Old Republic Watch

I know it's pre-rendered CG, a cut-scene at best, but dayumn.

    Dang, looks like some Jedi are getting jacked there. This could be an MMO I'd try.

    Yeah. Of course, I'm skeptical, too. They've been playing up the whole 'strong storyline personalized based on the character you choose' thing (and apparently there are claims of how it will be the first 'all voiced' MMORPG). That sounds awesome, but in my experience and theorizing, it seems like strong story and interactivity are mutually exclusive in these sorts of games. Now, I've seen how I can be proven wrong in that with the phasing introduced in Wrath, but even then you have problems of being unable to do certain things with people who aren't in the same phase. So... I'm excited at the possibility, but I have yet to comprehend how they're actually going to fill all their growing promises. We'll see in a few years, I guess. ;)

    Well, it -IS- the fall of Coruscant to the Sith, the good guys gotta lose.. at least at first.

    Alas, I'm gonna roll a bounty hunter. Maybe after a while a Light-Side toon of some sort, but for now my love is for the gal with the gadgets. And jet-backpack. And flamethrower.

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. ...

Scattered Things

It's definitely odd to see so many retail and office spaces closed downtown. Wrrf. Even businesses that are open are going to be suffering from all this. About the only places I can think of that aren't going to take a major downturn in revenue may be shipping and grocery stores - and that assumes they aren't directly  hit by infection issues. Steven Universe came to a full end this last week. Appropriately enough for a series that dealt heavily with relationships, identity, and helping people work through their problems, the final arc leaned heavily into Steven himself needing to find his way. It felt a little too simple for me, though. I feel like it may be unfair of me to say, considering this is a series in which many things span beyond the 15 (10?)-minute episode run time. Many issues have been resolved quicker than they probably "should" have been. I'm not sure if maybe it's just because it feels close to home, but shining a light on Steven's ...
