Hmmm, well I’m trying to learn how to do the math of the system so I won’t have to ask someone else to fill in the math. Its slow going, but I’m making definite progress. So I can see one benefit to this of forcing me to learn a system. OTOH, I’m starting to think of the ways I’d do it differently.

My experience with writing Temple of the Dying Sun was that while the system mechanics of it was major work, the majority of the work was the writing.

Ideally from my view, I’d have someone else do the math, and I’m a little surprised I didn’t get takers on that.

In any case, I’m working my way through the skills and weapons for Music War so you should soon have another item for your website.

Someone mentioned Journeyman to me earlier this week. I have not yet bumped into it anywhere, though, so I’m not sure how I’d have to rearrange scheduling or taping to catch it.

The Temporal Anomalies site actually gets me a fair amount of “cred”, including that I’ve been approached a few times about consulting on time travel projects. Thus far none of these have reached the stage where I got paid for it, but it’s bound to happen eventually. (One reached the stage where we’d agreed on a figure, but the script has not yet reached me for that.) I’ve also been quoted in newspapers and magazines, usually in connection with new time travel films as background on time travel. In one, the president of Sci Fi Channel was the other interviewed authority. It makes me something of a “known name”, and I can’t say no one ever bought the game from the site, only that they never said so.

I have attempted to delegate, but I just don’t have good people where I can work with them, really. Yes, you two are very good, but those tasks are very high on my supervision list (that is, worlds for publication need a lot of attention from me, and temporal analyses have to be right to my satisfaction before I’ll post them, so I wind up doing almost as much work overseeing these projects as I would just doing them). I’ve tried to get some people to take over building the new Multiverser.org web site (E. R. Jones is supposed to be heading that up), but I can never seem to get a straight answer on how that’s going.

It also doesn’t help that I don’t really have a budget for these things.

Since we’re offering MJ suggestions on his workload, which I do occasionally, the best suggestion is —-DELEGATE.

John A1nut can take over writing for TA, I’ll write Game settings, MJ will write novels and Christian books and so forth…

If you’re looking for a project to drop, why not the Temporal Anomalies site? You keep saying that I am the only Multiverser player to come from there, why work on it at all? I would drop it like a sack of bricks, but that’s me.
