Quick Updates For Some Reason

Let's see...

Weekend was okay, if too short. WoW had probably more a turnout than I was expecting since the raid was semi-officially called off. With 5-6 people, we ended up doing 8/13 hard-modes achievements for Ulduar. Flame Leviathan was probably the hardest because the vehicles don't scale up that well and with so few people it's hard to man all the necessary positions, but we pulled that off after a few tries. GW actually had a third person on for the first time in a while, and we got another mission out of the way. More time spent on SWTOR, and I think everything I've said still holds true for my experience. Coming up on one month and my agent is level 44, with a second character (a trooper played with someone else) is about 11.

It snowed pretty good over last night and this morning. This is the sort of storm I don't mind, though. Even if I was clearing 5-6 inches of new snow out of my way, things cleared up and the plowed streets weren't much more than wet this afternoon.

This is a night-work week, but it's also training for the new circulation system. Whee. So I'm probably going to need to be at the office 9-5 Tuesday through Thursday and... I don't know. How much I work those evenings will depend on how things go, but it's one of those weeks where overtime is not unlikely and my usual sleep schedule isn't going to work. I'm a little annoyed that this puts a few other major projects on hold for the week, but what can you do?

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
