You shouldn't feel that you have to entertain us, Nick. You can take a break too.

Re: The Bard's latest barb

Based on post timing, it seems like I'm directing where we go because I post first, so I was just saying what I think we should do and allowing zenbot to agree/disagree and provide the definitive direction of what our ending action is.

RPG wise, Grieg is inexperienced and a little timid, so he should be the 'leader of the band' that much, despite being more familiar with this world.

If that helps explain anything...

I Weeded  Until My Fingers Split Open and Bled, Then I Died

Insanely busy weekend, only have the energy for half the post tonight...this coming week will also be crazy busy as I'm quadrupling the size of our garden this year, adding a fence, manually weeding the lawn (organic yard/gardening suxxors!), blah blah yadda yadda.

Pinky do you guys get weeds up there under the ice? :p

I know Zenbot doesn't because there is no water in Californistan. :|

Anywhos, will do my best to get you guys the daily posts, apologies in advance if I'm unable.

My work has been very busy the past week (and this). Working every day and late at night after the kids are asleep. I'm still checking in, but you being busy is good timing with my schedule :).

Also, as I was reading I filled in the rest of your sentence as I was reading and anticipating you quadrupling the size of your family. So disappointing it's only garden news. :|

Grieg, I made a mistake on your character sheet when entering the Long Hunting Dagger. It is corrected. Also another minor error regarding dagger to-hit bonuses was straightened out, much to your advantage.

Basically, I was forgetting to take into account Grieg's finesse melee attack bonus (a rogue class ability).

That stacks with its other bonus.

I also adjusted your other (throwing) dagger to reflect finesse (f) bonuses.

****Week-long Break*****

Yesterday, I suffered 3rd concussion since late Nov.

I'm going to take the rest of the week off; hopefully, by Monday I'll be feeling better.

I have only played Final Fantasy 8 from start to finish. I had mostly sports games as a kid.

Hopefully you feel better, multiple concussions do not sound fun.

Thx. Feeling okay-ish today. Still taking it easy, though.

Final Fantasy 1 on NEs is the only one from that series I've finished. Played it through one summer when I was like 12 or 13.

Dragon Warrior was another fave from when I was maybe 10? I got it for my birthday.

Of course the Zeldas....

I know Zennie and I both really love Earthbound (SNES). That's an all-time great.

Shadowgate.

Gauntlet arcade was HUGELY influential to a 6- or 7- year old Juke.

Dragon Warrior was one of my favorites too. The overworld song is burned into my brain. SeƱora and I used to play it on piano together.

Feeling much better today.

Unless I take a bad turn, we should be able to resume play on Monday.

Seems much less severe this go around, fingers crossed.

****Week-long Break: UPDATE*****

Re RPGs video games...so there's an okay MMORPG free through steam called D&D Online.

It's fun, but I quickly lost interest because the free version has certain limits (can only play solo, can't access certain power-ups, etc.) that you can pay to upgrade.

I never paid a cent, I disagree with that sort of thing, but the free stuff is still pretty stellar for a bit.

If I had the subscription version, it'd probably be up there on the list though, the things they do now are amazing! :p

Another UPDATE.

Feeling better, not 100%. Had a lot of legal hoa b.s. to deal with this weekend, which ate most of my Saturday and Sunday.

Working on new posts now, may still take me a day or two to up them, but they're on their way.

Thanks again for the patience.

Back in Action!

Again, apologies for the extended delay.

We're back in action!

Chapter III will be stylistically different than other chapters.

We will respectfully learn about, and emulate, Japanese kabuki theatre for this chapter.

Extra XP can be earned by leaning into this in your role-playing and posts.

If you're uncertain where to begin, the following link gives an amazingly awesome example of a vibrant artform.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO8UEfgD6lw

If you're saying to yourself, 'Boyzers, Juke *really* dinged his head this time!' and 'I want nothing to do with this,' I'll allow it.

But I'll respect you less for it. :p :D ;)
