Okay, so not earth-shattering news. I&#8217;ve finally done something with the <a href="http://lostheroesrpg.com">lostheroesrpg.com</a> domain and setup a blog and a custom theme. I&#8217;ll be releasing Lost Heroes Roleplaying Game there.</p>
<p>I was a bit afraid that I might be duplicating/crossposting content between the two blogs and I was looking at all sorts of solutions to do it. But practically it&#8217;s not going to happen. The purpose of lostheroesrpg.com will be a platform for promoting and releasing my Lost Heroes RPG project and there will be no worries about having to cross post, though I may &#8220;borrow&#8221; content from thedeadone.net for lostheroesrpg.com. In fact, the first thing I did was copy the Wordpress theme I created for here and modify it.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve already added the feed for it to the <a href="http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~cammy/mfudgerpg/">Monster FudgeRPG feed</a> but does it qualify for the <a href="http://irishgamingwiki.com/planet/">Irish Gaming Plane</a>t feed? (Probably not).<!-- google_ad_section_end --></p>

I can't pinpoint any personal highlights really; most of my fondest memories are successes and milestones for my kids.<br /><br />Well that's not entirely true. I did manage to hit 100 consecutive zines for <i>Alarums &#38; Excursions</i> and was proud of that. I wonder if the general sense of depression from the global recession has coloured my outlook of late.<br /><br />My 41st year looks to include a big house move as part of the excitement. I'm hoping that goes smoothly but it's best not to hold your breath in such matters, particularly before we've even had the engineers' report on the structure.<br /><br />I haven't made any New Year's resolutions. I'm not that responsive to them, but I do plan to change a couple of things over the course of the year. <br /><br />I've always thought of myself as a reader but in the last year I've really been distracted by teh Shiny Internet etc. and failed to read anything like a satisfying number of books. So more reading is definitely required. <br /><br />The other thing, likely as aspirational as any other year, is health and weight. Hmm. we'll see.<br /><br />And now toast, as made for me by my daughter. See? 2009 is looking good already ]]></description>

The idea here is to draw something every day that gets me, by the end of the year, to a point where I can draw people - and in particular, clothing.

And really, by the time you're using the word "armoured scapular", you need images. <br /><br />3) Stay organised. The use of the concepts from <i>Getting Things Done</i> has changed a lot of my thinking, and I'm going to need that in work as much as at home, if not more so. In this job, I have the chance to use it.<br /><br />4) Grow things. There's more to growing things - vegetables and fruit, and maybe even some of those pesky flower things - than sticking the seeds in the ground and standing back, and I intend to get the hang of it. ]]></description>

While working on Lost Heroes RPG over the Christmas, I wrote this little flash fiction. I was hitting a bit of mental block so I changed tack and wrote something else. I think it works actual, what do you think?</p>
<blockquote><p>He put down the staff beside him and scratched his head. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;ll work. I&#8217;ve passed the message up the ranks, but Hermes doesn&#8217;t really have any pull with Hades you know? Do you happen to have a fag? I&#8217;m dying for a cig.&#8221;</p>
<p>I pulled a pack out of my pocket and offered him my last one. He accepted it and used his herald���s staff to light it. It sort of glowed and a flame squirted out of the top, lighting his cigarette. &#8220;You don&#8217;t happen to be a great singer or artist or something that I didn&#8217;t know about?&#8221; I shook my head. He weighed his hand heavily on his shoulder, &#8220;its not looking good.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I need to save her, bring her back.&#8221; I pleaded with him.</p>
<p>&#8220;The best I can do is allow you to see her one last time from the opposite shore of the Styx. You can say you���re goodbyes and all that. I hope she made it to the Blessed Isle otherwise&#8230;&#8221; he buried his head in his hands. He was suppressing a sob. &#8220;Why do you want to bring her back? The dead is better dead, Hades let nothing leave his domain.&#8221;</p>
<p>Controlling my own grief I said, &#8220;Because it was <em>my fault. I killed her.</em> I made a mistake&#8230;&#8221; But at my words, his entire body shook and his face drained of colour as he stared at me.</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh my. What have you done my friend!&#8221; The sky started to darken. &#8220;I&#8217;ve given them a connection, a connection to you and you damned fool admitted your stupidity!&#8221; His staff started to glow, the wings on his shoes started to flutter. &#8220;I can hear Erebus demanding justice!&#8221; He added meekly, &#8220;you&#8217;ve given her to the Furies by telling me this&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand&#8230;&#8221; but I could barely speak, the roaring sound of a car drowned out my words and its lights stinging me and holding me in place. He was gone, already flying into the black stormy sky. Before the truck hit me, I saw her face, in the driver seat, an awful black aura burning of her deathly beauty, rage and revenge.</p></blockquote>

<p>&#8220;I need to save her, bring her back.&#8221; I pleaded with him.</p>
<p>&#8220;The best I can do is allow you to see her one last time from the opposite shore of the Styx. You can say you���re goodbyes and all that. I hope she made it to the Blessed Isle otherwise&#8230;&#8221; he buried his head in his hands. He was suppressing a sob. &#8220;Why do you want to bring her back? The dead is better dead, Hades let nothing leave his domain.&#8221;</p>
<p>Controlling my own grief I said, &#8220;Because it was <em>my fault. I killed her.</em> I made a mistake&#8230;&#8221; But at my words, his entire body shook and his face drained of colour as he stared at me.</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh my. What have you done my friend!&#8221; The sky started to darken. &#8220;I&#8217;ve given them a connection, a connection to you and you damned fool admitted your stupidity!&#8221; His staff started to glow, the wings on his shoes started to flutter. &#8220;I can hear Erebus demanding justice!&#8221; He added meekly, &#8220;you&#8217;ve given her to the Furies by telling me this&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand&#8230;&#8221; but I could barely speak, the roaring sound of a car drowned out my words and its lights stinging me and holding me in place. He was gone, already flying into the black stormy sky. Before the truck hit me, I saw her face, in the driver seat, an awful black aura burning of her deathly beauty, rage and revenge.</p></blockquote>

While working on Lost Heroes RPG over the Christmas, I wrote this little flash fiction. I was hitting a bit of mental block so I changed tack and wrote something else. I think it works actual, what do you think?</p>
<blockquote><p>He put down the staff beside him and scratched his head. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;ll work. I&#8217;ve passed the message up the ranks, but Hermes doesn&#8217;t really have any pull with Hades you know? Do you happen to have a fag? I&#8217;m dying for a cig.&#8221;</p>
<p>I pulled a pack out of my pocket and offered him my last one. He accepted it and used his herald’s staff to light it. It sort of glowed and a flame squirted out of the top, lighting his cigarette. &#8220;You don&#8217;t happen to be a great singer or artist or something that I didn&#8217;t know about?&#8221; I shook my head. He weighed his hand heavily on his shoulder, &#8220;its not looking good.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I need to save her, bring her back.&#8221; I pleaded with him.</p>
<p>&#8220;The best I can do is allow you to see her one last time from the opposite shore of the Styx. You can say you’re goodbyes and all that. I hope she made it to the Blessed Isle otherwise&#8230;&#8221; he buried his head in his hands. He was suppressing a sob. &#8220;Why do you want to bring her back? The dead is better dead, Hades let nothing leave his domain.&#8221;</p>
<p>Controlling my own grief I said, &#8220;Because it was <em>my fault. I killed her.</em> I made a mistake&#8230;&#8221; But at my words, his entire body shook and his face drained of colour as he stared at me.</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh my.

I'm already making a donation to Focus Ireland monthly but I thought I'd publicise his idea which is excellent.  And since we all know he has infinite money, the more we can make him give to charity the better.
