about that time again

So it's been about 80 billion years since I updated this thing, and since it's something of a busy week, I thought I'd post something

Congratulations on the weight-loss! It sounds like what you're doing is working really well for you ^_^

And goodluck on the Yahoo! job :) I hope you get that better pay and you end up with a job you enjoy.

It's nice to hear from you! Good luck on the Yahoo job. :D

Congrats!!

Any day now you'll feel up to being on a bike. And then I will make you put your bike on the max and I will meet you downtown and we'll ride places.

Or we could go on the Midnight Mystery Ride--I think it's the third Friday of every month? Meets somewhere in Portland, leaves at midnight, the destination is....a mystery! It's fun. :^)

It's less whether I feel up to it and more if the bike feels up to it. Give me a few months yet, I'll get there.

*can't wait*

Even in BeaverTron, having a bike is just very freeing. You can get anywhere! By yourself! On your own schedule! Without paying for gas! Wheeee!

Is Scion based on the World of Darkness core book in the same mode as Mage & Vampire?

[mechalith]

No, it's based on the Exalted variation on the Storyteller system actually. Similar enough that you could easily learn one after playing the other, but different (and a bit more complex) enough that it would take a little getting used to. It's set in a place that bears some resemblance to the World of Darkness, but the focus is on the various Pantheons struggling against the Titans and their children... lotsa fun.

(and since my character is the child of Huitzilopotchli I get to practice pronouncing Nahuatl names for gods in the bargain)

ok, thanks. I'm still getting my bearings in the pen & paper world. So far I've read WoD (all), Mage (most) & Vampire (some), as well as Unhallowed Metropolis. But I've not actually gotten to play any of them. I have the books (and the dice), but not actual people willing to invest themselves into it.

[mechalith]

Not familiar with UnMet, except in concept. I'd certainly be willing to jump in if you ever try to get a game together, but it'd have to be on a day I'm not already doing something.

I'd invite you to pitch in on one of our sessions, but my current primary group is 8 people, and that's about the most a game can handle without serious issues. 4-6 seems to be the best setup for most things.

Congrats on the weight loss, that is awesome!
