Wasted Time?
I was recently told that a guest appearance I was making wouldn't happen. Disappointed (but completely understanding that Real Life Has Priority), I read on to the line...
"I hope you didn't spend too much time working on a game that you won't be able to use now."
No time working on a game is ever wasted to me. If I can't run this one here, I'll scale it down for the next opportunity. I'll scavenge the best bits and work it into my PBeM. I'll keep the idea hot and ready for another chance to play it out. Hey, at the very least, I'll dissect it here or on my Amber blog, assuming I ever get enough time to resurrect that. I can write it up and submit it as an adventure for pay. I could print it out and fold it into paper airplanes and fly them at a major gaming convention. I could wrap presents in it. I could shred it and put it in as lining for the bird cage, I could...
...I could get very silly with this, but the point remains.
