Not much of substance here, I'll expect. I haven't had much of note happen lately. A little job stuff, some RP...
Read on if you're still interested...
OK, so I've now had actual experience with a dice-based roleplaying system. D20, to be precise. And I'm wondering where it'd been all my life. I haven't had that much fun since I first found the Hall.
Which isn't to say it doesn't have its bad moments. Rolling the d20 for a listen check: 1. "Sorry, Stam, but a natural 1 means failure regardless of modifiers. You didn't hear a thing."
And its good moments. Rolling the d20 to try and repair a friend's armor:20. "I'd say that repairs it, yes."
It's still all electronic (this is Digital Dreaming, as I mentioned in my last post), so I can't even get my own lucky dice. They've managed to build a roller into the chat, and sometimes it just hates a guy. I had a ratty little episode (Literally! Dire rats! Diseased little things...yuck!) the other night where I couldn't roll for squat, and had 'net problems on top of that to boot.
But the RPing afterwards was still as fun. Especially washing the badger off ::grins:: (To explain that some...nah. I think it'll be more fun for you to try and figure it out by yourself ::evil grin::)
In other matters, Hall's been a little slow, but apparently it always is around this time of year. A charity ball took place, and although it wasn't RPed, we did have a fun 'evening after' as the regular Hall session.
Job's a little slow at the moment too. Got a small one (with lots of editing required--would you believe a 4-line paragraph with only one sentence in it?) and hopefully something else coming along.
And that's about it for the moment. I just thought my blog had been sitting idle for too long.
