It's true. I just read Tarot's post and sit here marveling how right he is. He said 'It sure is a lot of work making a website.' We don't feel a tenth of it because the lions share of the work in his hands. But l can tell you something that's more than true. There's a real pleasure, a complete and utterly wonderful pleasure, in creating something with people you really respect and love - and I can say that totally unashamed because its so true. I've been excited. I've been thrilled. I feel like I'm more free to do whatever it is that Mizahar needs without a big brother shadowy tyrant looking over my shoulder. Instead I just have GP, Liminal, Cayenne, Gillar, and the intrepid Colombina standing there grinning. I hope they feel me standing behind them cheering them on and grinning as well.
The wiki is... astonishing. I never quite got the 'must develop lore' before we develop the game concept until I actually made my first entry. Then Tarot opened our eyes to how powerful a wiki could actually be in terms of development and we've never looked back. The only problem with the wiki is that its addictive. I can't let red links lie red. I didn't realize how tired I was of clinging to a sinking ship filled with angry sailors who worked on a system that was band-aids on top of band-aids on top of band-aids until I took the leap and realized that together, the founders circle, had all the skills necessary to really do a unique gaming system the right way.
And this feels so 'right way' ish. I'm proud of what we've accomplished here. Tonight is going to be devoted to such things as finishing the Akalak, touching up Gnosis... and introducing some gnosis/skill writeups. I have healing, medicine, and herbalism done and they can be added to the site.
