(no subject)

I can't believe it's only been three days. It feels like so very much longer. @.@

Friday was long itself. Saturday, I went to the condo, picked up my newspaper, and sat on the floor to read while munching on donut holes as breakfast. I'd been advised to have pizza as my first meal there, but that hardly seemed to fit for the morning. So then it was upstairs to clean the bathroom and recaulk the tub. It's a touch harder than it looks, but I think I did a decent job - certainly better than what was there. This led into a trip off to WalMart and Home Depot to gather various items (a tool kit, trash cans, a new toilet seat, etc.) I was pretty well done working on all that when my parents showed up and showered me with several things (a set of pans, a small crock pot, and a toaster). With my dad's help, the storage unit was cleared out by early afternoon. They took me out to dinner and I made a couple trips to empty my things from the house (save for a couple items), and settled in for the night at the condo.

Sunday wasn't any more restful. I got up, had a similar breakfast, and launched into another day of housework. I bought a new desk and spent quite a while putting that together, then started carrying boxes up to my room and figuring out where to put things. Oy. I need more shelves or something. But, by the end of the day, most of my possessions are in my room, unplacked, and in their 'proper' places. It's almost like home.

And today it's back to work... at the Herald. The morning has been slow thusfar and that's a nice break from busting my tail all weekend. Of course, there's more I need to do yet. The phone issue will have to be resolved. The dishwasher still needs replacing. I'd like to replace the refridgerator too, actually, but I don't think I want that enough to pay what it would cost just now. Ah well.

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
