Redwolf's Journal (continued)

 Godbound Group communication/expectation issues aside, I still need to figure out what to do with my character. An oddity in the game means you can't level-up without spending Dominion in addition to accumulating XP. Dominion is... a measure of ability to influence the world, I suppose you could say. It makes sense with the game conceit that PCs are growing divinities - they have an ability to shape the world and doing so strengthens them. Spending Dominion to benefit followers or territories seems like the most straightforward and obvious use. But when your character is intended to become a more behind-the-scenes power, things are a little more tricky. Plus, it's far too early at this stage to know who she wants to support - the PCs haven't had much change to distinguish themselves and they really haven't found any territory to claim (save, perhaps, the airship wreck they're exploring, but it would apparently take more than dumping present quantities of Dominion i

 So I scrambled to make a Godbound character back at the end of January and upon finishing, had to wait a few weeks for the actual campaign. Since thing, I think we've managed... three sessions as of last night? Not a very high rate for a "weekly" game, but life happens. I was asked last night if I was feeling better about the game and the answer is... not really? A lot of little thing still take me out. The inconsistent schedule is one. Things like closing out the previous session with a pose about going to scout where an attack came from and coming into that session with said scouting apparently assumed done and having turned up nothing, even though no direct response to me was made to that effect. And with the "feel" of things the last few sessions, I did wonder if I was missing something. So I was perhaps both enlightened and a little put out when it was suggested I join the voice channel even if only to listen. My understanding was the game would be non-voi

Kind of an interesting one that I want to get down... I was Watson to Holmes in some sort of organization that dealt with supernatural investigations in London(?). We were in a museum, perusing displays of a vast array of historic objects that had some sort of power, as well as a Friday the 13th /Monkey's Paw-ish curse. Maybe that's just that particular room rather than the entire museum, but none of them were extremely powerful and threatening, though enough to keep contained rather than let people use them. We met with another pair from the organization - another investigator and his assistant/apprentice. They were there to view a particular relic that I had, but turned over to a display for inspection with reluctance. It was a gnarled cluster of tree roots that formed a sort of sword handle and rough guard. Atop it there was a red spherical crystal/gem where a blade would be and I pictured it projecting an energy blade (more in the vein of Tenchi Muyo 's Ryoko than a lig

 Mmm. I woke this morning from a dream... I was riding in a car with both one of my best friends and one of the people I like least from those I know in online circles. My friend was driving, taking me to school in some form, though where we were driving looked more like a series of roads between mountainous woodland campgrounds - smaller roads between large forested areas. Something happened and I kind of blew up at them both, storming off on foot alone, even though I knew this would screw with getting to school (on time or at all, I'm not sure). No idea what to make of that, though I can say I woke feeling some degree of upset/unhappy. Not the best start to a day.
