Blue Moon Aurora

The process of writing a novel has slowed down my play-by-post campaigns and updates to the website the last two months, but I did finally replace the old campaign wiki with a more usable version from wikispaces.  This should be infinitely more usable for the members of the community to record information for their campaigns and characters.  Beyond this I've only did some fiddling here and there on the website, but nothing too significant. 

So what's the plan for the rest of the year?

In September we will have another Adventure Synopsis competition on the forums and we'll also be rebooting the Directed Discussions, but extending them to three week discussions.  I'm also going to start really pushing to expand the membership of the forums to build up a little more mass for more roleplaying opportunities.

In October there will be the second annual Blue Moon Awards and also Aurora Con. 

In November I will probably be trying to move some campaigns to conclusion before the December/January hiatus.  I intend to wrap up most duets and West Pacific Supers, but will keep Rifts going into 2010.  We'll also have another Adventure Synopsis competition, the last for the year. 

As usual things will die down around December/January, but I'm already thinking about my campaigns for 2010.  Here is the list I am currently kicking around and as some of them will require a few months to set up I am tossing them out for feedback now:

Apotheosis

I have learned a lot with my divine duets.  I actually think this is a very cool idea, but I need to tweak the rules and the setting.  However, I do intend on running a revised version of the campaign in 2010. The PCs will be more powerful and things will be a lot clearer about the setting and the rules.  I might keep this in duet format as that has worked very well. 

Mouse Guard

This will be a one-shot campaign to run for a few months. The PCs will play mice with sword defending the Mouse Territories.  It's a fun RPG and actually a good fit for play-by-post.  If there isn't enough interest at Blue MoonAurora I will probably run it off-site. 

Nesyr Crusades

My big campaign next year will be the Nesyr Crusades, which will use the Pathfinder RPG rules. It will be my first real fantasy campaign by play-by-post and reallymy first real fantasy campaign in years. I can guarantee the awesome and there will probably be chat sessions forthis campaign to keep things moving. This will be my cornerstone campaign for 2010, well, if I have playersfor it.

Rifts

I intend to keep my current Rifts campaign running into 2010.  Have lots of ideas and it's a fun group of PCs, well, as long as they survive the Demon of Canal Town.   

Super League

I am working on the idea of running a campaign where players run the team presidentsand manage superhero teams.  They willrecruit their superheroes make their picks at the Super Draft and navigate a host of challenges during the Season on their way to dominating, or not, their Conference.  I have most of the mechanics already worked out and this will be my West Pacific Supers campaign for 2010.  It should be a lot of fun and anice twist on the setting. 

To Boldly Go...

I intend to keep running this ICON Star Trek campaign on Crazy Monkey's Asylum for acomplete run of six adventures (nearly finished with the first one), which willprobably take most of 2010 to complete. 

Thoughts and feedback are welcome, but that is the plan for fall and my 2010campaigns.
