Other kinds of storytelling

Ah, storytelling. You know, I haven't thought about it a lot, but I've really attempted to do storytelling in a lot of different ways. I know I've obviously talked about The Paladin and the short stories I have here on the site, and I've even talked a little bit about my dabbling with Pro Wrestling (the finest form of theater and I will go to my grave insisting that.) But I've messed with a few other things.

Beyond straight up stories, I've written a couple of screen plays. Nothing amazing, but it was what I intended to do with my degree. I'll likely fold the ideas from both of those into The Paladin world. Had some good ideas, which I won't share here, but I might include in short stories or, heck, maybe in my next novel.

I've talked a little bit about the Table Top RPG stuff I've been doing, which is very time consuming. Seriously, if you've played but never DM'd a session, go buy your DM a soda or something. I'm preparing for a one-shot, a single go that isn't likely to go into a longer story, and I already have 18 pages of notes. 18 pages! And frankly, I feel like I'm under-prepared. My hat is off to DMs that do this stuff weekly and manage to keep things fresh and exciting for their players.

Lastly, I've even tried to mess with video games. I think this is where I overextended myself. Of course I've played with RPG Maker (I actually used RPG Maker to create my English final for my Junior year. My prof was strangely impressed) but I also have some legit gamemaker tools, too. Steam had a sale, what can I say? I'll be honest, I'm not very good at programming. I watched a lot videos, did the programming tutorials, and... I can make a brick and ball game. Yeah. I know, pretty badass. My game is like Arkanoid, but way cooler. Point is, I really wanted to do a long RPG so I can tell an epic story, but that's really unlikely to happen anytime soon.

So, I've messed with lots of ways to tell stories, and I guess the normal, standard method of writing it down as a story will have to suffice for the time being. Though, the idea of The Paladin video game does still float in the ether of my imagination.
