As It Goes

Well life moves on. The house is pretty well in order now considering I moved in months ago and just sort of let things sit for a while. Work has settled down and I really need to start looking into a new part time job to fill in the gaps. Found an interesting master's degree for teaching. I'll need to contact the university to see how it works out exactly. It's a new method of teaching that hasn't completely taken hold yet, but the field could see a ton of growth in the future.

Idiocy in my games is tired and old. If I had a nickel for everytime I heard a person argue for their right to say bigotted things and then cry about being labled a bigot I would be able to buy this nation several times over. I've been watching the Hooper X clip from Chasing Amy to keep my sanity.

Renn Faire has finally started, but I still haven't managed to get down there. Hopefully next weekend.

You know, this is why the only online games I ever play are smaller rpgs stuff. I was into Phantasy Star Online, where it's a team of 4, and you mostly set up with private instances and you don't have to interact with the larger brand of stupid.

Grr.

Honestly, at this point I'm thinking of going back to smaller games too. Especially console games for a while. Less chance of idiocy and so much more peace of mind.

I'm fitting up to do a Skype game of D&D, if you're at all interested. Funny enough, it will be an all POC group amongst my friends...

I am actually, thank you. When do you think you will start?

Waiting on one more person to get a headset!

I'm thinking of using a modified version of the Orcs & Ogres (http://excaliburvideoproductions.com/Orcs%20%26%20Ogres%20draft%201.pdf) rules, with spell accents (http://bankuei.wordpress.com/2008/05/03/retro-hack-spell-accents/) and a little Final Fantasy influence thrown in...
