Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

[shadowbloodmoon]

Just so as you guys know, next week from Sunday to Thursday, I'll be at my yearly Wu Shu Camp, so I won't be on very much in those days. I will probably still be checking my email though, so you know, if Pyotr somehow dies or something, I'd like to know about it

 

[The Shaman]

Sounds fun, Shadow! Do you prefer wu shu pork or shrimp?

Oh, wait, that's mu shu...

So, everyone, is it hot where you are, too? :\

I had to start running after dark instead of during the day, which is throwing my body clock out of kilter. I ran at ten p.m. last night, and while the air temperature was cooler, the humidity was soaring which means that perspiring doesn't do much for cooling the ol' core. Ugh.

I know that our humidity out here on the Left Coast doesn't compare to the lands east of the Rockies, but by California standards it's been downright tropical the last couple of weeks - it's the kind of weather I'd expect in Cabo San Lucas this time of year.

It's amazing here today. Little puffs of clouds floating high in the sky, nice, warm sunshine, and tolerable humidity.

 

[Barak]

Not too hot at the moment, thankfully.

I just realized today that while I had kept up with the actual game, I had stayed out of the OOC thread for a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time now! Sorry about that.

BTW, I didn't post overly much about what Normand was doing post "moving the older dude" stage, because I didn't want to just assume he went along with the whole thing.

 

[The Shaman]

Well, it's finally starting to cool off a bit here. What's been so crazy is that we live five miles from the beach, but for weeks there has been no breeze at all other than during passing thunderstorms - that's exceedingly rare for us.

I'm going to e-mail shibata this evening - hopefully everything is okay, and he's just having some computer problems or such.

I received an inquiry yesterday from another interested player, Watus, about joining the game - Widowmaker also expressed an interest a month or so ago. Any thoughts on adding new players? I'm not ready to add anyone until our current adventure is done, so we're probably talking about a couple of months out at least. E-mail me your thoughts, or post them here if you prefer.

 

[Bobitron]

My thoughts are mostly consumed with the following idea: Landis is a poo-poo head!

Anyhow, more players, eh? I'm not against it, but I'm really pleased with our group as it stands, and the use of NPC's to fill out the cast of characters has been exceedingly well done, Mike. Kudos for continuing to run a great game.

So, sure, if everyone agrees. But I'm not burning to add more.

I'm crazy busy at work right now and have a long eventful weekend ahead. Damn housewarming party! Who's idea was it to invite 50 people?

I'll be back in full stride on Monday. I hope to have time to update tomorrow evening.

 

[shadowbloodmoon]

I'm back... and sore as all hell as well as sweating more water than I drank. You'd think I lived in the tropics up here... but the camp was soooo worth it.

I'm up in the air about new players. New character dynamics are fun to add in, but as Bobitron said, we have a pretty good group as it is. Maybe if Shibata has pulled out on us, we could consider another. We'll just have to see as time goes on.

*goes off to see if Pyotr is still alive*

 

[The Shaman]

Sorry for the delay, guys - got slammed with work first thing Monday morning. I'll be back on track tomorrow.

 

[The Shaman]

Wow, what a brutal week! Yeech!

Again, sorry for the delay. I haven't heard back from shibata yet, so we'll continue as is for the time being.

Bobitron: I'm withholding judgement until the B-test is in, and the experts have their say. This would be a serious blow to me if the allegations are true - Floyd is supposed to be "one of the Good Guys" in the peloton, and if it turns out that he doped, it would be a profound disappointment.

Shadow: Glad you had fun - did your kids participate, too, or was this just for you? What exactly did the camp entail?

 

[shadowbloodmoon]

Well, we had two groups up there, one for us (the instructors) and one for the kids. Basically we go there and for three days we cram four new WuShu forms into heads and bodies as taught by the Chinese National Team. Kind of like boot camp, but oddly more fun...
