If it's not obvious by now  I love gaming, particularly those involving a pen and paper.  It's not just playing games that I love, but also the ideas behind each one and how different writers decide to organize their worlds and what mechanics they create to get the specific flow they want out of their game.  Because of this I happened to amass a decently sizable collection of role playing games that, though I've skimmed through, I've never taken the time to fully learn let alone play.  So with that being said I decided as part of my resolution to blog at least once a week I will also take the time to learn a completely new game once a month.  This will be on top of my normal games (as I'm a bit of a junky and at this point I'm just upping my fix).  Additionally each of these games will be their own stand along games and not just a new setting or add on to a system I already know (you will see plenty of the in my Savage Worlds articles anyways).

Anyways, once a month I plan to pick up one of these books, read it through, teach it to what of my gaming group is willing to go along with my madness, and finally play at least a full session of it.  After all that is said and done I'll plop an article down show casing anything I loved, hated, or just found weird/new about it.  So here's to hoping every goes well any I don't die six months down the road from a brain aneurysm trying to wrap my head around some mechanic.
