(WoW) Update

No Saturday raid. We're fairly close to having ten people in the guild at max level (actually, it looks like 12 characters are), but when some of them can't queue for random heroics yet, I suspect we'd be squished in raids. That's okay. I'm ultimately more concerned about the usual when it comes time: getting ten people together, including 2-3 playing healers.So, general recap time.


I've only leveled one character to 90, though I've capped primary professions with a second character and I'm close with a third. There's a limit to what I can do with them due to the use of spirits of harmony in some recipes and several patterns requiring rep with new factions.

Most of my time in-game has been spent on dailies recently. I've made revered with Klaxxi and Golden Lotus, and exalted with Tillers. That unlocks some valor point gear (I plan to pick up pants in the next few days) and all 16 farm plots (usually devoted to songbells/motes of harmony).

I've hit my second major bug. The first was an inability to target/interact with the occasional mob or item, which seems to be fixed now. This is a bug that prevents completion of a quest unlocked at revered with Golden Lotus which, in turn, causes a phasing issue that seems to foul up any dailies that happen to occur in the Muo-Lai Halls. So in addition to being unable to finish the small quest chain itself, I've missed out on two days of the Golden Lotus daily finisher quest with its additional reward box.

Last night, I was tired of daily quests, so futzed around with some other things, gathering the pieces necessary to summon a mob that drops Lobstmourne. I also hunkered down and killed a 16-million health clam in what was possibly the longest, most dull fight ever as it summoned possibly-dangerous adds at every 10% health lost - not a real threat in tank mode, but loooong.

I have enough materials together to craft up epic hands to go with the breastplate I made. I haven't been a part of a world boss kill, so no interesting drops there. I haven't run much in the way of heroic dungeons (which is where I'd be finding upgrades currently). I've either been too tired/distracted to focus on a dungeon run, or I've been helping less-geared characters in normal modes.

    Oh sure, you went and killed that clam ;)

    Well, I recalled you mentioning trouble with the adds, so when I saw it (while hunting one of the lobster guys), I said "huh, well let's just see how this goes." Just under 35 gold and a minor vanity item were probably not worth the time involved, honestly. >.>

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
