    The Center of Time OOC Discussion

    https://www.goodreads.com/ Something of a reading site that Amazon bought, but you create a profile and recommend books, give them reviews, etc. I think Amazon may tank soon anyway, given its losses due to discounting, but we'll see. Also, buying through reputable stores helps publishers...

    GM found! 0-level funnel pending!

    Granted! Granted! Aaaaaaaand aerodynamic underpants! (aka: granted) You imagine all these wishes to have been granted, instantly materializing in an imaginary swirl of, ohh, let's say fire and dust. First comes a shower of colorful Canadian money, a rainbow of scintillating colors...

    GM found! 0-level funnel pending!

    Say my name and so I appear! (pp...) Yep, got that set of courses. Overwhelming workload, but I have returned. And you all get three wishes. Three... imaginary wishes.

    sweet! Okay, cool. Swamped these days, with a full-time editing internship plus family plus freelance work as an editor. Anyone here on Goodreads?

    Heya! Okay, so my course is done. Um... yay I'm back? Ugh, all games may have died on me, or moved on. My shame for poor posting ability recently may also land me in the dog house for starting new games. Fie to that, I say!

    Discussion: "Abjuration" magic school name misleading?

    But that's just it: You can't (according to CMS 16) Abjure someone who isn't yourself. I can't Abjure the powers of evil (unless they're me), but I *can* Adjure them. Teleport would be a better Abjuration, to abjure from this location. Protection from Evil would be Adjuring the forces of...

    Discussion: "Abjuration" magic school name misleading?

    According to the Chicago Manual of Style 16th edition, page 263 (Glossary of Problematic Words and Phrases) or section 5.220: abjure; adjure. To abjure is to deny or renounce under oath (ie: the defendant abjured the charge of murder) or to declare one's permanent abandonment of a place (ie...

    The Center of Time

    Duncan looks fairly uncomfortable at the thought of "downloading" his memories. "I'm..." He trails off. "I'll help Echo with buying things at the market. People tend to give me good prices, I think." OOC: Sorry about the delay. Intensive course certificate, plus when I get home it's all...

    GM found! 0-level funnel pending!

    Hey all! Sorry about the delay in posting. I've been in a publishing intensive course, plus parenting, plus being sick... and then there's the "they'll hate me for not posting" shyness. Anyhoo, would it be okay for me to jump back in, or have we progressed too far? I was thinking of...

    I'm here! Sorry, distracted again! I'm doing lots, so posting has slowed, and my time to check threads is also waaaay more sporadic. Trying to condense things.

    So... Continuity changes? Do we need a forum group hug or support group?

    I think it's taken the conundrum of SW fandom and just made it mainstream: what is canon for the story we're telling RIGHT NOW, as well as "what would I do if I were in charge (iiwic)". That's what JJ Abrams is doing now, just like Lucas did for the prequels that the mainstream fanbase was...

    So... Continuity changes? Do we need a forum group hug or support group?

    So yeah, since the old continuity is gone and thanks to JJ Abrams, I now have access to the entire official Canon of Star Wars... what does that mean for SW games here? More specifically (hi-larious thread title notwithstanding) HOW is it affecting YOU? I have to admit, I'm having a hard...

    OOC: been kept from computer due to school and family. Pls forgive! Gotta run. Still following!

    The Center of Time

    Duncan looms casually by the others, his augmented muscles as comfortable standing as any other pose. His mind is busy brooding, pondering his purpose in life beyond murder for survival. Were the abhumans a threat, or did stopping them endanger more lives? Had he done right to save the...

    Sailors on the Starless Sea

    OOC: Well, I think I know who's likely going to be my PC! Borok or Xim, though Borok has to survive this. I forgot if someone had picked up Alaric's sword and steel helmet. If not, I need to be less lazy and arm my dwarf! IC: Xim spits a horrific curse in the halfling tongue, then hurls...

    OOC: Duncan can end up with Seregal. I'm running around with boxes and storage units, so I'll be following via cellphone.

    Sailors on the Starless Sea

    Dudles, made senseless by fear, swings his pitshfork wildly instead of jabbing with it. Borok, more sensable in his approach, swings his hammer with more precision. Xim, using his cleverness along with natural agility, tosses his sling stone when a head or hand comes into view.
