Subject: *fades in*
Ok, here's a thought I had wile chatting with Jozan and Shield. Something I always wanted to do, and damn if it isn't the kinda thing I'd want Grugg to run.
I've been spending a bit too much time diving into homebrew classes lately. The themes are cool, but the recurring result is always 'Too Unbalancing'. But some of these things deserve to see play, just for the spectacle of it.
I don't know how much work it would end up being, but I'd love to have a campaign that was sort of high-fantasy Avengers. All of the characters are completely broken on their own. Together, they'd slaughter the standard campaign boss. But the villain is still so dang cool and overpowered, they're all necessary.
To clarify, yes. I'm asking to take on Draconic/Demonic/ExtraPlanar Thanos. It'd be a blast.

I will weep salty tears of anguish in a never ending river of misery cascading into a waterfall of broken dreams if Fortune's Favored is dead.
Then I'll join your new game. Superhero's sounds fun. I'd be up for classic fantasy too though. It'll just be nice to have you running a game again.

Topic: Prometheans: Genesis (The Reboot)
Subject: Those in glass houses.....
Swipe the card. Clock in. Hat. Apron.
Walk into kitchen. Ignore morons. Check what last shift didn't do.
Almost everything. Same as always.
Fix their mistakes. Clean up. Put burgers on grill. Wait. Flip. Wait. Take burgers off grill. Wait.
That was all well and good. But it only took half an hour. He had another seven or eight to go.
Working fast food wasn't as bad as he'd thought it would be. It wasn't good. Not at all. But it was tolerable. Mostly. When this happens, do that. When that happens, do this. Again and again, ad infinitum. Simple to pick up on. Simple to execute. Low pay, but it got the bills taken care of. Just.
There were two dull spots in the otherwise... adequately lit portrait that was, metaphorically, his job. The first, most expected, and easiest to deal with, were his coworkers. Jason Blake had graduated high school just over seven years ago. Seven. Whole. Years. His coworkers (which was a bit of a misnomer, seeing as they did almost zero work) were, for the most part still in high school. A phase of life that, as has been established, Jason left behind. Seven. Years. Ago. There are few tortures as brutal as taking an adult, even a young adult, and putting them in a room full of teenagers. Telling them they're not allowed to leave for eight hours? Jason was pretty sure that toed the lines set down by the Geneva Convention.
But he could deal with them. He'd force himself to do so. A few blank stares, the occasional raised eyebrow, and a complete non-reaction to the never-ending stream of penis jokes later, and they finally got the message to leave him the hell alone. Some days he thought he'd kill for someone with more sense than hormones to talk to.
Even so, his idiot coworkers were only the second worst thing about his job. The second dull spot was the boredom. The absolute, inescapable, utterly crushing boredom. Jason was a man who lived in his own head. As a kid he'd preferred reading over running. Listening over talking. Math over gym. He had a good mind, even if it had taken life a few years too many to get him to apply it to things other than entertainment. And he was now going to spend eight hours in a small room full of wasted intellectual potential, where the most complicated thing he'd have to worry about was how many burgers he could flip before needing to change his grip on the spatula to avoid wrist-strain.
The answer was about 23, give or take. All patties are not created equal.
Jason gave the first of many sighs that would be forthcoming today. Fourth of July. It was going to be a massacre in this kitchen tonight. And for all that they'd be busy, he'd still have entirely too much time to think. To wonder. To wish.
He shook his head. Those thoughts were brought on by old habits. But things were different now, weren't they? Not the work itself. Never that. But everything outside this stainless steel prison? It had ALL changed. It had taken him too long to get control over his life, but that had only been half the battle. That had left him in control of the next step above nothing. But now.... now he had options.
Jason didn't know what he'd do, which one he'd pick. But that was part of the beauty, wasn't it? He didn't have to know now. He could decide later.
At long last, nobody controlled his choices but him.

Grugg, you're awesome. We've missed having you around more than we can convey.
And your writing is top notch. It inspires a lot of my own.
Which I almost never finish, because I pretty much suck.
Post is almost done. Need to get in touch with Silent. Missed her tonight, due to working late.
Should be up later today.

@Grugg
Its so good to see you back. I'm glad you're feeling well enough to play a game with us.
And I don't know why you're surprised. I've never seen a game you had a part in that moved slow, in the qna.....

Topic: Roll Call
Subject: *fades in*
Yo. Chessic here. Been here for a year or two, but still pretty new to tabletop rpg's. Flaked pretty hard on my last game, just got done giving an apology to that group.
I like most games on here that give room for player interaction. I'm most comfortable in D&D 3.5, as thats the system I learned in, but I do my best not to be too picky about that. Pet peeves are games where the GM is so 'hands-off' we players have no idea what to do next(a problem that has rarely happened on here, and bugs me just as much as railroading, honestly), and GM's who set out to team wipe for whatever reason (thus far only a problem in real life).
I'd like to join back in with some games soon. I have a penchant for fantasy, usually high magic, but that's mostly been because of availability, really. Bonus points to games that are juuuuust loose enough to at least consider Rule of Cool. Because, in the end, if my character's gonna die, then by God they're gonna die in such a manner the whole group will remember it years later.
I mean, what good is living your own story if nobody ever tells it again?

Topic: The Lost Mine of Phandelver Q&A
Subject: A Formal Apology
My apologies to all. When I joined this game, I was a little concerned with how a game set in in unfamiliar system that was less character driven would hold my interest. I almost immediately found myself drifting out of it. That isn't anyone's fault but mine. The action oriented, dungeon-runner style of gameplay his hard for me online. This doesn't excuse anything though.
As soon as I felt myself drifting away, I should have contacted Lano and left the game. Instead I just stopped showing up to the inn. This was disrespectful to GM and players alike. Not only did it slow you all down considerably, it was down right rude, something I usually try to avoid. I have no excuse for this either.
Please don't think this is a reflection of the game, Lano. Its a style compatibility thing, and a Chessic-is-being-a-dick thing.
So again, to the group: I'm sorry.

Subject: Trouble?
Theren frowned as he saw the caravan come to a stop. There were no sounds of battle, but an unscheduled stop on this road was never a good thing.
He could here raised voices in that direction, but make out no words. Theren picked up his pace to join the rest of the group and discover what had happened.

Topic: The Lost Mine of Phandelver
Subject: Monk-y business, so serious
Theren sighed to himself as he listened to the other make whatever small talk interested them. He had always enjoyed the company of others, but years of near-seclusion ended up having even more effect on him than he would have guessed. Once upon a time, he would have been in the middle of the group, talking and laughing and joking to his heart's content. Now he trailed the caravan a ways, mildly uncomfortable with so many people nearby and no ways to get peace, short of abandoning the job.
Theren shook his head. He get back into the spirit of things, it was just a matter time. No need to worry. In the mean time he'd keep a lookout behind the group. No reason to get careless on a road known to be a bandit haven.

Jacob look around uneasily as the crowd stirred itself around him. If something wasn't said immediately, it would be too late to say it.
Jacob sighed to himself. He hated jumping into other people's business, but he needed to know. They would want to know.
Raising his voice above the crowd, he spoke. "Eoghain, before justice is wrought, could I speak with you, please?"

Topic: Slate Q&A Thread
Subject: A thought occurs
My character's been all over our little area. How well known would you say he is? Not famous, obviously, but would any have heard of him?
I ask only to determine the start of my next post. I could try my hand at rabble-rousing, give a big speech and such. But if nobody's heard of him, Jacob wouldn't bother. On the other hand, if a few of the important people know him and (hopefully) respect him a bit, then he'll ask the leaders for a bit of their time, figuring on the shine of bringing water back to get the request granted.
Thoughts, Schnozzle?
