So..... Just a quick update to let the world know that I continue to work on this little project that I love more and more. Last night I was able to do some more playtesting with 3 players on an adventure I've been working on for The Basics. 2 of them made new characters and seeing the creativity at work was awesome, once they'd rolled on the powers chart. They both came up with great fun concepts that worked excellently in the story. The other player used one we'd played with previously and having them there made for great continuity from my last playtest opportunity. They continued the story and we had a sesh that was sans combat, offering a lot of opportunity to interact with the environment, NPCs, and do some sneaking around, and use powers in ways I'd not imagined. They were all great about sticking to their characters, nobody tried to do anything game breaking or anything else I may worry about when game designing. So, all in all, a success! They each left saying... we gotta get in more of this! I can't think of a better compliment around a game you've designed.

On an adjacent note... my friend Andy continues to come up with villain concepts that are (honestly!) way cooler than what I had come up with, more in depth and interesting, and add a lot to the world of Majestic City. I keep telling him... go for it... yes!.... I'm gonna put it all in there! So, the villain book development continues. And it will likely be bigger than the Heroes book. Maybe it will be 2 or 3 small books. Also, my friend Luke is pretty darn good artist and he has been drawing some characters. I'm considering twisting his arm to do a few art pieces for me (compensating him with fine beverages!) if he has the time. I think it would add a lot to the original characters. Anyway, that's all for now. 

With summer gone, I've got to go back to focusing on my real job, which means less time for fun things like game design (but not NONE time!) so development may continue slowly. But more and more will be added to this game over time, at least for the foreseeable future. Bye, for now.
