So an update on my condition. So far from what I can read from the reports that they posted on my charts there is some sorta cyst messing up the flow of fluid in my sinuses. There is also fluid in and around the frontal lobe near the eyes. Likely both related.

Anyway, post incoming since this is the first day I've felt up to doing one and not had a throbbing full feeling in my head! :)

@Yal- Is your vision affected?

Thankfully no. That said I've had twitchiness around my eye and pain in the temple region.

That's good to hear that there's no vision loss.  And a cyst can be removed, I would hope, and you'll be back to normal?  Best of luck!

Glad to have you back, Yala!


@Yarr: Last call for this rounds actions or I'll just have you attack again...

Pick a door! Any door!

We'd better not lose Alak after all of this!

...then room "T" please!

(c'mon, don't be a goat...)

Effing Hellknight.  You KNOW he's going to turn on us.  Also, he's got a lot of good loot.

As in now's the time to take him? ;-)

I thought he'd turn on us before this, now I'm thinking he's probably just out for himself.

Sorry for my silence. I saw the neurologist this past Tuesday and they hit me with the good news bad news routine.

So basically they confirmed that I do indeed have fluid behind my eyes, and along my frontal lobe. They asked me a bunch of questions about symptoms I'm having which currently are none, or very few. That said she explained several things that could have been going on, and explained why she's ruled them out based on my symptoms. Which put us to the point that now we're going to do a spinal tap to test the brain fluid. If you thought I said the bad part earlier, here's the other bad part. I been on Topamax for well over a decade or more to control my migraines that I used to get 4 to 5 times a week. So they want me to stop taking it two weeks prior to my spinal tap so that they can get an accurate read on what's going on. Means at some point here in the future, I'm going to be in a lot of head pain for a couple weeks.

Anyway, I am back and good for now! So will be posting tomorrow.

Some good to go with the bad. I empathize with the migraines. Hang in there.

Yikes! The migraines suck. Are you allowed to take anything else to mitigate them during that two week period?

Nezaglomie's disgust at the racism of the Hellknights and her own attitude toward Yarr for being a goblin -- the irony of this is not lost on me, though it is on her, at least for now.

Ah, the dice Gods have their fun with us, do they not? ;-)

J-E-L-L-O!

As tough as the 1st/2nd level encounters are in this version of the game, I'm truly worried about what's down the road!

Guess I wasn't as back as I thought.

I've not posted in a couple weeks because they not only wanted me to stop taking my migraine meds two week before my appt (which started yesterday mind you) but they also informed me that they wanted me to immediately stop taking my pain medications for my shoulder/back. So it's been a rough couple weeks since those meds helped alleviate the pain in my shoulder from when I was in my near fatal car accident in 2016 and my back from a bad disc (to much jumping outta airplanes in the army).

Anyway I'm trying to catch up in all my games right now so that maybe I can keep caught up while off all my meds.

Glad to have you back! Hope they can figure it all out so you can finally feel better!

Apologies Nezaglomie but I didn't see coordinates or a move action listed.

Yeah.  I realized that, which is why I just went along with it.  I'll try to be more explicit with actions.

On a side note I have been playing around with AI art generators. I think I have a good handle on creating decent characters so if anyone wants I can try and make custom character art for you for the game. If interested just PM me the details. The more descriptive the better but also understand that AI art generation is very hit or miss. I often have to generate hundreds of images to get a couple of keepers.

BUUUUUT i can have it running while I am asleep or at work so its not a huge effort and it helps me practice tweaking settings.

Anyway what I need in the PM is:
1) Text description. The more descriptive the better. Also consider the background, the art style, the lighting etc.

2) Let me know if I can post it here in general or not. i know everyone would love to see what comes out but i get some of these can be personal.

3) Understand that sometimes it doesnt have the training material to do a specific thing. I have found that certain poses or combinations just dont work out. It is trained on hundreds of millions of art but it is lacking in many ways. I tried to do this for a Star Trek game for example and it just doesnt really get star fleet uniforms.

 4) Also understand high quality art is a tremendous effort. The stuff you might see online for AI art is often a combination of multiple generation processes and clean up stages. It is still a lot faster than human artwork but the highest quality stuff can easily take several hours on top of extensive training on how to write prompts and set settings.


That being said the ultimate goal is to give you a token to remember this game by and even submit to be your proper portrait.

poke poke anyone else? I'm updating combat tomorrow with or without the rest of ya

Hi DM, I asked this question in the war room.

Oh sorry I didn't see that. Yeah you can grab her and move her away no problem, no grapple needed because she's paralyzed and friendly.

I like the Yarr, Next exchange.

I have parents visiting from 10 hours away, will try to post later tonight or tomorrow night.
