I am way lost...who is stalking you?

I heard Tina was stalkng him. By the way, did you see her new profile pic?

I just got back from my interview. It went pretty good. Two of the interviewers were the same as for another job I interviewed for back in September. I guess they were impressed enought to at least give me another shot at an interview with them.

Good luck dude, pulling for you!

Sweet.

Seven, count them, svn new dragons in there, plus new coatal, kobolds, and draks, and the draconians are back.

Gratz on the free book, it's always good to win something

I guess your dragon page is going to get longer.

Did I miss anything good?

Thanks all. Hey, off tangental topic: Anyone remember Thundarr the Barbarian? Remember his light-sabre ripoff Sunsword? Anyone know what I could use stat-wise to approximate it? Just wondering, hatching an evil DM scheme ATM ...

Should I be worried right now?

(Anyway, a Sunblade would probably be a decent approximation.)

Clearly by lots. Some of the new dragons are funky. Bronze Dragons now have a mechanic that they heal damage every time they enter water, as an example.

Back from school. Congrats to everyone who did well. Sorry to everyone who had stuff happen. Too tired to catch up. Also, like Dale Arden impersonation. Hope I didn't miss anyone.

How lame. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Don't worry, I was just drawing somebody out. See your FB inbox for multi-person conversation.

Yeah, I'm just trying to unconfusicate Solnes, since she wasn't in on this morning's conversation and posts have been deleted.

Speaking of which, it's time to go check out a certain thread about right now...

Really quick.

My wife and I were about to leave for game when she stopped me and decided to give me

What a woman. So glad we're getting married!!!

:D

I know I did. Stupid work keeping me away from all the people that really matter.

Howdy, Moorluck! How's it going?

I think David FBed you guys. You might check your inboxes.

I saw one thing from David. Is that what that was? There was a bunch of talk about stalking and multi-message FB stuff, so I got befuddled.

Are you on FB now?

I must have missed you.

Slow and in reverse, but at least it's still moving! :)

Bump.

Nope. Just not sure how I feel about posting right now... checking my own temp, not the thread's.

Everything OK?

Not bad, just weird. :) Thanks though.

Welcome back. I hope everything is OK.

Thanks. Did you hear anything back on your PFAP Open Call?

Didn't get selected. Josh decided no one got the feel for Absalom and is going with an established author. He also changed the submission rules for subsequent PFS scenarios (full adventure or 500-word query, then full adventure) to try to boost the quality of the submissions.

How's the novel coming along?

Well that sucks. I have the Absalom book, and I think your ideas dovetailed nicely. Now maybe it didn't mesh with their ideas or future Absalom plans, but that's not your fault (or any of the other submitter's faults).

Didn't get much written yesterday and nothing today. Not being able to go back and edit/gut it is really bothering me.

I am making a lovely dinner of Chicken Oporto fr dinner. I will post the recipe if anyone wants it.

It's hard to say. I have a tendency to write more "traditional" style adventures, so that hurts. Plus I used the Minotaur Prince in a way that may have run counter to their plans. He was really supposed to be a launching point for the author's own ideas. A lot of people struggled with this open call, that's for sure.

I have an idea that I'm going to throw Josh's way and see if he likes it. I just have to get it in a 500-word proposal.

I'm learning that it works better for me to just get the words in the document when I write. Then I can go back and edit later. I worked on something where I edited as I went along and totally threw it out because I over-wrote the piece. It was horrendous, and I had to apologize to my critique group when they reviewed it. Obviously, what works for me doesn't necessarily work for anyone else. I was just sharing. :)

That sounds delicious. I may ask you for the recipe later. My wife is working long hours, so our dinner ideas are getting kinda lazy.

Non-sequitur... Dave, do you ever just flip open a Monster Manual to a random entry and wonder "How could I convert this into a 0LA PC race?"

You know, just the other day, on a lark, I was musing to myself and nobody in particular, that....though inherently intrinsic to Dragonlance, draconians really aren't mutually exclusive to the aforementioned campaign setting.

I'll be in the nearest fallout shelter...

And the next post...

I try to just get it on paper first, but I can't go more than a couple pages or so without making at least two editing passes. With NaNoWriMo, I just started with a two sentence idea and two very vague characters... normally, I like at least of page of 'hooky' backstory, a half-dozen conflict ideas, and a pretty complete outline.
