exploit the traditions and conventions of their genre, both formally and in terms of content." I got 75%. This pleases me immensely, but is no help whatsover in deciding which way to go with the next course and the ongoing degree. My choices are basically down to English Literature or some kind of History. As long as the history is not Modern Irish or French Revolution, I'm pretty easy about precise periods. As long as I never have to go near Jean Rhys again, I'm pretty easy about genres of literature.

So, some of you people know me pretty well (and others don't know me from Adam, of course). What do you think I should do, and why?
