Omens Better Left Lost: An Age of Worms Campaign

Game Master Kobold Catgirl

It has been over a hundred years since Aroden's death, since the ravaging of Absalom. The Age of Glory is over before it began, almost all prophecies shattered and tossed to the winds. But the Age of Lost Omens may already be nearing its own end. What age comes next?

I mean, I've seen some PbPs with rough endings, but I couldn't let this one be, "And then they searched a toilet. The end."

Maybe we've read all the signs wrong, and the Age of Worms is actually about some virulent form of enteric fever or cholera or whatever? *Shrugs.*

Was off the boards for a few days because of a bad cold, but I'm excited to start this game back up again!
Female Kobold

Me too! I'll try to put together some kind of recap at the end of the adventuring day, so everyone can sort of refresh themselves on everything that happened before the 2.5-month break. :P
Female Kobold

Got home, pretty bushed. Update tonight in a bit, or else tomorrow.

Posting to all the campaigns I’m playing in: I’m travelling for the next couple of days, so my access to the boards will be spotty at best until late Wednesday / early Thursday. I’ll try to post as per usual if I can, but feel free to bot me as necessary.
Three Faces of Evil Maps (Current: Slide 4); 16th of Arodus, Time: 8:24 PM

Goodness gracious I literally told my girlfriend, "Yeah, I'm gonna go update the forum games now," and then instantly got caught up in an ADHD hyperfocus and now it's two hours later and time for bed. I really need to fix my sleep schedule, so I'll post tomorrow!
Female Kobold

Actually, I may not get a post up until Saturday or Sunday. I'm doing okay--I'm just pressed by a work deadline I didn't quite meet today due to yesterday's troubles. I still haven't fixed that sleep schedule, so everything's sort of higgledy piggledy.

Post to all my games: I am going on vacation from August 30th - September 8th. While I'll have my phone I won't be posting much if at all during that time.
Three Faces of Evil Maps (Current: Slide 4); 16th of Arodus, Time: 8:24 PM

I mentioned it in the Discord, but to repeat it here: We'll be back soon.

Life Stuff:
So, like a lot of people with ADHD, my productivity tends to come in wildly uneven waves, waxing and waning without any real long-term self-awareness. Usually, when I'm on a high, I start taking on more work, which causes terrible but very predictable burnout when I hit the low. It's basically this comic.

I'm on a high right now, bouncing back from a pretty low point a couple weeks ago. For once, I've decided to use the emotional energy to cut my workload instead of increase it. It seems obvious when I say it like that, and my friends and multiple successions of therapists have been telling me to do it for literal years, but I'm someone who tried to balance PbPs, NaNoWriMo, the edTPA and full-time serial writing as recently as last November. It finally clicked with me last week, when I got the news that my current therapist wouldn't be able to get on my network after all, that uninsured therapy bills cost a lot more than turning down the odd commission.*

So, yeah. The compromise I basically made with myself was that I'd give myself one last big swing at catching up "properly" over the next two days, then, assuming I don't pull something really fantastic off, cancel a number of work commitments I've determined I can afford to lose.

One way or another, I am pretty sure I'll soon be out of the absurd overextended deadline-dangling woods I've been in for the last couple years. Sorry I've kept you all waiting for such a while! It remains to be seen if things will meaningfully get better, but honestly, I'm sort of in that Capitalist Realism "easier to imagine the end of civilization than the end of having 12 past-deadline projects to catch up on at all times" type of space, so it's hard for me to judge. Once I'm there, I'm pretty sure a lot of things will suddenly get a lot easier for me.

*Thank goodness I don't have those pesky long Canada wait times. Goodness, could you imagine a therapist having a wait list? Kafkaesque.

Doing fine! Just assisting local ghouls, goblins, and succubi (!) in attaining their sugar highs.

Hope all are well this All Hallows’ Eve.

Had a quiet day in with the wife! We rewatched House/Hausu and started Resident Evil Village, and did all the part with Lady Dimitrescu *heart eyes*

Belatedly(Which is what makes the quarter festivals extending into the next day nice. :) ), happy Halloween, everyone!

Mine was also quiet, mostly because some baking didn't turn out on Saturday (too many distractions while beating meringue by hand, and recklessly kludging together what I suspect are some fairly casual and possibly translated recipes), but I insisted on trying again, which took up most of the day.

Reread Demchuk's The Bone Mother, which has a lot more body horror in it than I remembered, but also some very sweet moments, and lined up a few other silly books from the library to read for fun rather than work.
Female Kobold

We sort of skipped Halloween, because we've all been swamped lately over here. That said, I did take my girlfriends out to the fields behind the apartment complex, and we picked a bunch of "feral gourds" growing around the university's compost heap there. Never got around to carving them, but they're all very festive!

Oh, and my girlfriend and I finished watching (rewatching, for me) Buffy the Vampire Slayer, by which I mean we finished Season Five and then decided to forget the few episodes we saw of Season Six.

The post is halfway done but I'm gonna go to bed! I'll get it finished tomorrow, now that I have momentum and know what's gonna happen. I think the "late-night post half-draft" is an approach I might keep using--it's a nice way to do this.

Hey, I'm just taking a few days to get sorted. I'll keep steadily communicating, even if the messages start getting repetitive, just because I don't want to drop off the face of the thread. Things are okay, but I overshot myself a little and need to slow down and focus on work for a bit.

Thanks for letting us know, but please don't worry about it! Either if things start getting repetitive, or if it just becomes easier for you to post an ETA, as it were.

Take care of yourself and your work first, certainly. :)

Yeah, still working on things. Being off Adderall is doing a number on me, and I may go back on it soon, once I feel safer with the mood stabilizers.

Just realized I never rolled to confirm the threatened crit on Rosella's readied attack. Been playing a bit too much 2e I guess.

Critical Confirm?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

I was hoping to work on posts today or tomorrow, but we'll see how bad the Latest Discourse interferes with that.

I'm taking an extra-long weekend to visit my sister. I probably won't post much if at all from now until Wednesday, so please bot me if needed.
Female Kobold

Okay, travel safe!

The PbPs are moving to be higher priority as I'm getting more caught up on work, so I'm hopeful.
Female Kobold

Things are going well! I just got a little swamped with Holly Days prep lately, but work is smoothing out considerably. The mood stabilizers seem to be working.

It's snowing pretty heavy, so I'm bracing myself for outages. Oregon is just the worst at handling snowstorms. Just a heads-up.

Well, the snow's melting, so I guess we dodged that bullet! I've been a little off-kilter since the holidays (lots of days off in a row make it hard to reenter the flow of things), but I hope to reorient myself soon.
