[Hivemind]Just the bang and the clatter, as an angel hits the ground

[Maldur]

I'll sit here and seethe with jealousy. Another week, with a lecture to be written for Monday and a whole horde of marking to come after that...

Youll survive another week, doc!

Besides, who but you is gonna teach those kids to roleplay

 

[Maldur]

Did I say roleplay? I meant write

 

[arwink]

There's a bunch of people who could do my job. Of course, there's also a bunch of people who would complain loudly and cringe in fear when they had to read some of the stories that cross my desk.

And role-playing is writing. Or, at the very least, it's a process of Authoring a story. I'd already worked gaming into my courses (I talked about Gaming and TFT/Enmag articles in particular in my lecture on collaborative writing and storytelling). My next goal is to turn it into a subject unto itself.

Mmmm. Gamer studies.

Be careful or they'll be calling you, crazy DR.Ball.

Be careful or they'll be calling you, crazy DR.Ball.

Right up to the point I pull it off.

Not that I think I will, but it's a goal.

hey hive, how is the gang?

 

[arwink]

Plotting the subversion of academia as we know it, and basking in the knowledge that I finally (after three or four attempts) got a storyhour through the first adventure.

I think that's enough for one evening

How are you, Clay?

Right up to the point I pull it off.

Everyone should have goals.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Bricks are fun. Especially when you have constently move them around in the burning heat of summer trying to find some out of the way spot were they won't clutter up the yard and look horrid, but you keep fail misserably and therefore have to move them agian, and agian, and agian...
