New ArM saga in the works

It has been a long time.

Consolidating all my internet accounts, I've rediscovered this blog. So I've decided to reuse it. Ironically, I'm just now in a similar position to where I was when I abandoned it - setting up an Ars Magica game online. After several unsuccessful PbP games, I've decided to try something with a more regular schedule - a virtual tabletop game. I've not yet decided on which applications to use, but at the moment it seems MapTools and Skype are the leading contestants.

All this will have to wait, however. My PhD proposal needs to be submitted, and I don't have any to submit! I'm gonna write one down this week whatever happens. I also want to talk to Tal in Weizmann Inst., about a joint work we might do together, and need to do some reading and thinking before that... a hard week ahead of me. A hard month, as afterwards I'll need to prepare the poster for the IFP Conference, prepare for the MIT symposium, and complete the article for Ronnie, all while working with Tal is things go well... One month, since after that I'm off-work for another two months of travel, conherencing, and army... I'm gonna be busy.

So, at best the new campaign will be in three months' time. Lots of time, but little time to prepare for it. Oh well, at least I met an Ars Magica player at the Safed conference. That's pretty rare in-of-itself.
