Ghost Runner: The 9th Layer Completed!... but a little late... sorry!

Well, I finished up my RPG - Ghost Runner: The 9th Layer and made my proclomation post over on the 1km1kt forums.  I did however meet with some seriuos setbacks during the production of this game.  Late last night, when I was hard at work, the original word file got corrupted and saved in that state.  I wasn't able to recover much of the document and lost about 7 hours worth of work...  at that point, my Live Twittercast of all this stopped as I nearly threw my netbook across the apartment.  The valuable lesson that I learned from this is that you never want to use the same save file when working on stuff like this - make multiple save files, like you would when you're playing final fantasy, and that way, even if one does happen to get corrupted, at least one or two will be ok.

But, the game got done.  I'm really happy to say that.  I did some serious salvage work early this morning and then went back to work.  Even with some serious marital interuptions, I was able to complete this RPG and get it in only about an hour or 2 late.  I feel like declaring that as a victory, even if it might knock me out of the running for any of the big prizes... lol.

I'll get an overview of this RPG up here later, but all you need to really know is that it uses the FATE system with a new rules lite d8 system of my own, the DOOM 8 system.  I was able to work in combo attacks into the game, but I don't know If I really liked the result.  I'll probably do some more with this system at a later point.  For now, I'm tired of typing and I really want to take a break from my bleeding computer monitor.  I feel like I'm covered in Ectoplasm after this one and I need a shower, or three...

24 Hour RPG - Ghost Runners [Working Title]

Ok, I admit, I love the 24 Hour RPG Contest too much to let it go away.  I'm going to tackle the game design contest again, this time, I'll be using the films Ghost Busters, and Blade Runner.  Sound like fun? It does to me.  I'll probably start actually sitting down to design in about an hour or so.  Gotta pick up some food, etc, before I get onto my netbook and hit the design fiesta yet again.  As last time, I'll be tweeting the whole thing.  If you're interested in checking out the design process, go ahead and follow me on Twitter @Shinobicow776 - you can use the little twitter button at the top to do that.  Wish me luck!!
