More Updates

 Still a crazy time here with the day job and trying to get Darker Stars done. 

I have been getting a bunch of behind the scenes updates done here as well. Getting my #RPGaDay posts sorted. Getting my October posts figured out, not just for my horror movies, but also various reviews and posts for the RPG Blog Carnival.

When I have some free time (which is never) I am also poking around trying to update and modernize this old TRS-80 computer.

TRS-80

As you can see I have not gotten very far.  But I think everything I need is there. It is an upgrade from 64k to 16g. That is an increase in memory of 250,000 times. Not too bad, really. 

A few other projects I still have going.

My Forgotten Realms exploration continues. My oldest is currently running what we are calling "It's Always Sunny in Waterdeep." The PCs have gained the deed to a bar and are in the process of building it up and going on side quests to fund it. Of course, this isn't "Cheers," so the side quests usually involve something illegal. 

I am helping update the classic "A Paladin in Hell" to be a sequel to "Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus" and calling it "A Barbarian in Hell."  Everyone in his group has played Baldur's Gate 3, so they are all very eager to go to Hell and rescue Karlach.

A Barbarian in Hell

Under 5e A Barbarian in Hell is a killer adventure. I am expecting more than one death here.

I'll have to let you know how it all goes.

That's a lot of stuff to do. At least that TRS-80 is good for storage if nothing else.

That's an awesome project on updating the computer. I wonder if there is a small enough LCD screen that can fit in the hole for the old tube monitor.

I have a monitor ready to go.
