Morning decrepitude report.

kshandra, being a goddess, brought home a new OTC pain killer & anti-inflammatory medication yesterday. It seems to help a little. Between that and utter exhaustion, I actually managed about six hours of sleep. Currently dealing with about a 5 on the pain scale. Walking is still difficult. I'm trying to get in to see my doctor earlier than tomorrow, but they appear to be slammed.

More to come.

Why will you never see a fighter, a sorcerer, and a halfling bard voting at the same time?

Because campaigning is prohibited at polling places!

Hahaha, I slay me. I'll be here all week, be sure to try your waitress and tip the veal.

The other day I nattered a bit about what would motivate characters in FRPGs to take the insane risks that are the standard fare of the wandering adventurer. That post seemed to be well received, so I thought I'd tackle the harder question: motivations for a party sticking together. Because let's face it, most FRPG parties are wildly improbably associations of classes, races, and alignments that are assembled for tactical reasons. They kind of remind me of my first fire team in the Army; four people with nothing in common thrown together in common cause. But the difference is I had to be given a legal order to work with PFC Kosut (a right-wing religious fanatic with no tolerance for anything that varied from his bigoted views.) Given a choice, I would have rabbited from that team at my first chance. So what motivates these PC groups?
( This gets long. )

Well, that was fun to write.

Any requests for more RPG blathering?

Another 30 Days - Day 2

Day 02 → Something you love about yourself.

My imagination. My ability to dream has gotten me throw so many bad times, and even led to some money making opportunities, that I cannot accept a life without it/. Just how my brain has been burning with building my fantasy setting's religion over the last few weeks.. I can see the dwarf churches, the symbols, hear the liturgies.

Reality is fine. But I love my rich fantasy-soaked brain.
