Wow. It's been like three weeks since I posted. Life's been happening.
Last week, I went out of town to test my magic machine. Hey, surprise of surprises - it seems to work! Now I have to go to Stage 2 - building a real machine to test in a real plant.
We went to see fireworks on 'Murica Day. We sat on bleachers on a soccer field far from anyone else. It was actually like having our own private display. Pretty fun. Of course, it took about 2 hours to get home because there were so many other people trying to get home from their own private displays too.
And I've had two campaigns that I'm in self-destruct. Which is [sad face].
1) Jared is getting burned out on d20, and is ending Council of Thieves. There's a general rule that I've found is that when I customize or paint a miniature specifically for a campaign, the campaign dies. In this case, I found and painted a miniature for my character's new "Life Coach". I think the death stroke was molding it and casting an invisible version in clear acrylic.
2) Dennis is ending /placing on hiatus his Deadlands:Hell on Earth campaign. We have about 2 sessions left (provided people show up). I've really been enjoying this campaign, and it's one of the few I've played in recently where I haven't played some sort of spellcaster. I've played a sniper with a really big gun.
I'm not certain why I haven't been posting lately, other than the fact that nothing has stood out as post-worthy in itself.
Tonight is Character Creation for Jared's new campaign. He's running something in the Hellfrost campaign for Savage Worlds. I have no idea what kind of character I will run. Casters are kind of wierd, in that they continually risk losing their casting ability. I'll try to post back whatever I decide.
