Both literally and prosaically. The honeymoon is set and Emily and I are going to be taking a cruise along the Western edge of the Caribbean Sea. We're visiting Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Belize, and Roatan.
I am also beginning to work again on my Piratical RPG. After having taken time off to focus on gaining custody of Morgan and planning for my wedding I can now begin to ease back into writing for my game. I am doing some groundwork to get back up to speed and beginning in April after the wedding I am going to be going full bore at the game again.
I've had several eureka moments during my break and I hope I can incorporate them into my system fully. One of the major ideas was a holistic format regarding stories and legends. In my head atm, because besides a few hastily scrawled notes that is where this all exists, this new format idea is a step beyond story games/story teller type systems. In those the players took an active part in telling a story together. In my new idea characters are actively working together to create a Legend. I've combed inspiration such unlikely sources as Aces & Eights, Joseph Campbell (well, he's pretty likely), and the powerful Advertising group and meme known as "Character".
I am excited about this as it will move my game in the direction that I have been wanting and will even help build a system that can be used as a foundation for numerous other game settings. Gah, I never thought I'd be working on a GURPS/D20/WoD. Heh, we'll see if I can pull this off.
