Heya guys!!  In the next few hours I will be finishing up the last of the BISI posts which are all over 50% done already.  So this isn’t a project that will get pushed back.  But I just got home from running, and I need a fricking shower!!  ZOMG!!!  Before winter I started running again because…I got lazy and out of shape.  But then winter came…and guys, I live in New Orleans for a reason.  When it comes to the cold, I’m a fricking sissy!  That’s right, you heard me.  Might as well put pigtails on my head and get me a pink dress, cause I ain’t running in no damn cold weather!!  Heh.  So I’m finally not sick and it’s warm, so it’s time for some running.  And, I finally ordered my P90X if you guys ever heard of it.  I’ll give you a heads up over the next month or two and let you know how it’s coming along.

PTR

But let’s talk about the PTR for a second.  I didn’t do a lot of writing about the PTR because most of the time things change constantly on there.  But recently I sat down and realized that a lot of people are very very interested in what is going on at the PTR, etc.  So whether or not I think it’s relative or important, you guys are interested so it might be time to break some of it down for you all.  After I get the BISI’s rolled out I will get a preliminary post up about PTR changes either late tonight or sometime tomorrow after work depending on how much I decide to include in the post.

D&D

I’m a big time gamer.  I started out playing Gamma World at a camp I attended in the summers when I was 10 years old.  Then I joined the Gaming Society in high school as a Sophmore and began gaming again.  I was playing Tele Arena on BBS’s before MUD’s were even really out there.  And I’ve basically been a “gaming geek” ever since.  Whether it was video games, board games, or pen and paper.

Recently me and my boys have been playing D&D 4.0, which was just released in the past few months.  It’s got it’s ups and downs.  It’s biggest problems however are fairly serious.  It’s not high fantasy/epic at all, casters are just silly underpowered, whomever wins initiative is always at a *massive* advantage, and the system plays more like an MMO pulling the game away from “role playing” which is supposed to be the entire point of playing a pen and paper game to begin with.

A while back some of the guys requested that I run an “Epic” level campaign (which we’ve never really done) and it got pushed back due to some rl issues (break up with the ex-fiance).  Even though we’ve been playing 4.0, to keep it feeling epic we’re going to do it in 3.5 ed.  If you look up top, you’ll see a tab/page called “Shi’dar”.  Shi’dar is the capitol city of a kingdom…er empire now, that is one of the focal points of a lot of plot lines.  Over this weekend I did a lot of work on that page, but it’s password protected atm because I was a little unsure as to my copyright protection.  I don’t want my stuff stolen as it were.  But my understanding now is that it is copyrighted once published on the site, which I did not know.  My question to you guys is this:

Do you want to see and/or read about the campaign and game world?

RPG’s are something I do on the side no matter what.  And I had already considered keeping some notes on events that occured in the game.  There is no chance that I will convert it into a story format with conversations, etc…  But I had considered putting the notes up on a seperate page so you guys could read about the story.  If you guys are interested at all, drop a comment or send me an E-mail.
