Golden Anvil

As I mentioned earlier, I'm making an attempt to pick a single project each month and focus on that project. This serves two benefits. First, it forces me to actually pick a single one of my many projects and make significant progress on it. This is good for helping me learn how to make progress towards completing my projects and how to stick with something even when something else catches my imagination. Second, it gives me a chance to actually switch to other projects periodically. Really, a month isn't that long to wait to get to do something else that sounds interesting.

The nice thing is that I'm not giving myself the expectation of actually finishing a project in a month. Instead, at the end of the month it'll just go back in the big bucket o' projects, and I'll move on to something else. Some month down the road I'll get back to the project and do some more work on it.

Anyway, during the month of June, I've been working on putting together a PDF of The Players Guide to Fangor. Fangor is my personal fantasy roleplaying setting which has usually been my default setting over the years. This will be modeled after a GURPS supplement, using their style of presentation and their rules system. When I'm done (if I finish), the "book" should be a guide to all of the details that a player would want to know about creating a character and playing in the Fangor setting. It will include details about the history, geography, races, politics, religions, and magic of the setting. It will kind of compile a lot of what has been developed (by me and my players) over the years, some of which is stuck up in my head, having never come into play.

So far (I started into this monthly project thing a little late), using Adobe InDesign, I've set up pretty much all the document styles (in such a way as to mostly duplicate the GURPS books), and started doing a little outlining in order to make sure that the book has a reasonable structure. I've started gathering together some of various things I've already written here and there about the setting. This means that my next task is to start doing a lot of writing. We'll see how that goes.
