Sine wave of dedication
I want to be an Indie game designer. I really do. I want to talk be a skype interviewee on Canon Puncture, Narrative Control, or Master Plan. I want to be a thread starter at story-games (rather than a thread ender). I want to be incoherently verbally abused by RPGPundit.
But dammit, I just can’t keep it going. How do some of those guys design games, write games, and still play? and have a job? and a family? I mean, Fred Hicks? Screw you. You too Ken Hite. I listened to your CP interview and every few minutes they’d say, well Ken anything else going on, and you’d mention 5 more projects. Hell, Berin Kinsman spends more time puking and being prodded by doctors than he does sleeping and still has like forty RPG writing projects going at once.
Okay, jealous rage excorcised. Now let’s take baby steps. I’ve tapped into the Random Cover contest at Story-games and have a kernel of a good idea. My entry for the 1 pg dungeon contest is coming along nicely.
From one sporadic gamer/blogger to another, ‘I feel your pain.’
I just keep plugging away, but I’ve come to realize that I will never be one of ‘those guys.’
I still have hope for you, though.
