Ugh. Pink.

I was going to start somewhere else, but the top bar on the page is pink. Ugh. I... dislike Valentine's Day.

That aside, I feel a bit scattered of late.

- I've had Star Wars on my mind to the point of browsing Wookieepedia. Done a little writing. Got caught up on the KotOR comic series. Re-installed Jedi Outcast. Got to play a little more in an online game that's been on hold quite a while - I love my droid character. He's perfect for it. Being a droid, he can be quiet much of the time and fade into the background, yet he's free to make snarky comments for comedy value.
- Playing WoW still. Not great leaps and bounds of progress lately. Sorta think maybe I should take a break for a while. I'd love to see more new stuff from the expansion (the draenei starting quests quite impressed me), but my closest character is at least 10 slow levels from the the new Outland areas.
- Furryfaire is in another state of flux. After months and months, there's finally work going into the new mechanics. Of course, being new, it'll have to undergo revisions when bugs come up, characters will have to be converted... ugh. Honestly, I used to care more than I do now.
- Finished reading Dead Beat. Lasciel, for all her limited appearance, was a perfect reminder of the seductive demon archtype and she's already a favorite character of mine for it. 'course, I still feel great sympathy for Harry, and the books still feel strong after six of them, unlike some series that lose their charm. Been watching the Dresden Files TV series too, and enjoying it in spite of the differences from the books. I went through so many Tenchi Muyo continuities that I've no trouble appreciating the series as a separate entity.
- With all that, I haven't even gotten back to Final Fantasy XII lately. I... feel kinda bad about it. >.>
- Work is still work. Not too difficult most of the time, though the Online Service department is expanding and calling on me in new and annoying ways. This is a newspaper, not an ISP. I'd really rather we not become an ISP. I've never needed to know my way around Linux, therefore I do not know my way around Linux. If you ask me about things I do not understand, I can try to learn, but do not expect me to have answers ready for you. Rawr.

Wishes of a happy day to those who care, and ciao for now.

    *hugs* Cynicism aside, I hope you have a happy day, too! ("holiday" or no) It's good to hear from you - it's been a while. :)

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
