Drastic Perspective Change

June 6, 2009 by Donna

This is so funny to me. T and I played Warcraft last night with the friend I talked about in the last entry. He finally got his headphones to work, so we actually spoke with him--which amazes me. I know, I know. VOIP is an established thing. Still amazing. We found out he's 14. And now I'm not as keen to play with him. We're old enough to be his parents. Or, as Thomas … [Read more...] about Drastic Perspective Change

Real People in a Simulated World

June 4, 2009 by Donna

Last night I actually interacted at length with a real person while playing World of Warcraft. Seriously! Thomas and I have played with a coworker of his, but this was someone I've never met IRL before. I met him Monday night when I was getting killed about 8 times by ravagers, but I was barely civil, because, um, GETTING KILLED ABOUT 8 TIMES BY FREAKIN' RAVAGERS. Plus it was … [Read more...] about Real People in a Simulated World

Yeah, I’m a gamer

October 22, 2008 by Donna

Somehow, when I'm not playing, I can convince myself that D&D is not that big a deal, I can live without it, it's not as much fun since Mordecai became a gnome. Rationalizations, all. We played again after a month-long hiatus. I really do love the game. The interaction, the combat...the only thing that would've made it better would've been roleplay, but that's not really … [Read more...] about Yeah, I’m a gamer

Long time no post

September 4, 2007 by Donna

Gah, I've been so bad! Left Maggie and Emerson hanging and everything.A lot's happened since I last wrote, though, particularly the announcement of the 4th edition of D&D. I confess, I was a little freaked out by it. I mean, I have a CONSIDERABLE amount invested in 3.5 books. But the more I read about it, the more excited I am. Yeah, it means learning a new system, because … [Read more...] about Long time no post

IA Faeries Adventure

July 11, 2007 by Donna

At long last I got my wish--to play Imperial Age Faeries. The only problem with it was that it was too short. We finished up in 4 hours. Here are the highlights. Emerson and Maggie were finishing up a meager supper when they heard someone coming up the back stairs of their ramshackle squatting place--stairs which shouldn't have been able to support weight. Emerson attempted … [Read more...] about IA Faeries Adventure
