Today is the day that I'm going to run AD&D, I always feel a little nervous before running the game. I'm never quite sure what my players will think of what I've made for them--and more importantly I don't know if they're going to want to do what I have prepared and I don't want to force them. It's a trade-off I suppose.
I've been watching True Detective lately, kind of surprised at how much I like it. I figure the premise of the show is a more realistic look at law enforcement and investigation in general. It's not all chasing bad guys and thwarting evil plots--most of it is talking to people and running down leads. I think it's giving me a good perspective for my work.
Yesterday I added some editing to my story, it has a working title now--I'm calling it "Bad for Business". Not sure if I'm going to stick with it but it's better than nothing I guess. I'm adding a robo savvy plucky female sidekick to the mix and I'm feeling some inner resistance. I guess I've always thought of the detective as a solitary hero--Batman before Robin showed up. But he seems too dark, depressing, hopeless. Not many people want to read that I guess. I think the addition of this character will ultimately be good for the series, nice to see it all from a new perspective. I'm still having trouble with a name--thinking something Japanese would be cool for the setting.
