I'm Back...Sorta

[Gray Mouser]

Welcome back, Colonel. I'm glad to hear you're feeling much better and am hoping you are back to 100% soon. Hearing that you've managed to somehow make progress on the CZ project while recovering form your bout with shingles was also great news, of course

I noticed you had done some posting over at dragonsfoot but wasn't aware you were back over here until this morning when I checked out the last Q&A thread on a whim. Looks like there's finally something worth reading over here again

I am counting on making it!

Cheers,

So who is the new poster on the DF boards?

BTW, Forgie's Hazgar Campaign ain't bad reading.

Cheers,

New poster? Well, if you mean me, I post over there under a different name.

Hmm, I'll have to check that out. Some of the campaign journals tend to get a bit tedious (mostly because they aren't my campaign, of course ) but I do like some of them. IIRC, Dungeon Delver had a great write up of G1 a while back. And of course there were the reports from your resurrected Castle Greyhawk campaign for a while, too

Finally, I have not drunk any absinthe, although I have had the non-wormwood-containing substitures such as Pernod.

My own first (and only) encounter with absinthe was a couple of months ago. A few of us chipped in to buy a bottle (89% proof!) as a birthday present for a colleague.

We presented this chap with the bottle after work, at the obligatory visit to the pub. We were joined by another colleague who happened to be celebrating his birthday as well. The bottle was passed around, and we all imbibed a little.

Wisely, the two birthday boys had booked the following day off work. Nevertheless, they had access to their email from home. When I got to work the next day, I read the following messages:

Birthday Boy 2: You are all absolute [expletive]s. I have a hangover the strength of a nuclear bomb being detonated in the vicinity of a novelty klaxon factory!

Respondent 1: That'll be the absinthe.

Birthday Boy 2: There was absinthe? That explains it.

Birthday Boy 1: Yes, there was absinthe. I found it in bed with me this morning.

Not to mention interjecting a bit of levity

And that is why I have avoided it.

Absinthe is the shining hope of Chaotic Awesome.

Absinthe is the shining hope of Chaotic Awesome.

Perhaps, but...

It is certainly a mind-rotting substance
