Ten months ago back in February I posted an update on the project, where everything sat, and then announced that the website would be given an overhaul. About mine months ago in March the redesigned website launched. My expectation after that was that I’d be able to finish phase 2 this year and really start on the last and final phase, phase 3. … And then life happened, and what occurred turned the rest of my year on its head. All my project work was (and has largely been) put on hold until further notice. So, what happened? I…

You get busy with life and projects, and only after you look at the date of your last entry do you realize it’s been a long time since you posted anything. Time for an update. Work continues, albeit slower than expected, but that’s okay. Real life first, personal obligations second, and then hobby project stuff. Real life and other obligations have kept me a quite a bit busier, particularly with things re-opening, life returning closer to normal (as if you could define “normal”), and with a pet who developed a chronic condition that has needed a lot of care….

It’s been a good few months since my last posting and work continues. At times a bit slower than I’d like, however life and work come first, hobby second. During the heat dome event I kept the computer off and so didn’t do any writing for the better part of a week because my place got rather toasty. So, where do things sit right now? Phase 1: The phase 1 draft is done and I’ve gotten some good feedback on it. The final word and page count for this initial draft is 85,110 words and 175 pages. I’ll be…

I’ve been so busy with writing, designing, researching, working, life, the rare visit from family, and catering to my floofs every need (I swear if you’re owned by a cat, you’re their servant or staff) that I’ve not posted any recent updates. It’s update time. Phase 1: The phase 1 draft is done and I’ve gotten some good feedback on it. The final word and page count for this initial draft is 85,110 words and 175 pages. Phase 2: The engine document is coming along quite well, and I’ve gotten that to a state that I need to set…

Just over a year ago I started work on a project that by the time it’s done will result in two rule sets and the underlying architectural framework and mechanics, the engine, that powers both. Phase 1 of the project was last year’s NaNoWriMo project and by the time that was done the manuscript had 42,000 words and 79 pages. The final phase 1 manuscript, by the time all the writing was done, had 85,110 words and 175 pages. Phase 2 is this year’s project of this larger project-that-shall-not-yet-be-named. This particular manuscript is currently sitting at 12,341 words and…

A recent conversation with an individual whom contacted me out of the blue has me revisiting and picking AgileLARP back up and brushing the dust off. What is AgileLARP? The page on it gives some information, however I’ve also come up with this blurb, which I think is a bit more descriptive as to what it will be when completed: AgileLARP is a LARP engine, not unlike a computer game engine, but that it is specifically designed for live role-playing. Its job is to provide the structure and framework necessary to build a LARP around, but isn’t a whole…
