(WoW) Quick Remark

I've only seen a few tier 13 armor previews. I haven't seen the paladin set yet. It wouldn't really work thematically for any of my characters, but still:

I'm totally jealous of the mages' Timelord Regalia.

I'm a sucker for animation in armor and those goggles, moving gears, and the steampunk look is hawt.

    Goggles are to be worn down, not up. I am miffed.

    Maaaaybe. And I'd probably be fine with that. Better still if they can incorporate some actual paladin symbology into it. I suppose we'll never have modeled tomes, but I really want armor that both looks good and saying paladin to the point of being recognizable to someone who doesn't even know the game. I mean, the Judgement set was one of the most distinctive, memorable and (probably) popular paladin sets, but even that... if you showed it to a non-WoW player, would they think "oh, that's a paladin set" or look at the heavy use of black, swords on the shoulders, and mask to conclude "probably rogue or something?"

    Rogue? Nah. http://www.wowpedia.org/File:Judgement_Concept.jpg?c=1 I totally see holy inquisitor or battle cleric. Too much white and skirts and little insignias for religious iconography. Rogues are all about tight leathers, billowy cloaks and daggers everywhere. That or swashbucklers.

    Eh.. mmm.. maybe. No idea where I could find fresh eyes to ask for a real, unbiased opinion. ;) Mind you, do I like the Judgement set and feel it works well in spite of my minor complaints about it. And if tier 13 is based on Guardian of Ancient Kings? I'll probably be satisfied as long as they spruce it up a little (the armor is actually a bit monochromatic when you look at it). A little bit better spread of color, a little more detail, maybe an order hammer symbol or something... ... but if they actually give paladins glowy wings, I'd forgive almost anything else!

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
