Game Balance: Do you have it?
According to my friend Dr. Checkmate game balance is when your actual gaming matches your desire for it. Unfortunately my desire and actuality are way out of whack right now. Probably due in no small part to the new job. I’d love to be playing more and getting the games in planning actually up and running. How about you? Have you achieved Game Balance?
Playing:
Quest for the Staff of Genesis (AD&D)
The Eerie Exploits of Ranger Company X(Risus PbP)
Running:
Stargate SG-21 (Savage Worlds)
The Omega Resistance – A Necessary Evil Campaign (Savage Worlds)
In Planning:
Vulcan Transporta Car Wars type game (PbP Risus)
TwitteRPGa D&D type game (PbP Risus)
