Also, would anyone care to join me? ^_-

Anyway, for those who are curious, here's my contribution to Battle College, for as long as my contribution remains unchanged, anyway:

Mage Hunter Assassin

Does this count as geeky even for me?

The zebra-striped thing threatening to eat my poor Scion belongs to darksidecookie, who needed help moving it. I was glad to help, though I'm really not used to driving without my rearview mirror. It felt pretty claustrophobic, actually, but car, driver, and poof chair made it in one piece ^_^

Next month: Black Beauty by Anna Sewell.

The hotel was the Hyatt Regency on the St. Louis Riverfront, which is one of the nicest hotels (if not the nicest) I've ever stayed in. The food was overabundant and excellent; needless to say, I did not go hungry there.

Of course, there were drawbacks to my time there; the most obvious for me being the lost time to write my NaNoWriMo novel. As of November 6, I'm at 2500 words, which is about a quarter of what I need to have written ^_^;; Hopefully inspiration will strike soon; otherwise, I'll have a partially-finished novel at the end of the month......

I remembered talking about it with him, but I'd forgotten when it was. And given everything going on in my life recently, I completely forgot about it.

So now I'm scrambling to make sure my days are covered (I'll be gone through Thursday), and hopefully will get my laundry done tonight so I'll have everything ready to go tomorrow afternoon.

Maybe this means I'm becoming a curmudgeon as well......

For those of you familiar with HERO or Champions, you'll recall that it's a very number-intensive game which allows players to tailor their characters' abilities exactly the way they want them to be. Which means it's also a pain in the neck to do the math ^_^;; This hasn't changed in 6E; the system's still pretty much what it's always been, though some things have been simplified (Comeliness is no longer a stat, for instance).

However, it's obviously a system which has evolved over the years rather than drastically rewriting everything a la D&D. This is obvious in the thickness of the previous edition, which could stop low-caliber bullets. And in the new edition, that's the thickness of Volume 1--yes, it's been split up into two titanic tomes, the first (and larger) containing character creation, and the second containing the rules on playing in the environment. It's a massive investment (in more ways than one), but it's worth it, assuming you can find anyone not intimidated by the size of the rulebooks and the sheer amount of stats in the game......
