Since we last left our heroes....
Goodness me - it's been over a year since I last updated this. My Blogger account is even worse off, so don't feel too bad, LJ....
Let's see, what's happened in the last year.
I gave up on Tribal Wars. Extremely annoying forum idiots, liars and cheats, and too big of a time suck. If it wasn't fun, why was I spending 2-3 hours a day on it?
Team Fortress 2 came out, and I played it until my eyes bled. So much blood! I loves me a pyro....
My Haukmoor campaign finally completed a "farewell" story arc for one of the PC's. That was supposed to be 4-6 sessions taking a little over a month - it became 14 sessions and took two years. We're now rolling on a variety of new plotlines and it seems to have re-invigorated my players.
I got serious about my SCA fighting, finally. My body's not liking a lot of it (sucks to be 35 and competing with 25 year olds) but you play the hand you got dealt. Unfortunately I just got dealt a joker and threw my back out a week ago.
I've become a podcast addict, when it comes to podcasts about RPGs. I'm regularly listening to eight of them now, with Fear The Boot, Sons of Kryos, and Dragon's Landing leading the pack.
Assorted family hijinks on my parent's side, and it looks like it's not going to end well.
We ripped out all the carpet in the living room and replaced it with laminate flooring. No, I don't own the house, I'm just an idiot tenant that loves to be a DIY handyman. I didn't pay for it myself, though; I'm not that idiotic. ;) We also repainted, the place actually looks decent now.
My wife and I celebrated our tenth and eleventh wedding anniversaries (June 1st).
Finally, said wife is expecting, and due August 18th, with our first kid. It's purportedly a girl, but the techs are all being cagey about it.
That's not everything, but it's an eclectic smattering of the major and the minor. It'll do for now.
