Speaking as someone who chose not to apply to become a Magi due to personal obligations not leaving me enough time to devote to the position... maybe they didn't get any applications. I can think of at least four people besides myself who considered applying, but ultimately decided their time...

I have to agree with this assessment. Conversion to D&D3.x was the worst for me, because that was when I had several mid-level characters to convert, all in RPGA campaigns so they had to be done immediately. With no one to make any sort of suggestions as to how the new system might affect the...

Here's the playlist for Evan... artist, tattooist, and man of eclectic tastes. I'd probably title this cd "Just Because." Take Five - Dave Brubeck Stray Cat Strut - The Stray Cats Science Fiction, Double Feature - (from The Rocky Horror Picture Show) Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon and...

There actually is a point to people suggesting that one clean up one's grammar and punctuation, along with spelling and formatting. The point is, if one's rant, question, or suggestion is typed in such a manner as to affect its readability, it makes it very difficult to understand the post well...

*grins* Ask any SCAdian who's been to the Pennsic War what kind of factor weather can be when it wants, though. "Pennsic is hot, cold, drenched, and dusty" about sums it up. Granted, that particular camping event goes on for a couple of weeks, which does give a bit of time for the weather to...

Hehe, I did tell you about it. You just don't remember who all I play. Gabby ring a bell for Sir Dieterich? I'm about an hour from Brattleboro, by the way. :-)

Byron is working security at the Twelfth Cat Opera House and seeing one of the seamstresses there. Cyath got together with Calandra and became the daddy of twins, so he's probably helping with diaper-duty or something, lol. The player has had several major real-life occurrances including a...

One thing to keep in mind, using someone's private propterty will be rough camping in the extreme. There won't be any running water or toilets, so the group would have to rent porta-potties. People would have to haul in their own drinking water as well as food. I know, I do a rough camp like...

A small figure in a gray-green cloak and carrying a guitar case approaches the cork board. A slim dark hand reaches up to take the note. Anyone standing nearby might hear a soft murmur of, "He's alive... and hopefully well, since he was able to get this here." Suliss moves off again, the note...

*grins* Katya still misses Arseth, but as you well know, she thinks he's dead. However, her player looks forward to your return, and to seeing how Katya will react when she sees Arseth once again.

Speaking as both a player of bards and as a player who usually enjoys other people's bards, I do think that picking the music carefully is key. Whether you choose to go the more descriptive route, the C&P-the-lyrics route, or some combination of the two, make sure the music fits the setting...

*Rose looks up from diapering the new baby. "Hiding? Are you kidding? I'd love a night out one of these days! But who in their right mind wants to babysit for me, for two year old twins and an infant?" A loud twang sounds from elsewhere in the house, then a little girl comes running in with a...

Jilly's player is around, just as several other names at the moment. Jilly hired on at the Twelfth Cat Opera House, and has been keeping very quiet there ever since Cryxlin also got a job there, lol. Cryx makes her nervous.

Thanks to an emergency at work, I wasn't able to be there half as much as I had intended. At the time I did manage to get it, there was a fair-sized group from the Cat there, along with several others. Slightly clique-ish? Well, sure... several parents chatting with old friends, and several of...
