Connors Campaigns Welcome

Welcome to my homepage. Whilst this is focused on Roleplaying Games, I also use it to list, link and discuss other areas of interest, such as music.

Please have a look around. (If you are a GM in a roleplaying game you will find many tools and docs to your liking). Also, please feel welcome to ask questions and post on the forums.

Cheers, Connors.

What's New?

May 15th, 2012

• Messed with the Links and Layout a little. I didn't receive any suggestions, but please do so if there are other sites I could add. Still looking for ways to 'channel' people through here, so if other links could be added, feel free to suggest them.

Song of the Week

• I haven't posted one of these for a while. Been busy with the Sundered Skies stuff, but mainly just haven't bothered. I thought I would try this segment on the front page as another way to entice some discussion here.
• I also tried adding links to the several sports sites I know others do spend a lot of their time looking at, as a way to try and 'channel' people through here,but that clearly hasn't worked much either. So, I am looking for ideas for ways to get people to visit here more often? Maybe some need to go across the top nav bar? Suggestions welcome!?!
• Anyway, here is one that has been on my favourites for a while: Unwritten Law Nevermind

April 26th, 2012

• Updated some documents attached to the GM Tools page including the Savage Worlds Combat Actions list with guns and all of the Realms Docs. The Realms are basically the Mark 3 version as referred to in the forums. The docs have been cleaned up somewhat with a lot of info moved from the At A Glance section and others such as Traits, Types and Customs all rolled into one group; Traits. Type now refers to what you are actually creating (ie: Civilised settlment/region, Wilderness, Magical/Planar place, Tribe, Organisation, Dungeon/Ruin, Other), then the Traits modify this base type.

• Added Tone Deaf link on side nav bar. It is a good Australian music news site, inc Tour Dates, etc.

April 23rd, 2012

• Added Fan Footy link on side nav bar.

Songs of the Week

• Red Fang! I know it is not quite a week, but I just couldn't hold out on these guys any longer. I have been trying to get their stuff for ages, and in the end I just Youtubed them, and holy Shite! These guys' videos are freakin' awesome. More redneck rock, this time with big beards, massive riffs and a whole truck load of beer drinking. New fav band? For sure! Check out Prehistoric Dog. Spot the 'link' with this roleplaying site too ;) You have to check these guys out AND then watch their other 2 videos whilst you are there. (Wires and Hank Is Dead).
• Whilst here I am posting a link to Shane's pick too. Thanks for joining in on the forums of late. No actual vid, but here is link Thousand Foot Krutch Fly on the Wall.

Song of the Week

• Wow, a week goes by quickly, but I am not short of songs. Have quite a few favs right now. Resisting the urge to post one from the Pogues following their great concert I am going with The Black Keys - Lonely Boy. Have had this in my list of favs for a while, and well, I love the film clip. The boys and I can all dance to this one. ;) Enjoy. (Oh, and comment in the Forums from time to time :)).
• [April 23rd Edit]: How cool, the guys playing in the pub here Saturday night played an awesome version of this. Good night.

April 12th, 2012

• Dispersed the Next Game Forum into separate Ballarat and Wyche forums. That way we can discuss each date discussion in their own thread without having to trawl through all the irrelevant past games/dates.

April 11th, 2012

• Game on Saturday 14th April: Just a reminder (as the boards have been quiet), we ARE playing this Saturday starting at lunch time and going until late. :)

April 10th, 2012

Song of the Week

• Another one from Shane I believe. Some good ol' redneck rock - clip reminds me of My Name Is Earl which is always a good thing. So, this week it is Theory of a Deadman - Lowlife

April 3rd, 2012

• Has anyone used Shelfari? A site where you catalogue your books. Very handy. I started in this ages ago, but decided to find it again. I have started my shelves. Not sure I really should be inc RP Books, as this could get ugly. Look, I even get a widget for my shelf ;)

March 25th, 2012

• Reloaded new copy of the Encounters doc under GM Tools. (Mainly just colour coding and references changes).
• Reloaded all the Realms docs under DM Tools. This is basically Mark 2 of these. I have done a lot of work on these! Updates include a lot of the old 3E versions where each Realm had Traits, level etc. Also included colour coded references and changed the colour code of each section a little, so they should be easier to follow. Most importantly though, I added the mechanic inspired by Pathfinder's GamesMastery Guide. We now have 10 Modifiers each realm has and these have an effect on the PCs who interact with the realm. I REALLY hope you guys print these out and use them. It might seem a lot to get your head around at first, but printed out in a display book makes a lot more sense. I guarantee, you use these a few times and you will love creating realms. Reminder: realms for these docs means any place of organisation from a guild to goblin tribe to thorp, to forest, desert, on to kingdom or continent spanning empire. Check them out and then leave some feedback on our boards. Connors is dying to hear from you!

Song of the Week

• OK, going for The Sound of Winter by Bush this week. A little late I know, but it is good to see these guys back, and with a good song. Takes me back to their awesome debut. A LOT of good songs on there ;)
• Hey, when I had this playing on YouTube I must have accidentally clicked on another band in the side selections - turned out to be Blue October - their song The Chills. Not bad, and I had never heard of them. Apparently they have done well in the U.S Alt Rock charts…might appear here next week ;)

March 21st, 2012

• Added Sports and Music links to the Side Nav Bar.
• Added Sports Forum to the boards.

March 15th, 2012

• Adjusted this opening page inc First Song(s) of the Week (and plan on adding more links for music later).

Song(s) of the Week

Right now I have been listening a lot to Warrior Soul, so The Wasteland is competing with my new favourite song at the moment: Tracer's Too Much - I need to listen to album some more. Thanks to Shane for this discovery :)

March 6th, 2012

• Added Sundered Skies to our Settings page and the top nav bar links too.
• Not of any importance to anyone, but I have added a page for myself, to catalog the gigs I have been to.
