The HIVE: One Mind, No Purpose.

[Desert Hare]

Nothing special really. I just assembled a few lego models. I figured that I'll need minis for my SW game, so instead of buying the ugly WotC SW minis, I bought lego . The only model that I'm missing right now is a Tusken, and it's not easy to come by, since they stopped making that already . I could order a pack with Tusken from Amazon, but I've never bought anything from them, so I'm a bit hesitant to try...

Lego minis, I'd never thought of that. Awesome idea.

I've never had anything but pleasant experiences when buying directly from amazon. If you need to buy used, then make sure you pay by CC and keep track of your order.

Yeah, I've used them sometimes for my fantasy campaigns, since I have like tons of peasants, knights, warriors etc from my childhood. And you can even build quite nice environmental effects (hills, walls, buildings etc..) with the basic blocks.

I'm definitely going to have to remember this.

Our group is 1/2 of the way into our current 3E campaign and I've asked Tad (the GM, known here as Superf(r)eak) if I could GM the next 3E campaign. He gave me the green light. So I'm hard at work designing the races, classes and spell system.

Think Ravenloft, but throw out the dark lords, replace the mists with shadow, add in a trickling of post-renaissance tech (guns and the like), a modified Masque of the Red Death/Ravenloft spell system, a skill set that is part Gothic era based/part DnD based and throw in some of what makes Ptolus Ptolus and a race similar to half-vistani and that’s basically what I'm working on. I'm also thinking about adding in a little Iron Kingdoms flair (since the advent of the steam engine and the repercussions of it need to be felt throughout the campaign).

It's a world of waning magic and ascendant technology. As parts of it get completed, I intend to post it up and share with enworld.

Well, sauna is hot. I'm off to enjoy the heat.

Updated Siberys Seven Storyhour. Building to the group reveals of the Elderich money origins, Mania being undead, Aura being a being of postive energy and just revealed Leeya's dreams (and hinted at her becoming a Cataclysm Mage)


Different DnD group than any I have ever done. I need to speed it up to the battle scenes and adventures. Too much 90210 feel to it still

??? Uh?

People are never here when I come on or there are long ongoing conversations that end abruptly once I arrive. Then the only time anyone has talked about lists of members and NOT forgotten me was Fru/Rev.


I feel kinda rejected (aka Revoked). I still come here out of habit but post knowing it doesn't mean anything. Thus why I only mention what I am doing in life, in my Storyhours or put up a bunch of smiley faces.

Folks have no interest in what I have to say anymore.

 

[Desert Hare]

Is the Siberys Seven a game you actually ran at some point Mega? Or it a complete work of fiction?

Poor guy. I know what it's like. I used to be such a social misfit. Never could fit in.

Finally, finally, when I found a game group could I let my hair down and feel free to just be me. Thats when I figured out that I needed to stop caring what other people think of me. That is, aside from my friends and family; but even then to take their cares with a grain of salt.

I care a little too much I think; it's gotten me hurt in the past. But I can't stop being a loving and caring person, it's ingrained in my core. I just need to put a small moat around my tower let the drawbridge down when someone has proven that they can be a friend that will reciprocate my feelings.

Mega, I care about everyone. That means you too. Sure, I've probably never met you, but that doesn't make you any less human. Keep in consideration that there are people out there that hope that those that work the hardest for their families get whats coming to them. I think you count among them.

*gives Mega a kiss on the cheek*

Part of the problem seems to be that when you come by it is often between 11:00 pacific and 1:00 pacific which seems to coincide with the time people seem to leave the hive. It also doesn't help that recently a lot of those conversations were really pent up frustration conversations between Aseon, Goldmoon and whoever else was around .

The problem when posting during those conversations is that like it or not, if you are not apart of it or commenting on something that goes along with them, you'll end up getting ignored, specially if you post then leave. Or what also could happen is that your post ends up getting buried by all the pent up sexual frustration and and no one sees it because it's not laced with innuendo.

Btw, you are not the only one that gets ignored during those conversations. I often find that saying that random outlandish stuff sometimes work the best in those situations. But then it also seems like people are straying away from talking about how crappy the world is getting (especially in the states) and want to focus more on the "giggity/phuzzleness."

As for not showing up in "hiver lists," since I'm bad with names, I only mention the obvious (ie those people who post a lot or had at one time dominated the discussion for like a day or so and those user name I remember at the time). Most of the time I count on by memory being somewhat faulty so I don't think you should look too deeply into it or let it get you down.
