Going to start a new game in a new system, called Mutant Futures, with some of the same NPC's, changed a little. It's going to be on a Planet of my making and when I play next with Jason, I will update you all about it.  

I have been reading and read 18 books this year so far. Hope to finish 'Isle of Blood' The Monster-mologist 3 soon, to make it 19.  Some of the books I'm currently reading are giving me ideas for the new planet along with other science fiction adventures I've had with Jason in the past.

First adventure of Gamma World-Test Trial

On the Jan. 20th I ran a test run of the first scenario of the basic Gamma World set. The combat went well. I ran it with 4 characters instead of 5. At first the combat was Jason's 2 playing characters, a Yeti-Empath, named Dillian Leeson & a mind breaker-Hawk vs. a motorcyclist Hog. His characters did a lot of damage and destroyed the first enemy.
Later I added the 3rd and 4th playing character, one a character that gives off a metallic smell when he uses his powers or gives off sparks, named Urgood Urthson. The 4th character is dense and compact, solid mutant, he gives off a purple and black radiant glow, and he mainly talks telepathically, named Sam Franks.
They fought all 4 of the enemies and defeated them. I didn't use powers but in the second scenario I will. Also Jason said he would play all 4 of the characters. Also I will try to run the monsters better. I look forward to the next battle/scenario.
At the end of the scenario, The Hawk Empath found a head mounted laser that will be powered by Urgood.
Also the characters can talk telepathically because of Sam.

Jason was impressed with the system, & I believe my understanding of the system will get better with practice.
Also I think i found a bigger character sheet, and all I have to do is hook up my printer or get Jason some ink for his printer.

I purchased the expansion of Gamma World "Famine in Far-Go",based in the USA after the apocalypse at
East Dah-Koh-Tah. The game adds origins and some more Allegiances, or cryptic alliances.

Over all I am happy with the system and later on Jason said he would look on-line for the cards for powers and technology for Gamma World.

Started working on Characters for a new game I picked up called Gamma World RPG made by Wizards of the Coast. I Found a site that helps create fast mutants randomly link for Gamma World RPG Random Char. Generator . After making up 2 more characters by hand I think I have the system for making mutants down.
It uses cards for the technology and for powers that the mutants have, looks to be a lot of fun.
Looking forward to running Jason in the game to get ready to run my nephew in the scenario, and hope it leads to lots more free form games with my nephew.

New movie based on the writing of Edgar A. Poe

While looking at a few other blogs I found this interesting blog about the movie 'The Raven' coming out about Edgar Allen Poe's stories, made into a mystery about who is trying to frame the amazing author.  It looks awesome, looking forward to seeing this movie.
