I'm sure my 1.5 readers noticed a while ago that I haven't updated in a while. There are a few reasons for that; mostly though, I'm lazy. I've not given up gaming, I just haven't written much on the subject. So here's a quick rundown of the state of things.
The Mage game: Still ongoing, but winding down.
The Vampire: The Masquerade game: Finished.
Vampire: The Dark Ages game: Started.
Consoles: Still not hooked up, but soon, I hope.
WoW: Still playing, but I still don't have a character to 80 yet.
The House: Still in a shambles, but it's starting to pull together.
The Wife: Pregnant, will soon be giving birth.
This will tell you how big my wife, Maria, and I are into games. She decided that the best thing to do when she goes into early labor will be to get all of our friends together to play a big D&D 3.5 extravaganza. I'll be DMing this one (wish me luck) and I'm hoing to be able to make it a fast-paced battle-fest. Maria will be in periodic pain, so I don't want to bring much social, political, or logistical thinking into it, I think I'm just going to keep hurling monsters at the party until either everyone is dead or it's time to go to the hospital.
To this end, I am creating the party myself and I'm going to hand the characters out at the game, this helps keep players from being too attached to their characters and they won't mind as much if they die. The pary it thus:
Dwarf Monk/Drunken Master
Half-Elf Ranger
Human Rogue
Half-Ork Favored Soul
Human Fighter (I may throw something else on this one later, I haven't looked at it very much yet)
Half-Celestial Halfling Sorcerer
Human Paladin
I rolled randomly for all of the races. I had all of the class types generally picked out, but I rolled randomly to assign the race/class combinations. I'll write out a run-down of how the game goes. It should be fun.
State of the Blog:
I do want to come back to the blog. I find that writing about the games that I'm in can be hilarious and cathartic. I'll try to fill in the gaps in the Mage and Vampire campaigns soon. The plan was originally to start a Changeling campaign once the house was in order, but with the baby coming soon, and the house still a disaster, I don't know when that will actually be.
So until later,
Good Gaming
