As the year rolls around to 2011, I am here and looking at the quaint little stateof my blog. It has beena pretty decent year and the blog has had a fairly low key number of visitors in year two. The blog has had a great influx of visitors when I post on topics related to what is relevant over at several sites that I follow, key among them the Wizards and Gnome Stew sites. I have branched out a bit on topics and most of my blog posts have featured cintent that could be multi-game centric. This means that I have looked at the topic from the vantage of running more thanjust a D&D game (e.g., Shadowrun, Star Wars, Call of Cthulhu or other role-playing games). The tools that I use are cross-functional across both games and genres. I look at these games and try to consolidate down to running a convention game. Most of my session material is meant to run an average game session of three hours in length, but also incorporate the session with open hooks for my players.
Most sessions, I incorporate three to five hooks for my players. These hooks allow me to find pointsof future interest for my players. Between these hooks and existing loose ends, I am able to incorporate three to seven plot hooks into a given session. And as always, I look to run from the smallest platform possible. I enjoy running from my iPad. It’s something I look to do more oftenin 2011. This year, I have resolved to post more about my efforts to run from my iPad and the pitfalls and hurdles that I have overcome to achieve it.
