Orthos, where are you moving to? You have been in China, correct?We still are, we just moved to a different apartment in the same city.
Oh, very cool! Congratulations on the new pad!! It sounds terrific!

That's great, Zoken! Sorry to only now pop in. I take a veritable cornucopia of medications for both physical and mental health. A few weeks back my insurance carrier just arbitrarily stopped covering one of the meds I take for depression, and let me tell ya, after a couple of weeks I was scoping the area for available clock towers with clear lines of sight. I managed to get insurance to continue covering the particular medication in question and I slowed down my search for vantage points for the moment. Good luck and keep on keepin' on! You got this!
Hi, chiming in here. Like with Quibs, it took me a long, long time to learn to just throw up my hands and let them think they're right and they've "won" an internet squabble. Anymore, if I post something controversial or sure to hack off the devotees of a certain head of state who loves gold statues to himself and fascism and they want to start something I just tell them I'm not interested in pursuing the topic. I'm right, they're wrong, and it's not up to me to prove it to them. Anyweez, that's my 2 coppers on the matter. Best of luck to you!
It's Thursday night, the eve of the weekend is upon us. So what's everyone doing this weekend? Big games? Summertime chores? Searing animal flesh over open flames? This weekend I'll be fighting a black mold invasion of my bathroom. Depression and physical health has caused me to be unable to keep it in check, so now I have to get drastic. But in good news, I have been cleared by the psych evaluation for my bariatric surgery. Now to just lose 8 very tenacious pounds and bring my BMI below 55. Then they'll schedule the surgery! Alright, let's get gamey! Or...gamish...umm...roll high! No fumbles!
Orthos, where are you moving to? You have been in China, correct?
Geez, how did I miss two weeks of new beasts in a row? I'm getting old and my cognitive cogs must be slipping.
Hey, all. Jumping in a little late this week. I've had a lot going on and I'm trying to get my brain sorter all sorted. How does everyone else's weekend look?
Nothing happening around here this weekend. Roommate is on the road with my son's band (he's their roadie) so I have the place to myself until Sunday. No games scheduled until June 27th, so I guess I'll sleep all day tomorrow and stare at housework until it leaves in a huff. What are you all up to?
Wanna watch a movie that will make you uncomfortable AND make you hate all of your life choices up to this point?
*de-colon-izes*
No games here this weekend and it's looking like next weekend might be a bust as far as getting enough warm, squirming bodies into chairs for a game. I am, however, going to be on a 48 hour liquid diet to prep for both an upper and lower G.I. as part of the requirements to being approved for bariatric surgery later this summer. Then I have to take a magical elixir that will eliminate all of the stuff inside my colon as well as my will to live. Ah, well... How about everyone else?
I wish there was a heart emoji for this.
Spent most of today building flat-pack furniture. I bet Elric never had to trouble himself with things like this. He would bully Yyrkoon into doing it.
And remember, "Nothing good ever shambles" -- Shane S. in a long ago CoCd20 game. Not games this weekend. The roomie, who is my son's best friend and the roadie for his band, will be gone tomorrow for show in St. Louis. I'll have the house to myself and I'll try take a swipe at the filth my roommate prefers to live in. With my pain and mobility issues it's really difficult for me to keep the house clean after he has been inside for one minute and he's not doing his share of stuff. If I didn't need the financial assistance his share of expenses cover, he'd be in the freaking street. *pants, paces, pants some more* Sorry, everyone.
Oh, extremely wicked. I love it.
Hopefully the tiny dogs have homes!
....pies.... Nothing going on here this weekend. I'm fostering a couple of tiny dogs until I can find a home for them. They were dumped at my sister's house. Tomorrow I'll take them to a vet and have them scanned for chips, but I'm not holding my breath.
Beautiful. Just beautiful. I think the best pun I ever had in game was the title of a long ago 2e adventure I ran. The premise was a large group of Elves were plotting to overthrow their allegedly evil king. They lived far from the players' home city in an ancient redwood forest known for it's sudden and dense fogs. The title was "Guerillas in The Mist Wood".
I had to cancel my game for tomorrow. I've been on a new medication for a month and it completely fries my blood sugar, which leads to depression, anxiety, and anger when it drops too low, which it has. I've stopped taking that medication but it'll be at least a week before I see any signs of improvement (if that was the culprit). The last two weeks have been awful where my depression is concerned, with it hitting the lowest levels it has in over a year. When I came out of "GM retirement" with new ideas, one of the things I set in stone for myself was to not force myself to run games when my head's in a bad space, which I'd done for years. I miss my group and our goofing off together, but I'd probably have strangled Dave if we'd played tomorrow. Anyway, hope you guys are having hoots!
*de-sandwiches* I'm hoping to run my campaign Sunday afternoon. We're going to switch to that time over Saturdays as my two long distance players sometimes pull over into parking lots to sleep on their drive home after sessions.
So, were there prizes? All I did was Clocktower, where I made mistakes constantly. Which is like a prize! Well, I had to play remotely due to a sudden stomach issue, so my door prize was given to Dave LOL. It was a "Rick Roll d20". I'm jealous.
Playing in my friend's game on Saturday. He said there will be door prizes. I'm suspicious lol. What's going on with everyone?
I got drunk and played Uno with coworkers. Time well spent!
The weekend creeps upon us. Who's creepin' with it?
That's fantastic!!
**cackles in support**
No games here this weekend. How about you?
Hello, fellow kids! Nothing going on around here this weekend. I'm ill again (I'm kinda tired of this) so I'll just be taking it easy. And whining.
I had to cancel my game because of a migraine that woke me up around 5 am and I've yet to get any relief from it. Damn it.
I've been so distracted with health-related stuff all week I forgot to check out the new monster!!! I love this!
So, the weekend is approaching. I'm running the third game in my campaign. I'll have a couple of folks joining us who've missed the first two games and one player who has never played a TTRPG in her life (or electronic RPG, for that matter). So it'll be an interesting Saturday night! How about everyone else?
Well, we had the first PC death today. I couldn't stop rolling nat 20s. A tentacled aberration grappled him and proceeded to poison-sting him to death. At least he got to firebomb a naked bugbear before he died... It's the little things...
My inner twelve year old is screaming and falling over helplessly. It's an old joke but I can literally hear this conversation in my head, tinny speakers and static included.
^⨀ᴥ⨀^ congratulations! Your mimics have been refreshed with newly trained picken-ogre doppleganger-mimics for a closer-to-raw experience... ...yay...?
Great news that maybe they've identified a surgery that can help with all of that. Crossing my fingers! Thank you!!
It's been quite a week, what with learning I'm a great candidate for bariatric weight loss surgery (just need to attend a couple of classes and lose seven more pounds), possible finally victorious over the 15 months of recurring UTIs, and pain so bad yesterday and today it's actually making me so angry that I'm avoiding personal interactions to help prevent myself from going off on someone. I've been in pain-med assisted sleep since 5 pm and am up now only long enough to eat something before going back. Time to fall back down.
MY GOD! THAT'S IT! THERE'S NO OTHER EXPLANATION!
No game this weekend, but if all things go right the next three weekends will see me GMing one and playing in two of 'em. How about everyone else? Spring is sprunging all over, so outdoor stuff or game stuff this weekend?
Everybody have fun tonight
I picked up a favorite gaming rule book I own on running gothic horror campaigns today. While perusing it I noticed a shallow six inch long scratch on my right arm bleeding profusely. That's either a sign I should run a gothic horror campaign or just run out of the house screaming.
The results from the biopsy came back great, so no amyloidosis...at least not the two most common types, but we're not going to explore anymore possibilities along those lines. Which means more testing for something else I'm sure. Also, my water heater is leaking from the bottom. I turned off the water going into it, hooked up a hose to the drain spigot and let that run into the bathtub to keep from all 45 gallons leaking into the floor. Crisis semi-averted! No game this weekend, but the next game in my campaign is slated for April 11th. Of the three games being run in my circle, that's the only one on the calendar so far. How about the rest of you lot? Big doings this weekend?
You could try writing Twilight slash-fic? **Slow motion "NNOOOOOOOO!!!"**
No gaming for us this weekend. It's going to be record high temps for March this weekend, too. Yay...? I had a bone marrow biopsy today in my journey to rule out various types of Amyloidosis. It was surprisingly NOT unpleasant. I won't go into how it was done for the sake of anyone who might be squeamish about such things, but it certainly wasn't what I expected!
. Thank you. I am incredibly blessed to have them in my life.
Now there's a turn of phrase I haven't heard in a...I haven't...I haven't heard before. Now I want to use it somehow.
We had a first for this group, an all roleplaying session. Usually my friend runs basically a single combat encounter for five hours, but this was a much loved diversion by everyone. Our players spoke to The Oracle of Itea and gained some very useful knowledge and insight into what lies ahead for us. The session was also dedicated to our dear friend Tamela who passed away in 2023 from ALS. Her most memorable character in all our years of gaming was a Ranger named Diana Brownsparrow, and the Oracle of Itea was a devotee of Diana, Mistress of the Hunt, whose holy animal is a sparrow. It was good night and the host, as always, piled on the food he prepared himself. This time it was smoked chicken, black eyed peas with hog jowl, corn on the cob, and sourdough bread. The next game on the horizon, as of now, will be the next chapter in my campaign, set for sometime in mid-April.
The weekend looms ever closer! Who's doing what this weekend? I'm playing in my buddy's game on Saturday, where the players will finally meet the oracle we've been struggling to get to, who allegedly will impart great wisdom to us. I figure it'll be fart jokes, but that's just me. How about everyone else?
Link. Free account is needed. Dang! I didn't see this! How did it go?
In other news, I received a Dungeons and Dragons "Mad Libs" book. This will be a hoot.
Friday!!! Who's gaming? Who's working? I ain't doin' either one! However, my son's band is opening for the classic rock band Atlanta Rhythm Section tonight so I'm going to see them.
