Me = Posting Too Often, Maybe

Isaac came over, and we played a little D&D to try and catch his character up with everyone else, since he's been missing so many games due to football and family obligations and... sleeping through his alarm and his telephone ringing, the lazy bastard.

Anyway, it was fun. He played Mobaraak, of course, being as how that's his character. Jameson played Emlyn (and cast fireball, like, twice. Go Emlyn's fireball!). I played Ametrine, a little, and also four bugbears, a half-dragon (the prefab one in the MM, nothing fancy), a digester and a hill giant. There was much spitting of acid, and also smashing.

The half-dragon battle was pretty entertaining.
"None shall pass!" I said, trying to look closer to seven feet tall, and also more draconic.
"You picked the wrong guy to mess with!" Isaac, speaking as Mob, declared, and rolled up some decent damage, moving to try and avoid breath weapon problems. Unfortunately for Mob and Emlyn, the terrain was nice and open, and the half-dragon was able to line them up pretty easily.
"NONE SHALL PASS!" I roared, standing up and making a dramatic gesture with my arms, after rolling the 8d10 worth of acid damage.
It felt good. They totally whacked the poor half-dragon within two rounds, though.

Actually, they totally whacked everything. Jameson, bizarrely, kept rolling critical hits. Four combats, lasting something like three to four rounds, each, and he rolled seven criticals. On the hill giant, he did two in a row. Isaac's in-character responses were awesome. Listening to Mobaraak compliment Emlyn on his mad battle skillz totally cracked me up.

It was, indeed, a good time, as Dungeons and Dragons so often is.

I want to be writing the 22nd Valmai Hammerhand story right now. I've got the first paragraph. I played D&D just a short while ago. I've got tons of CDs of vaguely depressing, angsty music. I have Mountain Dew, and salt and vinegar chips, and even expensive chocolate... But, I dunno. It's just not flowing. So I'm writing this random little post about half-dragons and whatever, instead. Blech.

Nerd Test

I'm always kinda dissapointed by my low scores on these things... Which prolly means that I ought to be scoring higher. Anyway:




I'm at work, hating filing, and chatting with graynonymous and kazulanth on Magrathea right now. The chatting part is fun. The filing part is, as always, not fun. I'm also compulsively checking my email, and feeling bad that no one is breaking down my door to tell me which story is their favorite... *dramatic sniffling follows*

Anyway, on the off-chance that other people who are reading my lj right now are probably as bored as I am, I am going to recommend a few time-killers right now, and maybe you'll feel so indebted to me that you'll entertain me.

"Time does not die! Only people!"

Ok, sorry, had to give in to the Christophe moment there, for a bit...

If you'd like to read something awful/hilarious, might I recommend "Oo-De-Lally" by kphoebe? Or perhaps this drabble by amanuensis1 who also made my totally spiffy new icon.

And I want to pimp the awesome serials "Dash Dart" and "My Final Wintertime" over on tucson_writers by quatrelenium and moon_fox, respectively. I think you can get started on those by clicking here.

Ok, your turn. Rec me something. Comment. Tell me a joke. Entertain me, please!
