.: Swimming
This morning, for a few minutes, I was the only person in the pool. The water was almost entirely still as I started swimming. It was both surreal and exhilarating, and it has made me realise that I wouldn’t be opposed to having my own pool soon. :)

.: Gaming
Last sunday we had our regular sunday gaming session, and there were quite a few upsets, in a similar way as the Gonzaga vs. Crocop UFC fight was an upset; the players were deceived, and now a man they have struggled long and hard for in order to save him, is dead, and one of the key items they need in order to truly overcome their ultimate opponent is lost. With the exception of Matthieu, all of them knew something was up, and that Baer – the one who ended up betraying them – wasn’t kosher, but they never once chose caution over carelessness, and they never once voiced their concerns to one another. Even Crispin, my main deus ex machina NPC in the game, could only voice his discomfort and suspicions that much until the players had to do something. In the end they didn’t, and they’re a shite-side worse off than they were. I wonder what they’re going to do next.

[wRx] New Profile Items

Recently I introduced the timezone setting in the profile section, so that you could modify the times and dates on this website to reflect the local times in your own timezone. Now I’ve added location and birthdate as well, which are voluntary pieces of information that victi*…err, members can register. It would be appreciated if it was used, thanks.

Birthday Presents

I’ve been told that if you don’t throw a birthday party, you’re can’t expect people to give you a birthday present because you’re not giving them the opportunity to give it to you (regardless of the frequency with which you see them.) I’m not too sure if I agree with that. No, wait, let me rephrase; “I’m sure I don’t agree with that.” What do you think? No presents without a party, or shouldn’t it matter?

[D&D] Monty Haul

So after last session’s rather Monty Haulish load of items my players managed to get away with, I’ve got a quite a bit of creative writing to do, coming up with stories, histories and lore to accompany said items. This, while the end-result is probably going to be worth it, sucks the big one. Not something this clever boy thought of (among many other things), when he decided to let the group of intrepid adventurers sneak into, and out of, a dragon’s lair with arms full of lewt.
