My Summer

Spent a lot of time this summer reading RPG material. Now that 4th edition D&D has been released, I've discovered that 3.5 really wasn't that bad.

It really started sometime last fall. I discovered that Dungeon magazine had released a four part super poster map of the World of Greyhawk. As a younger RPG player, Greyhawk was the first fantasy world I had found. It inspired me to create my own worlds and introduced me to characters and places that intrigued me.

Anyway ... Paizo Publishing was the publisher of Dungeon magazine at the time. While shopping their website I discovered they had their own RPG in development. And you could get it for FREE! (Well, it was the beta playtest, but....it was FREE!!!) So, I downloaded it. Tried learning it. And discovered the wealth of cheap 3.5 books available now that 4th edition was on the market.

Since then, I've totally fell in love with Pathfinder as an RPG. The campaign world Paizo has developed to support their RPG (Golarian) is unique and flavorful. I'm slowly building a library of 3.5 sourcebooks from a number of publishers.

I've given time to write a few proposals for modules in the open competitions the company has and am now actively developing my own campaign world and adventures with an eye towards publishing it myself on a site like Lulu.

So ... Panzerblitz 2 has finally printed. And with it a whole raft of errors, questions and issues. All in all, though, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Myself and a few others have already started working on the next historical module (Mortain). I'm also in the process of reconstructing the unit data for the first core module. The numbers I originally delivered to Darren and MMP were on a spreadsheet along with the formula to calculate unit strengths. I only delivered the numbers for units they needed for Hill of Death. I had burned the sheet to CD for what I thought was posterity. I didn't account for CD rot, or degradation or whatever you want to call it. When I reopened the file to send everything I had to Darren, it would not load. I was finally able to extract a few lines of data from the file. Enough to get me going in the right direction, but, a lot of number crunching has to be recrunched, now. A L-O-T of numbers.... I'm mightily sickened by that.

Taking Up The Gauntlet - An ASLSK Test Scenario

MANNECOURT HILL near ARRACOURT, FRANCE, 20 September, 1944: The initial German attacks on Arracourt on 19 September 1944 had appeared to flounder, blunted by the counterattack of Patton’s 3^rd Army. CCA of the 4^th Armor Division was ordered to move northeast in two columns to exploit the lull created by the counterattack. At 1130 hours, 20 September, CCA was recalled to the Arracourt sector after enemy tanks of 111^th Panzer Brigade returned to the attack. By 1500 hours, Colonel Creighton Abrams had assembled a force near Lezey to sweep the area "...once and for all!"

AFTERMATH: C Company of the 37th Tank Battalion was charged with guarding the east flank of CCA’s sweep. East of Ley the company ran into withering fire from the assembled force of KG Junghannis. The battered Amis withdrew and waited for reinforcements in the form of Abrams and B Company. After his arrival the two companies jockeyed for position and engaged in a tank duel that evened the score. As darkness fell Abrams retired to the south, completing his sweep of Moncourt before returning to Lezey, leaving the battlefield to the Germans.
