I ran a game!
May. 18th, 2015 12:45 pmAnd it didn't go terribly! I count this as a huge success, I know roughly where I'd like the story to go next and know what I'd like to do with the stats to make things more entertaining all round.
Success!
Made me laugh
Nov. 24th, 2014 07:19 pmStarted reading the BLADES boards: "Wanted strong male warrior (preferably human).."
Smithy might fit the bill, this might be a chance for interesteing downtime to make up for not making any games in forever...
"... to father a daughter."

5E D&D mini-analysis
Jul. 4th, 2014 12:39 pmok so the first free look at D&D5 rules is available. Here is my only slightly distilled thoughts after having read through it in roughly the order stuff appears. (FYI in terms of D&D I played a little 3.5, but know 4e best, so will be comparing most things to 4E.)
here are the rules btw.

Exercise class fail
Jul. 3rd, 2014 06:43 pmJust went to my first exercise class as something different to the weights room and jogging for exercise. It was well taught but I've got to admit that it was quite a bit different to what the guy advertised it as which was a mostly male strength training and endurance class. Instead I'm the only guy there and it's an intense cardio regime. Now to explain, I don't like cardio, having a cardiovascular disease I'm not good at cardio. I'm also mule stubborn and already in defensive mode having turned up to a situation well outside my comfort zone for it to not be what I thought. For those of you that have seen me in a more intense LARP fight you'll also know I'm not desperately well co-ordinated and the class involves lots of "do what the instructor has just said, but in she used abbreviations and you can barely hear over the 'energetic':read annoying music". It was also run in a fitness shop to encourage attractive people to be there doing exercise to guilt people into buying stuff.
So I'm flailing around looking like a doofus while the other people who have clearly done this class before are following the routine fine and have better cardio stamina than me which means that I'm constantly trying to up my game by putting in more physical effort, making every move as fast and as large as I can even if I'm confused and out of time while everyone gives me slightly funny looks (except the instructor) and customers int eh shop are giving me really dodgy looks. So in summary: downside: I'm now a little bit broken, feel very silly and think I'll be sticking to solo exercise until I can nurse my wounded pride and pulled muscles. Upside: I can totally see the funny side of it now (post-exercise high?) and you all get the imagine of me flailing around trying desperately to be not terrible at excercise. Being out of time, pretty much folding over to catch my breath between exercises and generally looking like the opposite of what the shop wanted to do with their free exercise class thing . I imagine they wanted attractive people (maybe that explains why so many women!) being all co-ordinated and stuff. What they got was a weirdy scrawny nerdy beardy flailing and gasping for breath and sweating profusely.

TL statting
May. 1st, 2014 03:38 pmI've been thinking a lot about Smithy's stats in TL today (both because I've got him on my mind and because it's a slow day). I can't remember what I said about the cut, but it's ended up being a very rambling self-discussion about Smithy as a set of stats as well as a character. It's pretty incoherent in there, so I would probably advise not looking into it, that said I'm not locking the post (partly becuase I don't know how) but also partly because it might be interesting to some people to hear my crazy thoughts about some things.

A collection of 24hr thoughts
Apr. 14th, 2014 07:49 pmSo, I figured I should use this for something other than posting one piece of bad fiction and some pictures of a moth so here is an incomplete collection of thoughts from the BLADES 24hr in the format of hot and not as that's what I know best.

First and Only
Jul. 13th, 2012 01:47 pmTime I'll be publishing a piece of creative writing for the world to see. Hopefully noboby is too offended by the quality of the writing, especially the dialogue.
