If there is one thing I've learned, it's that when someone on the internet mentions tentacles, you should run far far away. Especially if they provide a link.

The internet is broken? That means we can all do things offline, like have a BeDazzling everything party!

Kingmaker tonight, and me without overly lucky dice.

So long as they are not overly loaded with bad luck (for players) as mine are.

My GM die rolls were odd on Saturday. We only did the first fight in Magnimar in the Skinsaw Murders, but I must have confirmed 5 crits and 2 fumbles in just that one fight. That was also the first night we got to use Tim's new fumble and critical decks. Go figure.

I also feel bad for Tim's oldest son who plays the Dwarven fighter/rogue of the team. He has a great build for his character, but he has the worst luck on die rolls. I really want him to have fun as a new player, but what can be done for a run of bad luck? I hope it passes soon.

Naked and pathetic, apparently.

It could be worse......

Prof posted the exam results early. I did surprisingly well. Not only passed but managed to salvage my grade to a B not a C. Woo hoo! :D

And now it really feels like the semester from hell is over.

*Loads internet from a floppy*

Yep, because what you down-load from the internet guaranteed not to give you a floppy.

And hello everyone.

Congratulations, you deserve it. You seem to have worked really hard and I am happy for you. Now you get to enjoy the break?

Anyway, Well Done.

Break?!? YOU get a BREAK?!??

What is this 'break' of which you speak?

My university semester is over, graduation is over,...

But I still have to deal with outside rentals of the auditorium! UNFAIR!!!

MAN I miss my old (pre-katrina) job. I had so much time invested in that company, and so many days off for each year that I never got to use during the year, that I almost always got to take off the entire month of December! :)

Thank you. :)

sand yes, now I get a nice long break before next term starts. A whole month. Time to catch up on missed sleep, play some video games, get PBPs started again, etc. :)

The day someone builds a sustainable VR environment of a fantasy realm and makes it where someone won't die from playing, will be the day a ton of people suddenly disappear from reality.

Sometimes it seems like it's happing a little bit more every day.

No offense to folks on Facebook, but I find it somewhat disturbing when folks have hundreds of "friends" online, but they don't know a single one of thier neighbors. OTOH I have a number of folks online (mostly here) that I consider friends, and I would gladly open my home to them. Go figure.

woohoo!!!!!!!

Gratz! :D You survived!

No seriously, my office has two Otis Spunkmeyer cookie ovens, and the company supplies us with frozen cookie dough to cook as often as we see fit.

Join uuuuusssss!

After all that time in Japan, it was nice to go over to the food court here at work and have one of my beloved bacon burgers.

Yeah, Japan doesn't do bacon right, that's for darn sure!

Luckily, I didn't go bacon-less there. There was a club on base I hit for breakfast a few times, and they had excellent bacon.

I make a strong distinction between "Facebook Friends" - people who are about as much your actual friend as people you pass in the halls/street/office on a regular basis and recognize - and actual online friends, who are no different from IRL friends except that you can only contact them through technological means for reasons of distance, location, health, or other factors.

I consider them two very different categories, perhaps with some overlap - like that one guy you work with who's also your buddy off the clock.

I hear you.

Back when I was on Myspace most of my "friends" were friends IRL first, bands I liked, and a few folks from political and gaming groups.

that it needs is own distinction is proof of its evil. down with Facebook!

hi everyone

hi everyone

Howdy!

How is Sabine doing?

...and entered. :) Good luck, all participants. :)

Good luck to all who are entering! Best of luck.

I myself will not be entering this year.
According to the PAGES of advice/discussion threads, I am a poor item crafter at best it would seem. ;P

Although this has never stopped me before, I have been seriously suffering from 'creativity drought' recently. :(

I'll just get my creative-happies vicariously through all of you! :D

So enter! I need ideas to steal,... I mean, INSPIRE me for next year! :)

ON WITH THE SHOW!

not entering this year myself. not sure if I will ever enter again. didn't enjoy last year's contest, although I would gladly hug the victor. the 1k threads are much more my speed and type ofcreativity.

As I said before, the main thing keeping me from competing is that the show opener is a magic item. Unless it's a macguffin or a spell-in-a-can, two things that don't fare well in these kinds of contests, I'm really not all that good with coming up with an idea unless my muse just happens to strike just right. If it had opened with one of the other options - especially creating a monster - I'd be on the front line.

Whazzat?

much better, or it would be, if she would not have done a lactose-intolerance "self-test" by eating chocolate today :-/

this too plays a role, if a small one. I would like to see something other than magical items for round one in upcomingyears.

New spells would be kinda cool, and maybe small enough to keep it to about the same sort of size limit. Feats? It's hard to think of something small and granular enough for an opening gambit.
