You Can't Take The Sky From Me

At least, we can hope! I thought I should do a new, almost introductory, post on the Blog as there are a load of people migrating from what we affectionately call 'The Hellsite' over to its logical replacement - Bluesky. 

I'm David F Chapman, but you can find me online on most platforms under the name AUTOCRATIK. I'm a game designer/writer (having worked on Conspiracy X 2.0, Buffy, Star Trek Adventures, and designing the Doctor Who RPG for Cubicle 7, as well as my own game of dreamshare technology called WILD). I've talked about them loads, and you can see all the books I've worked on in my "About Me" page - just click the link at the top.

But what's on this blog? Why look?

Most of the time on here I talk about games and what I'm working on at the moment - at least as much as my NDAs will allow. If it's not bound by contracts and stuff, it'll be on here.

I also talk about movies and TV shows - I'm such a massive nerd that I do get a bit carried away with cool media. I used to write reviews and do previews/interviews at press things for various online blogs, and went to press conferences in the heyday of Marvel, when Avengers was just about to come out, through to Guardians of the Galaxy... (after that, the invites kinda dried up. I guess when the movies are that huge, you don't need to drum up interest!)

But I love all that stuff. I love Marvel movies, Star Wars, Star Trek, cool genre shows, and I'm still absolutely obsessed with The X-Files and Twin Peaks. So be warned, there is likely to be a lot of that sort of stuff being discussed here. (I'm actually watching The X-Files again as I'm typing this... season nine at the moment in my current rewatch).

My love for genre movies and TV is probably why I'm such a massive fan of licensed games. Always have been. When I started tabletop roleplaying, the first game I played was Traveller, but I really just wanted to play Star Wars (which was why Star Frontiers was the first game I bought). My favourite RPGs as a teen were the West End Games Star Wars and Ghostbusters games. There's just something about getting to play around in the worlds that I love...

I hope, one day, to merge my obsessions once more. 

There we go. I thought I'd pop something a bit more positive at the top of my blog for a bit - especially as there were possibly some newbies taking a look to see what I do. 

Stay safe and stay multi-classy!!
