Re: Happy New Year!

So I thought I'd share that I stopped by RPOL for the first time in forever, got to reading a few threads, and four hours later it was 2:30 a.m.

So I'm tired, lol.

Hope that you all are making it through (what I hope is) the back part of COVID all right.  And thank you again for creating such awesome characters.  I seem to get sucked in every time!

Re: Happy New Year!

Hey Kellan!  Things are going fairly well.  No one really got sick except my 93-year-old grandfather, and he actually seems to be making it through okay.

If anyone is looking for a RP fix, "The Legend of Vox Machina" on Prime is pretty good (albeit a bit more gory and profane than I generally prefer).

But yeah, I was thinking that this August will be nine years since we kicked everything off at the Swallowtail Festival.  Crazy!

Re: Happy New Year!

Glad to see you guys still around.  Always nice to see you pop in.  I've been in a couple of games with Liseth.  Lately she's gone silent, though.  Concerning.  Not like her.

Happy birthday, BTW.  Raconteur.  Albeit last month.

Re: Happy New Year!

Thanks Pisca!  Much appreciated.  :)  I went to Disneyland.

That IS disturbing to hear about Liseth.  Maybe I'll send her an rMail to check in.

Have your games been fun?

Re: Happy New Year!

I think she'd enjoy hearing from you.

As to the games, yeah.  Pretty much.  I'm learning 5E.  Mostly roleplay.  I've tried to ween myself off the rules.

Re: Happy New Year!

Hope springs eternal!  :D  The roleplay was always the best part anyway.  :)

I sent Liseth an rMail, so hopefully she logs on at some point and sees it.

How is the theater scene up where you are?  Recovering at all?

Re: Happy New Year!

Not bad, ttytt.  When the pandemic first hit we had to cancel a musical that was a week or two from going on stage.  That was hard.  Then we spent a year dark.  We had board meetings via Zoom.

But, we tried a couple of creative things to stay in touch with the community.  2020 we came up with the idea to put on some reader's theater events using old radio show scripts.  No royalties.  Very low cost.  We built the stage in our parking lot.  We got an okay from the county board of health.  And we offered this for free.  Several weekends.  Each weekend a different set of shows.  Bring your own chairs.  A summer event.

Summer of 2021 we expanded the idea by opening things up to any kind of royalty free works our pool of directors wanted to explore.  And we were able to move things inside.  This was pre-Delta.

Now, for our 2021-2022 season we've been able to put up two regular season shows with a third just beginning production.  The second show got hit with the Omicron wave, and they had a rocky time of things rehearsing around the quarantine periods of some of their cast, but they put the show up, and it's relatively well attended.

Audiences are not what they were pre-pandemic.  We're extremely happy if we get a half house of roughly 100 people.  Understandable.  And, we've made a significant change in going from assigned seating to festival seating.  So, if a patron isn't comfortable sitting next to another patron - who will not, for example, wear their mask properly - then they can now move.

Re: Happy New Year!

I hope she's okay.

I'm glad to hear your theater company seems to be pulling through, Pisca.  I was a bit worried that the virus might herald the end of live theater as we knew it.  If only because so many companies were really up against it.

Re: Happy New Year!

I feel so extremely awkward after having vanished from RPoL for so long.  But I am okay; better than I was for sure, thank you everyone.  It's nice to come back and see that I was missed.

Sorry that you were concerned though.

Liseth!!!  Hey.  Long time.  You are most decidedly missed.  Do not doubt that.

Re: Happy New Year!

I don't think a group of people can spend as much time together as we did here and not feel close to each other.  Thanks Pisca, it's good to hear from you too.

I'm doing better than I've been Kellan.  My dog died last year but now I have a new 75 pound puppy.  Life continues.

Re: Happy New Year!

It's so good to see you back, Liseth!  And I'm glad you made it through that rough patch.

I have to say that I come back every so often and read through parts of our adventure together. But I have to be careful when I do because WHENEVER it happens I always look up and it's been HOURS.  It was so great to have created this with you guys--it makes me happy to read.  :)

Re: Happy New Year!

Also my son is graduating from high school and heading off to major in . . . musical theater!  So you'll have some company in that space, Pisca.

He also wrote and composed a musical that his high school produced, which is pretty awesome.  :)

He was . . . 8 when we started this thing.  Crazy to think that the 10-year anniversary of RotR is coming up here in a couple of months.

Re: Happy New Year!

That's incredible.  Great to hear from everyone.  Your birthdays come up on my calendar, and I think of you guys every year.

Tell your son to break one, Racon.  There's nothing like doing what you love for a living.

Re: Happy New Year!

I love when I log in there's always a few new posts in the OOC.

I remember making a post to you guys when were in the hospital with our twins about to be born.  And they're going to be turning 10 this year!
