Not GILTy

[robotnik2004]

Hey, what happened to all the game idea posts? There was a lovely harvest of them early this week and then nothing. Is it because arctic weather snapped back into effect?

There ought to be a name for that last blast of winter that comes after a week or so of premature warmth, just when you start to let yourself think that spring has arrived. It's like Indian Summer's evil twin. I've heard people call the sneaky warm period "Strawberry Spring", but I don't know if that's real or just from a Steven King story. I was thinking something more like "Fuck You Winter".

Yeah, you're probably going to say, where are my game idea posts? Good point, but I did just put up 1300 words on Superman, sex pulps, and the secret history of weightlifting. That ain't knockwurst! I do have a few new GILT ideas, or reworked old ones, but they don't seem to come as fastly and furiously when you're living in gamer exile. Actually, there was a period, about two months after leaving Boston, when I felt like I was generating scores of beautiful mad ideas a day. I think I was sweating them out of my system or something. But now, not so much. Maybe I need more structure to bounce things off of. If I started up something like bryant's old weekly idea mash-ups, would people play along?

You can always stroll down memory lane with my de.icio.us/robotnik/gilt tag. All of my old LJ games-I'd-like-to are there, and a number of yours, although I know I'm missing some goodies.

Dear God, YES.

Also, it's a game in play, but I dare you to read ivan23's Nature's Journeymen PTA game and not gasp in awe.

Oh, and by the way? I have four words for you.

Gaming Weekend Bachelor Party.

Actually, I have an idea for a modern-day Exalted campaign thing I'm mulling over. But it's still in mull stage.

My GILT can be summed up in three words:

HEIST FREAKING GAME!

We've talked about this for too long. And I know the new Heist show that starts next week (on NBC? I can't remember, but my TiVo is already set to grab it) is only going to make me crave it even more.

I was about to berate you for apparently forgetting my brilliant post from last week (http://that-cad.livejournal.com/190888.html), but then I remembered that it was from last week, and you're expressly asking for this week.

(Didn't stop me from plugging it, however, as you can tell.)
