iirc, she was supposed to be far worse in me1- i read her as less of a bigot and more legitimately ignorant/war brat. She is much better in me3.I let them kill Ashley off because she was a bigot.My friend and bandmate is getting married on Saturday. Me, I'm just waiting for the right Shadow Broker to come along.I literally cannot play mass effect and NOT start a relationship with liara. I tried. It is impossible.
I also choose Ashley every time. Because my GOD, what's-his-face(I have intentionally forgotten his name) is an embarrassment and should turn his manhood in at the start of the game.
Too late. Already dead.

If I can get George Takei to officate the marriage ceremony for CH and John, I think that will get me out of having to buy a gift.

First day of SDCC is done. Mattel's store line was madness, couldn't even get in to try and pick up the exclusives. Dealer hall is a mass of swirling chaos. Got to check out Geek Chic's booth and talk to the owner, picked up Barbarossa from Japanime Games before heading out to the NXT panel. Ended the day with a demo of Tanto Cuore and Barbarossa before horrible Chinese food on the way back to the hotel. Tomorrow, the zoo!

Up at 4 this morning because the carnitas have been simmering gently all night and now smell amazing!
I'm apartment- and dog-sitting for vacationing friends, so I invited my housemates over for dinner tonight. I miss them. Wish they could bring my puppies, too. It's nice staying at somebody else's house. We can really trash this place.
Menu (all homemade):
Carnitas with sauteed onions and peppers with flour tortillas
Spanish rice
Refried beans
Sour cream, avocado, fresh veggies on the side for nibbling/garnish
I hope they take me seriously and bring sangria, because I don't have to drive.
Dessert:
I found a Cold Stone Creamery nearby and am considering one of their mini-cakes. Nom.
I work out and weigh in at the gym at noon today, so dinner will be a free-for-all. Woo!
So my best client will be travelling for 3 weeks and won't have any work for me. It's like an unwelcome, unpaid vacation. I need to figure out how to make some money those weeks. :(
Damn. I'm sorry.

So I have been running two PbPs here for awhile and I've realized something based on how well they have been going, The one where the story is my own and more free form is doing great and the one where I'm running an AP isn't doing so well, I am just not good at running APs and making them interesting, the script for what happens is just too tight even when I add in lotsa extras and complications.
The AP is the first I've run and I've realized while I like playing APs they are just not my GMing style for running a story, which usually has an overarching story but how that story plays out is much more based on the player's free will then moving from set piece to set piece(except for the beginning sometimes as I paint the game world for the players so they understand it well enough to make informed decisions).
Oh well, live and learn.
Which AP are you running, just curious:-)
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I'm GMing Way of the Wicked currently.
Nice! My brother is running it off and on, I tried it in the beginning, I wasn't to impressed honestly, but then I have a hard time playing evil characters, they always act more like cartoon villains then actually evil, which works for having kids at the table but if you're trying to strike more of a Lord of the Rings serious type tone it can get tiresome I'm sure so I dropped out, his group tho is pretty much standing room only (10 pcs!) With a wait list (tho he is a great GM)

Oh oh ask George Takei to say "Oh my!" Then you'll be able to brag about George Takei punching you in the face while Nichelle Nichols held your arms, not until after you ask about the wedding tho:-)

I hope I haven't missed too much while I've been away.
I've been prepping for a local convention where I'll be overseeing the PFS tables (not a whole lot, but better than last year's turnout) along with GMing a couple of games (this area has been blessed with a larger percentage than normal of people who want/like to GM). I've also been finishing up a freelance assignment, which has been a lot of fun but time consuming. Plus, the usual wackiness at the day job.
I will still have a new monster for you all in about 40 minutes. :)

I just saw dame nichols!
She was smiling but tired. I am unsure if she would be up to my level or crazy, so I didn't go over to her. I will check money stores and see if a photo with her or a professional one with mr. Takei is in the cards.
Right now I am at the antipode panel to lean about geeky belly dancing!

Please remember to dial your Black Manliness down to a mere "Devastingly Handsome & Charming" setting (2 or 3 out of 11). Dame Nichols is legendary and an icon, but even she is a mere mortal woman and not immune to your charms.

In 1939, a group of English mountaineers set out from Aliabad on an expedition to climb the feared and deadly mountain K2. The leader of the expedition, Sir Terrence Carlisle, was inexperienced, and had recently purchased for himself a brand new set of gear-- ice axes, pitons, crampons, boots, rope, etc. His colleagues in the Royal Geographical Society had warned against using untested equipment, but the young Sir Terrence was adamant.
Starting from the South Face, the party began to climb the icy peak. Master climber Damian Callaghan led the party, followed by Lieutenant Charles Walpole of the Royal Marines, Sherpas Ang Nyi-Ma, Ki-lu Pemba, and Jangmu Gyatso, with Ser Terrence bringing up the rear. As Sir Terrence began to climb, he found himself unable to gain purchase with his ice axe. He struggled in vain to climb higher, as his companions grew more and more distant, deaf to his cries due to the howling winds.
Eventually, Sir Terrence grew tired, sat down with his back against the ice cliff, and slowly froze to death. As the rest of the expedition began to make camp for the night, Callaghan realized that the expedition's leader was nowhere to be found. He announced to the party that, with darkness quickly falling, they would camp for the night, and search for Sir Terrence in the morning.
Day broke, and the five remaining expedition members slowly began to climb back down the mountain, calling out for Sir Terrence. Near midday, Lt. Walpole and Gyatso discovered the body of Sir Terrence Carlisle, still clutching his rope, pitons, and ice axe. Walpole called to Callaghan, and the two men stood over their leader's body shaking their heads.
Callaghan reached down, dusted the snow off of Sir Terrence's body, and pried the ice axe out of the dead man's frozen fingers. Sighing in desolation and exhaustion, Callaghan examined the implement, then handed it Lt. Walpole, staring off into the distance. Finally, after a long silence, Callaghan turned to Walpole, speaking in a low, soft voice.
"After all of our preparation, all of our hard work and sacrifice, the whole expedition came down to an anti-climb axe."

Don't feel bad... I could fight at the national collegiate level (tae kwon do). I was the superstar of my aerobics class.
But moving my feet with anything resembling grace? Beyond all my efforts. There's just something about it beyond my body's capabilities. I suspect some of us just aren't "wired" for it...
...kind of like me and art. I *want* to draw well, and I've spent many hours trying, but kindergartners put me to shame...

Just heard "Hey Jealousy" by the Gin Blossoms playing on the local classic rock station. My first thought was, "hey, that song isn't that old, I remember it being on the radio when I was a kid." And then I realized that I'm closer to 30 than 20, and in music terms, that's considered "classic." Made myself sad.

Duuuuude... some people here consider "closer to 30 than 20" to be "the good old days."
Cue Darth Vader voice: "David... I'm old enough to be your father, David..."

My lack of dancing skills has led some to suspect I may be a closet heterosexual.
That's ridiculous, besides, how can someone mistake a man who wears angel wings with being straight?

Oh, I'm fully aware. On the other hand, they say that time goes faster as you get older, so I'll be 40 before I know it.

I was working with this one kid a few years ago and I said something to my friend Jeff about seeing Pearl Jam at Lollapalooza in 93 and the poor kid says "um, dude I was 3 years old then"
Almost told the ungrateful little cuss to get off my lawn, then I realized that would cut into Matlock and my hard boiled eggs and prunes weren't gonna eat themselves...

14 in '93. My main memory is going on a soccer tournament in Örebro (and actually scoring a goal!).
