Swords in Sigil

Game Master Patrick Curtin

I hope all is going well for you both. Unfortunately I have not solved my nursing issues yet. However, my day is looking up with a new book to read: The Broken Universe by Paul Melko.

Also, I managed to snag something that Doodlebug would love:

Sorry things are not going well with the nursing issues.

I am going to be down in Mattapoisett tonight through Sept 3 so I may not have access to email and the like so if I go silent that is why.

Fair enough. Enjoy your time in Matta-poi-poi

[Sigh]

Only gettin' swag up here. Oh well.

[bubble bubble bubble]

How was the vay-kay, Badger?

Well, updating my situation, it looks as if MassHealth has f~*&ed me anally sideways with a rusty chainsaw. I think I'm pretty much not going to have any nursing until next year. If either of you would like to come visit on a Saturday or some such, I'd be glad to host you. Otherwise we're going to have to wait until 2013 to meet up again I'm afraid

Sorry to hear that man. I am sure we can plan a trip down eh Crimmy? I would need to plan accordingly but I think it may be do able. I have been pretty as of late anyways. Perhaps we should switch this over to a POP till further notice?

Oh DA the vacation went well wish I was still on it :)

Yeah, let's do it. With notice I am always free on Saturdays. Also, I believe we're supposed to find Vonnegut's old home and smoke a fattie before Patrick moves from the Cape.

What's a POP?

Hey all, just a quick note. I will be intermittently posting as I have a lot of Fall cleanup to do to ready for Samhain. I will attempt to keep current as best I can.

Saturdays work very well. My wife isn't usually home until four so we could have the whole morning to play if you wished. As I stae above I will be busy pretty much into November though, but any time in that month would be good if you wanted to drop in.

The 17th or 24th of Novemeber might work for me? Anyone else?

I don't know why I didn't see this before!

I can't think of anything that I'm doing on either of those dates.

24th is the weekend after Thanksgiving. Actually that might not work too well as I think about it logically.

Ugh. Whatta week. The 17th is fine by me

Yay!! The 17th it is.

So how is everyone doing? I am sorry I have not been in touch lately had alot of personal stuff going on and been traveling for work.

Patrick has anything been getting better on the home front?

DA mentioned the storm messed with things for his work ... but how did everything hold up for you on the Cape Patrick? I was stuck in Florida of all places for the storm.

Storm went well. Only lost power for five hours.

I'm just happy the stupid dog and pony show is over, and I can forget that we live in one nation under corporate control.

Home front is the same. Bureaucrats don't care about anyone. Imma bout to find out where in Boston they house MassHealth and leave a flaming dogsh!t bag in their foyer. Of course, I'd likely be labeled a terrorist and get shipped out to Walpole.

If you folks wanna visit in two weeks I'll need to know.

Yes, don't get thrown in Walpole until after the 17th.

OK. 17th is good? This weekend? My wife has comitted to making us snacks.

I can't now. My Uncle bought the house in Mattapoisett and Carolyn and I need to be there this weekend to clear out our stuff or it gets pitched out. They are needing to get the house resolved before the end of the year for the tax considerations. Sorry guys :( I am not looking forward to this trip down memory lane and knowing it will be the last time I can really go there. Sorry for the last minute notice I just found out and was trying to sort out logistics of when we could do it.

:(

I can still come down for a visit, if you like, or I can wait until Badger can come down, either way.

I'll check in later.

Sorry to ruin things I feel bad it has been so long since we last got together.

I can still come down for a visit, if you like, or I can wait until Badger can come down, either way.

I'll check in later.

DA if you want to come down, I'd love to hang with you. We can play a one off, or you can come down and try Zombiecide with me (the board game). I'll look into getting us some refreshments

Private message me your address, Comrade Curtin, and it's a date!

So how did it go? I am sorry I could not make it.

I would suggest that you look up "Zombicide."

It's awesome!!!

It was quite awesome. Thanks again for making the trip out DA

No problem! It was fun.

Hey Doodlebug did you see this?

Seduction Feats pretty cool for Masque.

What do you say Patrick you okay with these feats?

Pretty hawt.

If he wants 'em I'm fine with it

Back from Belize I survived the end of the world how is everyone else holding up?

Apologies folks. I have been having a rather downer of a past few days, and my heart has not been in PbP. I will hopefully get some done tomorrow.

No worries my friend everything okay?

More Romneycare BS. Plus several other health-related things with my daughter. It tends to suck up a lot of my energy and good humor,

Either of you two planning on going to TotalCon this year?

Not sure I might how about yourselves? If you go which days do you plan on attending?

No worries, sorry to hear you've been down, Patrick.

How was Belize, Badger?

As for TotalCon: I want to attend the entirety of it and am considering getting a hotel room, but that might be wishful thinking.

Belize was amazing. Tikal was tremendous, food and booze was great. Can't wait to return. I would only go for a day if I were to go.

Patrick how about yourself?

Mike you up for lunch this week? I can tell you all about Belize and Guatamala.

I am going to try and take a daytrip up, but I really can't do much more than that

Well keep in touch and we can plan accordingly which ever day you choose to take I will attempt to go the same day as long as it is either Sat or Sun preferably Sat if you can swing it.

Oops, never mind the PM, Gruumash..

Thoughts on TotalCon:

Show up early and stay late! If Iron GM is going on, that was wicked awesome fun, but, unfortunately, took up multiple sessions which could have been used playing more games.

Things to think about.

Oh, as for lunch: So far all of my weekdays are open. My car is getting worked on as we speak so who knows, but, tenatively Tuesday?

I can always bring up the Zombicide board for a three-man game =)

Actually, not a bad idea, that.

I tried to buy it for a friend for Xmas. I hit up every gaming store in the area, and they all knew what it was, but none of them had it. :(

How about Wednesday for lunch Tuesday the big wigs are still here in the office and I may not be able to get away.

I might know a fe gaming stores you might be able to find Zombicide in if you are still looking. I can pick it up and you can pay me back if you are interested? There are also a couple web sites.

Guys once again I have to apologize. My daughter has been sick these past few days, and I haven't had time to update. I will attempt to update soon. Thanks for your patience

No worries friend. Hey the Razor Coast thing you sent me was that just to join the kickstarter? Or was it a sepecial event? I am planning to join that kickstarter by the way after the 12th when I have more cash flow. I was thinking of the 150 option. Getting the numbered hard copy version.

It was just a group where they'll be putting up previews. Not an actual event

Yeah, no worries.

Hey, do any of you guys know what happens if the Goblinworks doesn't hit its Kickstarter goal? For Christmas I gave The Black Goblin a lump sum of cash with the condition attached that he had to pledge it to Paizo, something he's been talking about for months but I doubt he would ever do on his own. Anyway, now he's worried he won't get the book.

I think they would either repost it with a smaller goal, or some folks behind the scenes might chip in some big ducats. I don't think it will be totally scrapped. I do think they were a bit optimistic though. Ah well.

Yeah, that's what I figured.

Last I checked, they had over $600,000 pledged. From a bunch of gamers, during a deep-going economic crisis? I'm pretty impressed, actually.

Just shy of 700k, actually. Hats off!

Considering the resistance they are getting about the PvP I am surprised as well.
