Hallo,
Well, I have finally finished that class I was taking, and I am taking in a deep breath, and hopefully will loosen up by next week. Not that things will slow down, or I will have more free time. I will just be working on something less tiring than a class. I am running a D&D game, and plan on working on my campaign setting book this summer. I am also roped into a couple of other creative projects, which I hopefully will be useful on.
So how am I doing?
I am doing beautifully. I am extrordinarily happy, though busy and still living in suburbia, those are the only two problems i have with my life right now, and I can easily cope with these. Everything is rosy and peachy, and appetizing on the whole. I am surrounded in love, and it is good.
Teleportation, time travel, and shapechanging are the only superpowers I have any use for anymore. Teleportation for saving time. Time travel to help deal with the problems of nostalgia, and shapeshifting is just always the best. The time travel will be exceptionally valuable soon. Graduation has a terrible ability to bring up feelings of nostalgia and longings for the past. Most of the people who ever knew me as a student will be graduating this year. I am getting alittle on the elder side. I can easily amaze rooms full of people with Tales back from the days. It's sick. I know more people who don't exist in the New College Consciousness than I do ones that do.
Par example, I am running a new D&D game, the plots so far are all taken from the old plots I started Xanthalus in. I am subbing out the specifics for mere approximations, but the story is the same. Instead of a band of Orcs randomly crossing the Elven Empire, a band of kobolds happens to cross their gnomish town. Right now they are chasing some rod with little idea of why, and from who. It isn't the Rod of War/Peace, it is the Rod of Libraries. It isn't desired to protect from war, but rather by people seeking knowledge. It won't however continue down the path of the old adventure. This is the last cross over plot before I start them down their own path. So yes, I have D&D on the brain.
Romance fills up the gaps between roleplaying and work, and if it were a more proper world, would take the majority of my time. On the plus side, I have sort of bound all three together though. My breaks at work are spent with loved ones, as well as my roleplaying. It is quite ideal.
Oh, and I have to plan a major bachelor party in the next couple weeks, so that will be exhausting/fun. Anyone want to e-mail me ideas, I am always open to new ideas. The changing times are approaching, and I must prepare for the time when time is not.
I am leaving out the major changes in my life, but on the sociable side, Bacc parties have started to an elegant beginning as MJ threw a 7 course dinner for a few of her friends. It was wonderful. Soon many more revelries will be beginning, but I haven't recieved word yet. I'll try to let everyone know, and maybe even update this thing more than once a moon.
