View From the Bushes

One of the comments asked about the Midnight adventure. I have been somewhat sparse in my coverage of its progress and for that, I apologize. Partially this is because of my great shame at how long it has taken. Looking back, there are lots of places where I could have sped it up, but there are also an equal number of places where events outside of my control delayed it. At the moment I'm waiting on a couple of things: the maps and final approval of the actual adventure from FFG. If you've been following the blog at all you'll know that the gods of cartography have not been kind to me.

I have finally found someone who I think will work out, but as I mentioned he's busy with Anyaka 6. The minute he's done, assuming I'm pleased with what he does for Anyaka 6, I'm going to set him to work on the Midnight Maps. In other news, there has been a huge blow up over at the trade organization most game people call home, (GAMA). Apparently in the recent elections one of the people running (Ryan Dancey) for a position on the board of directors was able to figure out how to intercept the mailing list of the current board of directors. Whether and how this might have helped him win the election is unclear, but it came out today and Ryan was forced to resign.

Since he represented a slate of candidates, it looks as if the entire board might end up resigning. People have been complaining bitterly about GAMA for many years and now it looks like many are hoping that this might be the death knell of the organization so that something better might rise from the ashes. I myself don't have a lot of experience with GAMA, but it seems clear that this will end up being a serious blow to the organization as a whole. I'll keep you posted as additional details emerge. The whole thing has almost a Watergate feel to it.
