So, I'll start with the good signs. Booted up Secret World again and immediately found helpful people in the OOC channels for roleplayers. Hoping I can find people this time around, as I otherwise liked the game ( Read more... )

The mood has hit me to start writing for a horror campaign that's unlikely to ever see daylight once more. Still, at least I'm in the mood for something, yeah? As inspiration I'm going through various horror and suspense films just to see if it sparks any useful ideas. And I have to tell you... there's a lot of horrible shit out there. Not as ( Read more... )

I quit WoW a while back. Not a big deal, really.. I was just done. I've never been addicted to it, never understood the drive to collect gear and cash. For me, it was another roleplaying outlet... and over the last year, I've quit finding roleplayers. Combine that with a bit of burnout where epic fantasy is concerned, and I just found myself ( Read more... )

So, the replacement laptop is working well. I've picked up one of those cooling units for it; no burning out the graphics card this time if I can help it ( Read more... )

I've been away for quite some time again. All apologies, mainly to myself. While there may still be some people watching, this (being a journal) is mostly a means of tracking the stupid little things that catch my attention in my life. I've been lax in recording such things ( Read more... )

So, then. An actual update.

Well, let's see. First off, had a major conflict at work. The company is having to give credit to a customer for something we didn't do wrong in the first place. Blame for this got chucked down the channel til it got to me, and since I don't have anywhere to put it (and refuse to try, seeing as we didn't do anything ( Read more... )

Nothing big in the life. Saw my mother-in-law, which was okay but made for a taxing week off of running around. Saw my dad and grandparents Sunday, which was good. The grandparents and the in-law seemed to like my cave. Playing through Final Fantasy X for the first time in a couple of years... and finding I hadn't forgotten that much. I guess ( Read more... )

I don't want to talk about much anymore. I don't want to talk about getting the consolidation loan. I don't want to talk about the people at work that annoy me or whether or not they will still be a problem much longer. I don't want to talk about my son's nightmares, or that I'm the one that gets to be the boogeyman in them. I don't want to ( Read more... )

So, as a quick update from the last note, Sunday didn't go horribly. The PCs are infiltrating their home city in an attempt to retake it from a demonic threat that is threatening to warp the place into a gate to the Abyss, so things are a bit hairy. They've recruited a Harper, as well as a member of the Arcane Brotherhood who was somewhat guilt- ( Read more... )

So, I've been cheating my players out of something lately. Namely, me. And I've been making excuses for it, but what it all comes down to is that I've been half-assing my game for the last adventure and a half or so. So, here I am, late night, statting things out... making a coherent effort to make the next session matter ( Read more... )
