This is the blog where I go to think my thoughts.

So, I'm resurrecting an old Campaign

I have talked some friends into resuming a GURPS Campaign that had some problems, mainly with the GM, which contributed to another friend's decision to stop gaming because of the arguments that it engendered.
 
But, see, the strange thing is I wasn't the GM - I was a player in this campaign. The GM was another guy, K. Good guy, like him a lot, has some power-gamer issues which were the big problem. Instead of trying to run a fun game (and not to say that the game was un-fun), I felt he wanted to dominate the players with powerful allies and enemies. I've encountered that somewhat and have been guilty of that myself at times, but I think that he can grow into a better GM. Unfortunately, K cannot be a part of the game because of distance and scheduling conflicts.
 
The friend who stopped gaming because of the arguments is G. I convinced him to show up. We'll see if I can avoid the problems that plagued us before.
 
So, I'm going to GM this setting, someone else's game world, and I'm pretty excited about it. Not much to do, just have a firm grasp of what the NPCs are going to do, and we'll see what the PCs have in store.
 
Should be interesting, nonetheless. First time that I've hijacked someone else's campaign!
