Just one more week....
Kevin on Dark Elves: "Drizz'l? What are you gonna do, RAIN on us?"
Kevin on D&D: "lol I should make a D&D character, Trog D'orr, half-Dragon"
Yay. Today was the last full day of classes. Now if I can just survive finals, I am home free.
Today was ... interesting. It was probably the best one ever, due to the fact that we did NOTHING and... Mr. Osborne rode a moped. Oh yes. Mr. Osborne has often told us stories about experiences in the 80's. Basically, mullets, mullet grease, bandanas, cutoff shorts, and of course, mopeds. He also loves the Jets football team. Hence... today.. Cody rode to school on his moped, which he painted green and adorned with numerous Jets stickers. Adding to the hilarity was that he parked it in Osborne's usual spot, so when he goes to pull into the lot in the morning, the parkage of his car is fully interfered with by a GREEN JETS MOPED. We went down to see it during class (since we had nothing to do), Osborne fully stating that he would not ride it, something about blah blah it might be a motorcycle, it has too many cc's or whatever. But the moment he sat down on that baby and put on the dork 80's helmet, he couldn't resist. 5 seconds afterward he was chugging around the parking lot at a massive 5 mph, a look of childish delight on his face that i cannot describe, and promptly stopped by a gas leak. Yay for Cody and holding together the gas line with a clamp. Classic.
Not much else going on. Feeling nostalgic over the Dragonlance MUD I used to play, so I started writing a DL fic. And promptly became utterly dispairing that most of the things we did on the MUD weren't exactly adhering to DL. Races and ages and ooooh goodness. Two of the main characters are half-elven, but I've seen 3298302 different DL sites that list 2585823058 different lifespans for them. Ok, I mean, wtf. Tanis (half elf) is 90 and looks about 30 and Dalamar (elf) is 90 and looks 25. So by that standard, my girl would have to be around that age if I want her to look early 20's. But lo and behold her father is human, and i want him alive in the story, so then she has to be 60, which evens out to around 16 - how can she be a cleric when she only looks 16? And then that puts her father at a whopping 80, which makes no sense if he is supposed to be Grandmaster of the Knights, which also doesnt make sense because there are no vague periods of time and most of the grandmasters are outlined in DL history, and then half elves only live to be 120, but that only comes out to a human THIRTY-THREE, who in the hell dies naturally when they look 33?! And then the girl's brother is human, which makes no sense, because even tho the father was human the mother was wild elf, and how in the crap do wild elves even GET to a city, and she has no recessive human gene so how is the boy human when the father wasn't married previously?? >_< Then the one knight is half -elf, which makes no sense because the story kinda takes place in the 4th age and then other races weren't admitted into the Knights til the 5th, and then his last name is Kanan, which can't be because he's not a member of the Qualinost royal family and it would seem implausible if I made him so, and then the Grandmaster's name is ConDoin but there's ConDoin stuff all over the net even tho i have no idea which RPG it came from and grr!!!
Oh my. So basically it takes place in the 4th age, After the War of the Lance but before the 5th age Chaos war crap, in its own little imaginary pocket in time >_< I think I am going to have to change things/take some artistic liberties with this. Especially if I want to submit it to dragonlance.com. :P
Yeah. Thanks for reading this far. I know no one cares about my dorky fantasy fetish. Man. I hope I meet some D&D players in college.
