[Hivemind] Snow falling on Computer Towers while Neon Lights Blink Away

[ASH]

I am still here, at least at the moment. My husbands playing dnd and I am just hanging out waiting for his other group to get done.. They are playing the originial ravenloft adventure converted in to 3.5 and changed to fit 13th lvl pc's. Its going pretty well so far, at least no on has died.

I spent the evening setting up our artificial christmas tree and rearranging the apartment to fit the tree.

I am really tired but i hate to go to bed with the group still here...
maybe Ill just crash on the couch until they are done.

Tallok, was that the SNL with Rev. Al Sharpton? Is SNL live in your area, or do you see it on tape delay?

ASH. My family has an artificial tree, too. I think the thing is older than I am. Yours is green though, right? Why aren't you playing D&D as well?

Hello everyone.

Yes its green. Its the first year we have had a fake tree. My folks always took us kids to a tree farm where we would all pick it out and while they cut it down we would sit by a fireplace and drink cider and eat peanuts. My husbands mom always used the tree we have now, and he thinks its older than he is too!

We can not have a real tree because of the fire hazard. Its part of our rental agreement here in the apartments.

I am not playing because my husband dm's 12 people and for ease of play we split it into 2 groups. Each group play's once a month. They always play here because for Drew(my husband)s birthday last year I got him a huge oak table. It seats 10, but if you want arm room we try to not have more than 8 at it at once. We have a 3 bdrm apartment and the big bedroom is where we have the table and all the bookshelves and gaming stuff, it also has a half-bath so when gaming you dont have to go down the hall and you can still hear whats going on in the adventure. We have two boy's but they are young enough to share a room. Needless to say that this is where all the rpg's are played at. I like it, most of Drew's friends are really great guys that are respectful of my place and my family.

Its the other groups turn tonight. I played a couple weeks ago, and got my head cut off by a vorpal blade. The group playing tonight is 13lvl, our group is 17th lvl. We will be rapping up these characters in the next 4 mos. Then I think we will try to trim some people and have one group that plays two times a month.
But thats probly more info than you needed....

No, that's not too much detail, ASH. It's interesting hearing about other people's games. Were you able to raise your character or is the death permanent? Are you kids excited about Christmas now that the tree's up?

Hi Ashwyn. What have you been up to?

 

[Ashwyn]

Hi Ashwyn. What have you been up to?

Just realxing, watching lots of movies, playing video games, and I've done some writing.

Actually, it was a lucky thing that it happend the way it did. With the character being 17th lvl we are pretty much saving the world. I was true res'ed by the primal god of fire, we all were, the DM planned a total party kill and just got lucky with me and the vorpal blade. The primal god of fire wanted us killed to end a tie that a few of the party had with an arch devil. Its a really, really long story.... Essentially it was plot development. I would explain but I find it hard to give the story and plot's justice. Its all really cool, but when I type it down it just reads...not as cool. But I really thank you for your interest. Perhaps if I am ever bored I will try to type more of the story's down. Drew is a masterful DM. And I am not say ing that jsut because he's my hubby.

My 4 yr old is so crazy excited about christmas i think he may burst. Its his favorite time of the year. His first song was 'jingle bells'. He loves anything christmas and he loves it all through the year. So when we get to actually begin celebrating christmas his spirit just double's. He is really bad at keeping secrets about presents though.

My 7month is excited when he gets to chew on his feet, so he really does not care yet...
The tree helped me to get in to the spirit. I was not feeling very christmassy until now. We will decorate it tomarrow..

 

[Tallok]

we, or more precisely, my parents, went out and got a christmas tree today. it's quite nice

 

[ASH]

As nice as this conversation has been I really need to try and sleep. I am sure the baby will be up in a few hours and If I dont sleep I am going to deeply regret it.

have a great night.
