The party arrives. Triel looks up. "This would be where I taunt you over the body of your friend. But, you know, I just can't think of a good line right now, so – goodbye."

I had a job; for three years, even. I went back to university because you first have to attend four years of nearly useless theoretizing before you can teach. :)

January, when exams are coming up? :)

Gina Torres could fit the role, though I imagine "Red" Sonja is named for her hair, not the blood she lets?

me, sometime after post #61.

The play?

Hej, my character for a future Eberron campaign is supposed to be a really nice and naive guy. So I thought his foster parents, not-so-nice but well-traveled folks, might have given him a list of things to look out for when adventuring. I'm looking for advice pertainung to classic situations...

By "correct" I mean not to use a mixed metaphor, or to use one that doesn't actually mean what you're trying to say. Just like using big words doesn't automatically make you sound smart if you don't know what they mean. As for the rest (I don't like to quote single sentences and address them)...

Just like any other craft, writing has an objective quality to it. The (correct) use of metaphors, similes, symbolism, or other stylistic flourishes. Clear writing, no redundancy and correct use of words (for example, there's a word for the "stylistic flourishes", but I don't know it). Showing...

Definitely. There are too many psionics-interested gamers out there who constantly run into DMs unwilling to learn a whole new book of rules for not-so-different special-cakes. I'm such a DM.

Battlestar Galactica. Though I never saw The Wire.

I don't know whether you notice this, but I'm writing with my new ergonomic keyboard. It feels like learning to type all over :) NiTessine: I liked your story well enough; you certainly show a great amount of imagination, and you make me feel as if I knew your fictional world or, at least, as...

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. It's late (early) right now, and I'm fatigued, but not tired... the "party high" :) For the record, it's not the big 3-0. Do you think I'm that old? Come on! I'm only 29, that's a decade younger (or more).

Sorry. Shall I edit my judgements?

The phone rang. All the gnupfs turned to look at me as I turned to look at the phone. The phone rang again. It had a nice old-fashioned ring, and it stood on a small desk next to the altar. It rang again. "Should I, you know, answer?" The gnupfs just stared at me. Lady Death shimmered in the...

I read the story totally different, as well. I resent my judgements right now. Edit: Since the rounds are judged, I'll just post my judgements here.

Just a few days ago, I wondered the same. I was led to Sweet20 xp system, as well as Piratecat's system, which we'll adopt: We already use Action Points, and we also use negative levels for resurrection instead of level loss, so the group is kept always at the same level.

I sent my comments. NiTessine, I'm frakking tired, and tomorrow's kind of a hard day (birthday and all), so I'll give you my comments sometime saturday or sunday, alright?

Of course it's good that he started writing at an early age. But a good part of writing is craftsmanship, and that has to do with practice. If you're fifteen, you can't have as much practice as someone aged 21 might have. Or aged 30. Or even 40. So if you're one of the rare kind of talents, then...

So, anyway... am I supposed to judge? Or not? Or... what?
