Heh, glad my exestential Wookiee moment amused.

Now poor 'Rags continues to pontificate the finer points of Wookiee honor - while going to check out the dinged-up returning ship with youse guys, of course! :D

Well, THAT should certainly give a lot of people food for thought...*grin*

Now, we just hope it's the right people and they don't get indigestion from it...

I return!

...sober!

Don't come back til you're drunk, next time! :D

My availability between now and Sunday night will be questionable...we're starting dress rehearsals for our Halloween shows at work, with opening weekend coming up at the end of this week.  Depending on how things go, my participation may be no different...but I could find my time-demands far more pressing than they've been all summer.  Once we're opened, however, things should settle down a fair bit.

I have such envy for the time you get to spend in and around the theatre. I know it's work and it's probable hard and energy consuming, but I love the stage. Had things in my life fallen a different way I could very well have spent my life in the theatre.

So break a leg, and all that good stuff.

:)

Good luck!

Have you been watching V For Vendetta or something, Shard?  That post was an astounding array of alliteration...;)

^_^  I try.

I'm very trying.

Alliteration is awesome. Always.

Also, assonance.

My next post will feature vast amounts of onomatopoeia....

I'm thinking of a little synecdoche.

Ooo, niiiiice.

Apologies for the lack of a post recently, things have been a little hectic.  Am hoping to get something done today, but can't guarantee it I'm afraid.

No problems from me...I can certainly sympathize with the 'rather hectic lately' situation...opened our Halloween season shows at the park two weekends ago, working on costumes for a male burlesque troupe that has a show this weekend, and then working on costumes for a female troupe that has a show two weeks after that.  I really kinda want October to be over, and it's only just started...

Having some minor medical issues, so I haven't been posting myself.  Should be cleared up.

You sound busy, Rhijans!

I feel like I've done more work, for less money, this year...years like this are what burn people out on theatre careers.

I remember a couple I knew who met at the theatre. He made back-drops and she was in costumes, I think. And on their five year anniversary they estimated that they'd spent only '2 years together' in terms of how much time normal people get to spend together.

So they both quit and found 'real' jobs.

So I feel for you.

Unrelated, that last few posts were really nice. I always like the way Rhijans sneaks in tidbits of his general world-view into even neutral posts, like the comment about fighting the fire himself. It's nifty.

I also like the way Shard's taken to calling her lightsaber the Murder Stick. Makes me smile every time.

Rather good posting all round, actually.  :)

I think everyone does quite well in this game!  :)

Shard isn't terribly fond of Jedi and their trappings, you might have noticed.

Apologies for my tardiness - Canadian Thanksgiving over the weekend, was rather busy!

So, to combine efforts with Rhijans, I need to make a command roll.

I don't have firefighting skillz.
I don't have Command.

One problem with these games is that it literally takes years to work a character up to a level of reasonable competence.  :)  Forget about heroics!

Actually you do have Command.  It's one of the skills you have under Perception.

And nobody has firefighting skillz - that's why I'm winging it with Perception or Technical.  :)

It's true. And it also has the inverse problem that, once you hot a certain point with a given skill, you can do almost anything easily. Especially Jedi.

I love WEG, but the system can be hard to manage long term.

Sorry - to be more clear, I don't have any points in Command.  So when very basic skill difficulties (ie - get Rhijans and I to work together competently) are 10-15, and I have 3d+1, it feels like I don't have Command.  ^_^

Not to worry - I'm resigned to being forever horrible at arranging people working together, investigation, running, survival, searching, literally anything technical or mechanical, etc.  I just find it amusing that for a lot of game systems, 'Level One/beginning character' means 'Wow, do you stink at everything!'  :)
