Well okay then...

My parents are getting that house after all. They made an offer and it was accepted. The closing date is th 29th.

So... What sort of deadline this places on me is a little more vague. They may have things they want to do there before starting to move. They definitely want to do things to the house here before selling it, though we're talking things that require me to be out of the way to some extent. Heh. NOW they're going to finish the upstairs as a real bedroom.

No, I'm not actually bitter about it. It means I really have to start the process ASAP. Probably the pressure will help me DO something. It is a bit stressful, though, to go from 'probably having to move sometime in the next 6-18 months' to 'any day now would be a good idea' in the space of about a week. They're offering help, and I'm reluctant to take it. I want, maybe even need, to do as much as I can on my own.

We'll see how this goes. That part of my mind that's so very good at taking a step back and calmly surveying situations is curious to see where I'll stand a week from now.

    Ack! Good luck with that. Have you talked to Nina at all about moving in with you if possible? I mean, this is really, really a sudden change for you. I wish you the best of luck, though. *hugs*

    That would be the idea. Ideal situation: I find and afford a decent two-bedroom place (probably a condo) and rent the second room to Nina. I think we could actually live with each other and it would help with costs. Whether or not that happens becomes largely based on the financial side of things.

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
