It's all good news, actually, at this point. The blockage in my heart was in the LAD artery, and a blockage there leads to a heart attack they call "the widowmaker." Mine was quite severe. If the blockage hadn't been detected I probably would have died on the fighting field at Pennsic. So ...

Every so often a life-changing event happens. I had one of those recently. Eight weeks ago, I had open heart surgery to bypass a blockage, well more than one blockage, to be honest. I am doing fine now, and all indications are that once my recovery is complete I will be better than I was before. My ...

Because that's who it's supposed to be.

Hero Forge is a website that allows you to design and 3D print custom miniatures (in color, or unpainted, as you prefer). The minis aren't cheap, but the design portion of the site is free to use, so I've been playing around in it quite a bit lately. https://www.heroforge.com/ Here are a few example...

Well. my days of working six to seven days a week have certainly come to a middle. I am starting to see a little daylight at work. I worked less than 50 hours this week, which is a first since the beginning of October, and although I am at the office today I am actually taking tomorrow (Sunday) off....

Hey - it's Jen. :) Yes, I've been called away for a bit. I've been working ten or eleven hours a day Monday to Friday, plus one or both days every weekend since the beginning of October, which has put a hitch in most of my plans. There was a bit of a shake-up at my job the end of September, and the ...

The locals are, quite literally, up in arms. After today's attack by imperial troops, Rook's imperial kit causes even more of a stir for them, given the commotion he was just a part of. Enough of the villagers had seen him walk in with the delegation from the caravan to confirm that he is not a stra...

The best things about being back to work full-time: Earning a full paycheck; Feeling like a productive member of society; Not worrying about not having a job to go back to. The worst things about being back to work full time: Getting up early; Stress; Having 60 hours less of free time during the week.

The commotion at the wagons has interrupted the meeting and has drawn several of the townsfolk in that direction, but at the forefront are Ferric, Navi, and the little girl that had been sitting on the fence at the meeting. The three of them, flanked by half a dozen villagers, meet Rook about thirty...

Rook rushes forward to intercept the nearest man, and swings his greatsword as the man turns to run Init Rook (Greatsword) [1d10+10] = 8+10 = 18, Init Vandal (running away)[1d10] = 5 but a greatsword is a big, slow weapon and he is unable to bring the sword to bear before the man gets out of reach a...

OOC @Garbick - I did say the following, in a bright blue letters in the post immediately before Skopa's post: Skopa - Ferric is in the village, as are Navi and Ava (who have their own thread which will rejoin this one as soon as they resolve their conversation). Rook is on his own out here, so you'l...

OOC - It took me a while to figure out what to do here, because the last thing I want to do is stifle anyone's enthusiasm, but Rook is some distance from the goings-on at the village square. He is on the outskirts of the village, far enough that his cry of alarm might or might not be heard by the f...

JDM - I've played and DMed Dark Sun. It's an interesting setting. Definitely grim, definitely strange. Kind of like D&D meets Mad Max. There's a lot to like about the setting - it was pretty richly developed without requiring the players or the DM to be as thoroughly versed/indoctrinated in the ...

Skopa - Ferric is in the village, as are Navi and Ava (who have their own thread which will rejoin this one as soon as they resolve their conversation). Rook is on his own out here, so you'll be the only one posting in this thread right now. Also, my apologies, I thought I had posted this earlier t...
