I wanna go to a comic con!

I mean,... erm, Have fun! :)

(Are you at least wearing costumes? Tell me your wearing a costume. Or 3.)
:P

Blayze is back!

And explosively so. :)


I actually bought a DVD collection of Ash vs Evil Dead.
(I love "Army of Darkness", but the first 2 movies I'm 'EH' on. Not a huge horror fan) :P

But YEs! "Whose laughing now?!?!

Fun fact: Evil dead is now "Evil Dead: The Musical", and combines ED 1 & 2 w/ a smidge of Army of Darkness. THAT I like! Even the songs alone are fun. COmbined with the shenanigans on stage, classic!

(As a trained actor/combatant, I have nothing but respect for a guy who can 'fight' his own hand, and throw HIMSELF around on stage, and make it look convincing!) :D


LOL- waitaminute
Focus, ME?!?
SO that means,

We're doomed?
;P

I feel you buddy!

I dont mind life throwing me 'curve balls', occasionally,...
But can life PLEASE stop throwing iron shotputs, aimed at my nether regions?!?!?
>_<


I'll be honest, NOT the reveal I was expecting!

I was expecting a lil more 'jump-scary' type of reveal? Less 'animated Dancing Doll of Death'. ;P

Way to keep the surprises coming Pat!


Curses on ye evil RL work!

KIDS get a pass. (Whether or not they deserve it? Yep.) ;P

I miss my kids being unruly. At least back then they still wanted to spend time with me.
>_<

Happy almost end of weekend all!


CURSES you RL villains!
How DARE you disrupt my fantasy life?!?! ;P

(Are the unruly children at least cute? THAT goes a loooooong way towards making it better!) :)


"So," Karrin says, "There was talk of refreshments? But that was a lie? Just to get our hope up? Oh . . . IT IS SO ON!!"

And THAT is SO Karrin! :D


WOOT!
Well, I JUST discovered this little gem of music,
And since we all know ('WE' the players, not 'we' the PC's) where we are eventually headed, I thought I'd share it!

ENJOY THE MUSIC!


Sleep is both OVER rated, and UNDER appreciated. ;P

BTW, I luv Sergei's 'flavor' explanations of abilities. NIcely done.

:)


That's awesome.

I think I make a much better player than a GM. I've tried, (when I was younger., I'd probably be much better now. MAybe.) :P

FAr as world-building, I can take ideas and run with them. But it;s the coming up with original ideas that stumps me.

Adaptation? Back-story? I can do those.
When my friends were coming up with a paragraph 'backstory', I was writing 2-3 pages of 'story' about the poor PC! ;)

Come to think of it, it was the same back in College, when in shows. We had to come up with backstories for our characters, based on what was in the script, so that at least WE knew where we were coming from as actors/characters. Others were struggling to come up with a paragraph. I was writing a page. Minimum.
(I did a full page when I was the voice of 'Audrey 2-The Plant' in the musical 'Little Shop of Horrors'.) :D

(SO yeah, I have been a Chatty-Kathy and wordy-writer ALL of my life! Why do you ask?) :D


(@DoomedHero)Good for you!

You CAN earn a living in stage production, or as in my case, running an auditorium for a University.
(I'm staff, NON-faculty, so no worries about tenure or grading papers at least.)

But, while it's a living. I didn't say it was a GOOD living. :(

I Might have more degrees?
But clearly YOU had more BRAINS! :D


Oh thank you!
Glad to know that i AM (occasionally) correct! :)

(ALSO glad to hear that you didn't waste nearly as much time and money as I did on that degrees. If I knew THEN what I know NOW, I would have chosen a degree that would have actually earned me money, maybe MINORED in theater, and do what I do for fun instead of TRYING to earn a living at it!) :P


Yeah, I have been told that i REALLY need to go and watch Stranger Things. I was a teen in the 80's. (Graduated HS in 84) So it should be RIGHT up my Nostalgic alley! :)
(It's on my ever-growing list of things to watch. Eventually.)

This story sounds familiar, I found a supplement to AD&D back in Jr High at a game store, (It was the only D&D thing they had I could afford) I had heard of D&D, But I had NO idea what this supplement was. (Turns out it was basically a random monster/treasure generator,) But I read it all, and was hooked. Got my red box set soon after, and the rest is history!
:P

That WAS good! I luv those kinda moments. :)

Fair warning, in case you havent heard or figured it out yet, I AM a trained actor.
(Yep, not 1, or 2, but THREE (3) degrees in Theater! THAT and $5 will get me a cuppa coffee at Starbucks. A Very SMALL cup of coffee) :P

My point is, good fellow actors always bring out the best in those around them. (Especially me). Seems to work that way in PbP too!
:D


Well OK then!
Safe Travels, and Happy Anniversary!! :D


I did not realize there was a TOTAL defense vs fighting defensively action?
(Good to know!) :)

But I did figure that when fighting defensively, you just use whatever your holding (shield, sword, backpack) ;P
to try and block any incoming attacks.

That's how I picture it.

You'd be surprised what I can fend off (IRL) when panic sets in! :P

Not just talking about people. Falling objects, bad lift drivers,... You name it. I've probably dodged or otherwise avoided it! :D

(Ah, the joys of working in large settings, (COnvention Center) with dozens of projects happening all at once, with hundreds of people working on them, not all of which are actually qualified to be there!)
>_<


NOTE that I did NOT Move myself on the map.

Didn't want to mess it up. (Again?) :D


Sterling is more musically RE-clined,... ;P


Sorry! (NOT sorry!) ;P

But I HAD to say it! :D

Sounds like THROUGH Tuesday, actually. (Through the work day at least.)

Well, Congrats again Monkeygod!
Have F.U.N. (all caps!) at renfair! (I'm still jealous) ;P
(And happy birthday! Again!) :)

May your new job be at least MOSTLY all-good and awesomeness.
(I mean, It can't ALWAYS be 'fun and awesomeness' or it wouldn't be called 'WORK', it would be called 'FUNS'!) ;P

Wowsers Monkeygod, I thought I was busy! :)

Most of it SOUNDS pretty good and fun though!
(I hope the new job is a good thing?!?)

Happy early Birthday, and enjoy the Ren fair!
(I am SO jealous!. Havent been to one in ages)


I only lived in Florida for 1 year. And I enjoyed, it.
I lived within a few miles of the most beautiful beach in America, and one of the top 5 in the world,and was only a coupel of hours away from all teh major theme parks.

of course, I would have enjoyed it MUCH more if I had :
1-Been paid enough to actually afford to live there,.
and 2- Had a job that didn't work me like a cross between a slave and a dog (a slave dog?!?) so I had TIME to enjoy any of it! :P

People complain about the weather there, but after being raised in Tulsa OK, (AKA=Tornado Alley) and living for almost 12 years in New Orleans (Hurricane central) Florida was (mostly) pretty tame. :D


Yep. new semester (University) just started a week ago,
STILL playing 'catch up' on all of the calendar and record keeping!

Yeesh. It is gonna be one of THOSE years!
>_<


LOL, I luv and loathe how easy it is to get confused in PbP! :)

@Zek, (Funny, you DID roll 2 rolls, and they both rolled the same! Weird!)
-I believe that Shadow used your stated 'ready an ambush action' & roll, and you one-shot a stirge. So I guess that was your rnd 1 action?

(Sterling tried to imitate you. And did a poor imitation.) ;P


SOunds good
(BTW, I'm BACK!) ;P

I had a 'good' weekend, Fun, but NOT 'restful'. :)

Sterling will dutifully wait til his turn in the Init order,... ;)


Hmmm,... someone better protected, for the short kobold to hide behind?
(I mean To PLAN from behind?!?) ;P

Yep! Go Tragon! :D


LOL< No worries @Zek
Yeah FLA is state-talk shorthand for Florida.
Our insurance all ends for kids when they turn 26. (Which she does. Tomorrow)

Oh she can go herself, but she doesnt trust herself to that long of a drive without friends with her. (She HAS made the trip herself, with friends) And WHY would she do THAT when she can sweet-talk Daddy into a Bday present?!? ;P

Also, I did live in Fla for one year post-katrina, before I returned to Louisiana. I did enjoy living there, (although it IS expensive to live there!) But the wife wanted to return to Louisiana, so,...

(*NOTE- It is 100% true what they say. When you marry a SOUTHERN girl, you can live anywhere in the US you want. As long as it can be reached by a 200-Mile long chain nailed to here parents' front porch!) ;P

And yeah, they do have some oddball things happen in Florida. No argument. But you are watching the wrong shows if you think that is the weirdest things you can ever see.

Try shows about LOUISIANA. We have not only animal -related crazy stuff happen like Fla, (Alligators and such) But we have the CRAZY CRAZIES. They dont ONLY come out at Mardi Gras. That's just when you see specials about them because they congregate more. :)

Just sayin',... ;)


Hello, FYI-

My daughters birthday is this Sat. (She is aging out , she will no longer be covered by my insurance) :(

WHat started out as a joke "Hey, you have a long weekend, and an annual pass to Universal, you could go to FLA for your bday"

"Yeah, but none of my girlfriends can come with me."

Turned into "Can YOU take me?!?" :)

So,... we are taking a run to Fla /Universal for her bday. So she can spend her Bday drinking Butterbeer in Harry Potter world, And eating dinner at Chocolate Emporium. ;P

The things I do for my kids!

(SHORT version, I wont be posting after noon Friday! I'll be back Mon night and pick back up Tue)


LOL<
I did come up with a (typically grandiose) speech-scheme from Justin to start rambling off.
But THEN I remembered, he has NO skill with Bluff, or intimidation, or persuasion.

The ONLY time one of his grand bluffs worked was when he got that Nat 20 in the Morgue.

(If he ever does die, I'm reincarnating him as a Bard!) ;P

So, someone else can step in. ANYTIME now! :)
(Otherwise, you're leaving it up to the overly-chatty wizzie and the Leering Mimir! And you KNOW where THAT leads. Every time.) :D

I mean, immediate options for conversation I can come up with include everything from:

'were here to test the security of the demiplane, can you show us around the tower while we wait for the boss?'
all the way to:
'Do you REALLY like your boss? Cuz if not we can get rid of him for you' ;P

Oh buddy.

Classes JUST started yesterday here at my University.

First week of a new semester is always,... 'an adventure'.

(What? You didn't think I was gonna say 'FUN' did you?!?) ;P

Just very happy TODAY is no longer MONDAY. (Whew!)


IT'S ALIIIIIIIVE!


Lil "Wizard 101" reference for you REAL nerds :)

(Yes, I still occasionally play Wiz101. And Pirate101. They are fun.)


A lot of fun, I agree!

I do luv when everyone makes me work to keep up RP wise. :)
(so thank you all!)


Woot!


Glad your back SS!

And now, back to our show,...


Oh good grief.
Never rains, but it pours, amirite?

Get better soon!


Yay vacation, indeed!

Glad everyone is alright!


safe travels!


Layovers are better than having too short of a time between flights and missing the connection. :)

Have fun!


Heh, True.
Yeah if they'd made a movie about that, it would have been described as one of those "impossible-in-real-life disaster movies". ;P

Art imitates life?
Or
Truth is stranger than fiction?

YOU decide!

(HINT- The answer is "YES"!) :)


OOF!

I hadn't realized that Portland was so close to the Volcano.

I talk smack about dealing with Tornadoes and Hurricanes like it's no big, but I won't lie.
An Earthquake, or worse a volcano + Earthquake, would scares the bejeebus outta me. O_O


Safe travels Malinor!

@Shajnal
Yeah, I'm generally with you, but some folks just dont want to move away from what they've always known.

FOr my wife it's home, and (what's left) of here family is still here. I just recently tried talking to her about moving elsewhere, (Not try to convince her, just exploring options for my eventual retirement) She is NOT interested.

It's a combo of unwillingness to leave (We did leave after katrina, but she made sure we were back in a couple of years to be near her family again) or fear of having no family (kids) to provide support as we get older. (I asked her, 'What makes you think our kids are going to stay here?') ;P
But she is not willing to really consider it. At least not yet.

When I first moved down to New Orleans to get married, I swiftly decided I hated heat more than cold.

My saying is:
"You can always put on more layers if your cold. But you can only remove so many layers if your hot before being arrested for public indecency. And you're still hot."
:)


Ooo, good question!

The one thing about PbP's is I do SO lose track of in-game time.
