What are you waiting for?
It’s Saturday Night, and you’re with your friends playing Dungeons & Dragons, a role playing game worthy of geek proportions, or could you be playing World of Warcraft, a very addictive online computer game with some of your buddies hundreds of miles away in the dark! Or even playing Call of Duty just because you like war! Whatever your taste is, go for it. However, since thinking about my last blog on Role Playing games, I began thinking I may have left some things out, but I cannot remember what. But since breaking my writer’s block, it was able to give me new ideas of creative expression. I was thinking since some of my friends have been playing role playing games for almost two years now, I wanted to do an experiment: make a role playing television show. Now, this won’t be some stupid reality TV bullshit that has been polluting the airwaves for the last six to seven years. I want to create a show for gamers, like something to show a group of people playing, and then afterward have like a debate on certain moves or questions on certain traits of a character. Also, this would be interesting, have a tournament like what they have with poker. I would think that can be a good show to do, have someone do play by play as the game goes on and so forth. However, the only problem is having the right equipment for doing such a project. I only have a web cam, which is only good if everyone is like three feet within the sight of the cam to get good clarity. Also, the sound only goes the same distance, unless the people scream the entire time of the session. But, I always wanted to try out directing, and it would be good practice, although I wouldn’t let other people see it because it would be of such poor quality. Which brings to another project I know that can be done well, a short story on role playing games. Viewing my friends playing D&D gave me inspiration on doing a short story, it will be something of a prequel to another story I started but haven’t finished yet titled Strays. I want to create a story, sort of rekindle the spirit of one of my older short stories, for some of you that do not know the title of that story is The Chicken Nugget Incident. However, this time the story will be longer and much more dramatic. I thought of this because of thinking that role playing games were sort of a waste creativity, why not try something worth while? I have already made an outline of the story, and made the character’s names, but the story has no title yet. It doesn’t matter though, a title will come as the work progresses. I would like to try to finish this work by the time I go into Basic Training, but I think it can be done. Plus, I can just use the filming of the game for notes on my story. This will be good, to rekindle my writing touch and feel less useless as I felt for the past year or so. I see this being a good story, very good one.
