Another day, another something to say

Hmm... feeling a little better today, though I can tell my mood's going to be topsy turvy for a while.

Another viewing or two tomorrow. I have little hope for the condo we're off to see - the one I didn't make it into Saturday. The entire complex is too... college student-y for my tastes, but I'm still going to have a look. The other possibility at the moment is a mobile home.

Now... I don't really care for mobile homes as a general rule. They're getting better as time goes on, but they just don't compare to a nice, solid house in my mind. But I'm looking anyway. Why? Well, it's a 3BD/2BA with more square footage than any place I've looked at yet that's closer to the center of town and cheap enough I wouldn't have to take out a loan at all. Location and access to city utilities is a little more important to me than traditional, sturdy construction - how much more important remains to be seen, I still have standards. If that looks like the way to go (and if it's not already sold, and if... well, you get the idea), then things are a little different. The mobile is likely to lose rather than gain value over time. And I'd be paying some sort of rent for the space in the park. So that takes away some of the advantages of buying in the first place. But, unless the fees are obscene, I could probably move in there with no change in lifestyle, and that's a huge plus. So, depending on quality, availability, and miscellaneous fees, that could be the way to go.

Still too many variables to count on anything yet. I'll have more to think about tomorrow afternoon, though.

Adventures in Rokugan (ongoing)

 So, yeah, I'm terrible at keeping up with between-session conversations and all the piles of possible channels/servers in Discord - especially when work gives me some time to think, but not Discord access. I believe a question was posed about thoughts on the state and future of the Adventures in Rokugan game, though, so here goes... In general, I'm enjoying the time and look forward to it more than feel burdened by it. The start time is a little earlier than ideal, but I don't mind making it work on Saturdays. So, net positive overall. I'm a touch "meh" on the mechanics of AiR. I like the familiarity of D&D, but the Rokugan-specific stuff doesn't feel very rewarding. Granted, this may just be my pick of a shadow acolyte, but I feel like I'm getting more functional mileage out of the sharpshooter feat than all of the special class abilities and level-ups haven't been particularly exciting. I've been tempted to multi-class into something els

Harbinger of Chaos (Godbound)

 Last night seemed to be the climactic finale of the ongoing Godbound game. I have some thoughts. The previous session ended with a couple PCs and a shadowy person in the special chamber with access to divine realms and their vacated thrones (in the campaign, the gods were sorta kicked out of their positions, making things up for grabs). Once PC had already claimed a throne. All the others were waiting outside. At the moment the session ended, no one seemed aware that the shadowy figure was Beryn, big-bad threat of the campaign. This is where I feel weird about things, because that little detail came up OOC and it changed everything. If the PCs had been aware at the time, they probably would have started a fight outside the chamber when they saw him. That didn't happen. But suddenly because the players were aware, they wanted to be able to plan before the conflict (with downtime glossed over previous) so they could go into the next session guns-blazing and as prepared as possible.

RPG Desires?

 So I was asked last night what I actually want in an RPG game/campaign. I came up with a few points, but that's a question I find hard to answer on the spot. It's easy to point at things in an ongoing game that I don't like, and a little harder to point at things I do (darn negative-focused psychology), but making generalizations is more difficult still. It does, however, give me something to focus a little on and ramble about for a time... Story I like a narrative through line - not usually to the point of "railroading," but I want more connective tissue than just returning to a job board after each mission. Sometimes that develops as things go, with character goals shaping things. Setting an end goal at the outset ("defeat the demon lord!") can have ups and downs. However it comes about, I really like to feel there is some forward momentum toward something, though. Consistency This one gets sub-points!  As far as setting, I sort of stopped using the t
