I've got the feeling that I'll be extremely busy for a while. On the order of eleven hours a day, every day busy. One of my fellow guards quit, and the other may or may not show. I may not post as much as I used to. So forgive me for the delays in postings.
Its okay john, we'll wait around for you.

Hey, Cap! You played S&S too, right? Have you got a Campaign Journal? If you do I'd like to check.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I GM it, yes.
I'm not a good writer, so no campaign journal, sorry!

I'm not either, but that doesn't keep me from doing it xD
It's easier when you are not a native speaker because you can say: I am an awesome writer, but I keep writing crap because English is sooooo difficult xD
When you posted on the thread where they were asking about Isabella I thought about it and that's why I am asking. I like comparing my experience with other people's and I was curious.

Everything I learned about writing, I learned on here.
Just keep at it and don't be afraid to ask for advice or a critique (which is the extent of my advice).

You should see what happened to Joss Whedon in this dimension after he had Captain America die tragically just as he was about to catch Iron Man when he fell from the sky at the end of The Avengers.

Cavalry? Those weird guys that ride on their food and charge artillery?

So...
"NobodysHome, why do you go with a big-name company like State Farm instead of going with cheaper insurance?"
"Hi! This is State Farm! How can I help you?"
"Hi! It's NobodysHome, and I have a couple of questions! My property manager wants to be on my insurance policy. Is that normal, and what do I have to do?"
"Yes, it's completely normal! Just give us their address."
"OK! You're all set! You don't need to do anything else! We'll contact the property management company and let them know. Is there anything else you needed?"
So on the one hand, I'm probably spending maybe $500 more per year than I absolutely have to on homeowner's insurance.
On the other hand... TWO RINGS and I spoke directly to someone with the power to take care of everything on my behalf. And she knew who I was, knew my insurance details, and took care of everything in under 60 seconds flat.
Considering where I work. competence is worth a LOT to me...

So, I started watching Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon, relatively reluctantly* but feeling compelled nonetheless** and... it's surprisingly sweet. I really like the protagonist. I like the people around.
Though there has been, like, a single moment of fan service so far (in four episodes), it really isn't out-of-character (considering she's explicitly trying to get his attention in that manner, which is consistent with her characterization).
The number of women that deeply care about the kid is... quirky and anime-tropey, but, simultaneously, I also like their characters, and find most of their reasons for (most of) them to do so to make sense. I also suspect something at play other than just anime tropes, based on his one skill***...
Anyway, based off of four episodes, it's solid, and surprisingly tender.

It was good! It didn't really "end" so much as, "Well that was that adventure." but it was a solid story, for what it was. There were... several moments... or maybe entire episodes... of fan service. >.<

Some of it was kind of legitimate. Some... notsomuch. ANYway, I still really liked the characters and their personalities, over-all!
Finally got my tablet to where I can make a post. Good afternoon, everyone.
'Afternoon!

MRE - Meal, Ready to Eat. Also known as "Meals Rejected by Everybody." I had plenty of those. My favorites were the Beef Patty and Gravy and the Spaghetti. Had a bad experience with the thermostabilized cartons of Milk. Had a Chocolate Milk once that actually became Yogurt. *blegh*
Have you seen Skippy's List, aka The 213 Things I am no longer allowed to do in the US Army?

So in totally random, "I finished 23 minutes early and now I have to sit around with my computer on in case something comes in" nonsense...
I finished watching the first 8 episodes of "Legion".
And while the first 2-3 episodes were an absolute marvel of exploring the nature of insanity, making you constantly wonder what was real and what wasn't and thoroughly enjoying the battle to fight for your own sanity, I felt it went steeply downhill from there.
I think it was episode 5 where it really finally seemed like the plot was going to start rolling along, only to deteriorate into another full hour of explorations of insanity. 2-3 episodes? You had my attention. By episode 5, I'd really like to see other things happening, thanks...
And then there's the whole...
I hated it. The monstrous invader, the Astral plane nonsense, the lost traveler? It was all hopeless BS to me, and I was hard-pressed to finish off the series.
So yet another issue of, "Loved the beginning, hated the end."

it was all legitimate to Freehold. Great series. Can you guess who my favorite character is?
Hestia. (Possible alt: Dyonisus.)
If it is anything else, I am going to be quite surprised.

I will say, based on what I'm hearing, this is all solidly "Comic book material" so far, though altered, for sure.
David Haller was always one of my favorite mutants, but he was always nutso purely due to his own power (and the fact that, unlike most people, he didn't have any filters or limiters - kind of like the super-powered version of sensory overload autism, except, instead of just being stimulated by the environment, he is stimulated by living and channeling literally everyone on the planet at the same time. All of this morass of information overload - actually literally living out lifetimes of others, simultaneously - meant that he underwent not only every good thing or neutral thing, but also every trauma, every abuse, and every bad thing any living person did to another living person (it was unclear to me if animals were involved or various non-living or life-like entities were). Eventually, he learned how to deal with this: by developing and maintaining a form of purposeful disociative identity disorder that roughly categorized everyone in the world into one of three main groups.
I don't recall if he was always that way, or it was part of some trauma, or developed at puberty - it's been much too long.
Any way, he was interesting, and I always wanted him to be a hero.
(Look, I enjoyed Nate Grey for a reason...)
That said,
