Best Day EVER

Alright, today was the most amazing day, and it is going to just be the first day of an amazing weekend.

First off, I received the final proof of my second book to be published, The Spires of Respite. With the alteration to colors and the few formatting edits, it is now perfect. I published it soon after getting home from work, and it is now available on Amazon.com and Createspace.com! I think it is by far my best work, and hopefully that trend continues.

Secondly, I went to Taco Bell with my lovely wife and I was wearing my 'Don't blame the roleplayer, blame the roleplaying game' shirt. The cashier asked what RPGs I do, and was very interested when I replied that I used almost entirely self made systems. I gave him the address of this blog obviously, and I hope to have gained a fan! It was really an amazing feeling to have a stranger so interested in what I do.

I also went to the bank and stocked up on cash for the Renaissance Festival tomorrow, since they don't really do cards all that often. Nothing makes you feel quite like having a wallet bursting with cash lol!

I have also been revising my Recollection Paradigm system. I won't be implementing any of the rather drastic changes until after this campaign to avoid confusion, but it is becoming much more streamlined, bursting with personality and customization opportunities, and the mechanics are getting smoothed out as well. I am hoping to be able to run a few more campaigns pretty quickly, we shall see if the Knerds are on board with that. I would hope so, since many of the regular GMs cherish the opportunity to just play a normal character. The second session of my campaign is on Sunday, which will finish up the weekend of epicness!

So yeah, life is great. Unrelated to this weekend, I have been attempting to contact an illustrator regarding my system and the many illustrations it will require. No response thus far. Got back into contact with Angelic Light Publishing, and I am hoping things will progress on that front. Shout out to my close friend Nicholas Casale for getting his book 'The Crusade of Stone and Stars' published by the same company! Very interesting book with medieval politics and other fantasy themes.

So weekend is packed. Don't expect to hear from me for a few days. (not that I am all that strict about getting on here a lot anyway....) Have a good one!
