Back in the Dungeon

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

FInally got myself back into D&D. It was a short but sweet game, next time should be longer if I can keep up the house work.

Parenting since gaming wasn’t the only first for me today, I also had my first experience gaming with a remote player. We used a laptop, a logitech webcam, cable internet, and skype to pull it off, and I think it went pretty well. Eventually I’d like to set up a remote game with some people across the country that I miss gaming with.

The D&D insider character generator sped up my character generation process. The UI is very pretty, so I’m left wondering does it really work well, or does the spiffy interface gloss over the program’s weak points? I’ve used character generators for Unisystem and GURPS which worked okay, but had a very dry interface.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to game more often, and I’ll get back into the swing of blogging.

Sunday!

Sunday I may actually get to game! It’s been three months since my daughter was born, and a week or so more since I last gamed. If you remember, Kat showed up the day my wife and I were getting ready for Dundracon. All I have to do is get the house ready for the game.
I’ve heard some parents got back into gaming just a month after their kid was born, and others have been waiting five years to get back in. Three months seems like a good amount to me.
All that’s left to figure out is frequency.
