...I just realized how thoroughly neutral our D&D party is. I know I haven't written about events lately (I've been busy/lazy and Isilme hasn't really gotten the chance to make extensive diary entries), but here's a summary of our recent actions ( Read more... )

For jonsonite: our arcane spellcaster, the generally charming and physically frail Isilme.

Sorry about the obnoxious watermark on the full view. For you all who live near me, I can show you the original sketch, if you like.

Enjoy!

For marysia: Our wise, serious druid, and our healer.

I replied to the original request, as well.

Is it bad that, even though I became saturated with Middle-Earth a long time ago, I still can get lost in this picture? It's a drawing by Tolkien himself, of the Halls of King Thranduil, in Mirkwood. I rediscovered it today while looking for wallpapers at work. So much of my high school self was tied to this place. No surprise, then, that the ( Read more... )

Maybe I should keep a private log of these so I don't spam your friend's pages. See, I lose the composition every time I log out, so I have a time-limit and incentive to preserve my work. At least I'm updating more often ( Read more... )

This morning I was pondering yet again how to free our D&D party from slavery -- specifically, how to assist our spellcasters. They're all wearing manacles and a collar which prevents the gestures and words from connecting to produce the usual effect. We have a druid who must shapeshift to draw her power, a slightly hindered ranger, a wizard ( Read more... )

I sat here for a while considering what I wanted to write.

A few days ago I caught a blurb in the paper about a Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex movie. Since I love the series, I eagerly searched for and bought a fancy version of DVD -- which includes the soundtrack. I'm listening to it on the speakers this computer. I have to watch the ( Read more... )

I am writing from marysia's house on her insistence ( Read more... )
