Keeping Focused

It seems to be the hardest thing I can do lately. Keeping focused on a task enough to accomplish...or even begin. I'm having trouble focusing at work, as I tend to find large aspects of my job boring, and can't even stay focused when doing things I enjoy.

The problem with my job is the biggest problem, but it is even when dealing with my favorite hobby...RPGs. I can't stay focused with a single campaign long enough to get beyond a few games. The sad thing is that the games are really good. Everyone seems to enjoy them, and now that I am playing on OpenRPG its even easier to keep our current game going. But I one the other hand I want to try something new.

Do I want it easier or do I want more control. This stems from my recent dissatisfaction with the d20 system. I know the system inside and out, I can run standard D&D games without even cracking open a book, and make them interesting. Plus EVERYONE seems to play D&D so its easy to find a group.

On the other hand I would really like to play more unisystem. My last game while on vacation went extremely well and I had more fun than I can remember in that game.

Maybe it was the players, but I know that it was also with the game itself. However I know that I will want to switch out of a simple zombie game before long. I would want something with intrigue and high fantasy.

Maybe if I used the unisystem and mixed with a more magic meets technology feel like Shadowrun or Rifts. Something about the rebirth of supernatural powers in humans and the return of the creatures of myth. That would be an interesting apocalytic style game. I'll have to wait and see as there are a lot of things I want to do, but don't really have the time fore.

I sure being on watch will give me a little more time to create something unique and memorable.

Oh well enough rambling for now.
