Messing up is something I do so often.
darksiren's domaine | July 19th 2008 by Scylla Opal
Trying to run Emberdays yesterday sucked, again. I wish I would actually succeed more than I fail, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It seems ED is cursed with me being in my worst moods whenever I try to run it, lately. But then again, it could read more

Keiko on Writing | July 18th 2008 by D L Owens
We all want to achieve something in our lives but it is often the lot of mankind to only see the goal, not the process in between. I admit that I am one of those people, with plenty of goals but little in the way of planning. I am working on it thoug read more

A Butterfly Dreaming | July 18th 2008
Wizards of the Coast has released the first round of 4e errata. That was quick. A few highlights: Blade Cascade: This level 15 power became somewhat infamous for allowing almost arbitrarily long strings of attacks when the attack roll was boost read more
A Cogent Observation
A Butterfly Dreaming | July 17th 2008
Following the comments on Chatty DM’s “The Tyranny of Fun is a load of baloney” blog entry, I came across the following, from poster Donny: What is the biggest change in 4E? It’s not really the rules per se, its that there is no l read more
Going out! also DR, RP babble
darksiren's domaine | July 17th 2008 by Scylla Opal
Sorta... I mean it's not a big deal, just going to the mall to get the D&D 4e books and maybe a bite to eat. Speaking of 4e, I ran some of Roguelike Adventures and Kalli really liked it ^^ So that was nice to know. She said I'm better than 90% of read more
The Absurdity of “The Tyranny of Fun”
A Butterfly Dreaming | July 16th 2008
There’s a recent argument regarding the perceived absurdity of certain 4e rules. The focus of this argument is “The Tyranny of Fun,” as one of its proponents put it — a phrase that seems to be propagating a bit. The origin read more
Too hot x.x RPs and Drupal upgrade imminent!
darksiren's domaine | July 16th 2008 by Scylla Opal
Ugh... for some reason I'm way too hot, even though it's 2 am and I have the huge fan at my back. I think I must just be stressed out. :/ Some difficult stuff happened (not to me, though) that got me all tensed up. So I'm gonna lie down soon. I spent read more
Skybreaker session 3: Rocks and Hard Places
A Butterfly Dreaming | July 14th 2008
When we last left our motley band, they were trapped between a barricaded bunch of kobolds with crossbows (and who knows what else) and the shuffling approach of things as yet unseen, but likely to strongly resemble zombies or some other such undead read more

Iyadali post, and Huntress (RPoL games)
darksiren's domaine | July 12th 2008 by Scylla Opal
Kalli wanted to see this, so here it is. It's one of my longest posts for Iya... a ritual sacrifice to a Storm Mother of the West. You don't want to offend a god of sea storms when you're sailing in the middle of her domain. :O That's just bad juju. read more
Dragonrealms training... father thoughts...
darksiren's domaine | July 9th 2008 by Scylla Opal
Mostly I was playing DR yesterday (and this early morning). Oh, and I did play a bit of Rosalia with Nekira, too. There was a week timeskip so now she's noticing her servants getting ominously ill... dun dun dun! At one point in the afternoon I came read more
4e Monk project update
A Butterfly Dreaming | July 8th 2008
I updated my 4e Monk class somewhat. Many of the powers were balanced around the assumption that a monk would be using a 1d6 attack and would not have access to striker bonus damage. The first assumption was untrue because of their proficiencies, a read more
Inappropriately guilty (guilty guilty)
darksiren's domaine | July 8th 2008 by Scylla Opal
(Named thus because I was writing this while listening to Diamanda's Guilty Guilty Guilty.) I didn't like the Emberdays session this time. I have to confess it was really hard for me to run. I just don't have much confidence in it, I guess? But I did read more
So tired.
darksiren's domaine | July 7th 2008 by Scylla Opal
Ugh. I haven't written for too long. Well, 4 days is long to me. I'd been stressing over writing the Reborn Again stuff I posted on my wiki last night. I'm not even DONE with it all and I'm all worn out from writing it. Mostly because I had to try to read more

A Butterfly Dreaming | July 6th 2008
After a week’s break thanks to some real-life issues, we got back to our Skybreaker campaign yesterday. Having learned about the kobold incursions, our party’s next step was fairly obvious: visit the mine and see what we could discover read more

More Death Knight news and clarifications | July 6th 2008 by jeems
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Breakfast topics, Wrath of the Lich KingBeing a roleplayer, I spend a lot of time thinking about my characters in the context of the world, rather than just pumping their stats. Sometimes I regret making certain chara read more
“D&D 4th Edition Core Rulebook Collection,” by James Wyatt, R…
Errant Dreams Reviews | July 4th 2008 by Heather Grove
Overall, I'm disappointed in D&D 4th edition. For now, my campaign is going to stay based on 3.5. I think I could make a good game out of it, but it would take more effort in house rules than I'm willing to put in. read more
Out for today~

Gonna spend some much needed time outside. It always seems like such a big event with me. OMG, I actually *GO OUTSIDE!* Le gasp! :P As I mentioned earlier I want to go buy a hardcopy of BESM 3rd. So I can only hope it's actually there at the store I' read more
Class Design for 4th Edition
A Butterfly Dreaming | July 2nd 2008
Working up an entirely new class for 4th edition is an interesting experience. In some respects, it’s a more complicated process than 3rd edition; in other ways, it’s simpler. A couple of thoughts on what my ongoing work on a 4e monk read more

Bad day + new Abby chara
darksiren's domaine | June 30th 2008 by Scylla Opal
Had to cancel Emberdays session. :/ Things were going bad for a while, until late this afternoon. I'll explain later, maybe. I'm not sure yet how much I want to explain of it. I'm mostly okay, though. I just need some time to myself right now. =_= I' read more
On roleplaying, and why I don’t RP in WoW
Banana Shoulders | June 30th 2008 by Eleanor Holmes
I just read a very interesting post on WoWInsider talking about what roleplayers want that Blizzard’s not giving them. In summary, the article said that what RPers want …is customization. They want to create items and spaces which are al read more

No headway on the writing front but I did finish that Patti O'Shea book in two days, it was that good. I also started working on a new D&D game today without telling the hubby. He was giving me a rough time about not working on the previous game, and read more
