Greetings from the far reaches of the tabletop multiverse. I hope I am finding you all in good health and a merry mood! :)
It's been roughly two weeks since my last transmission... eh, blog post. It's been busy weeks, but also good ones.
Sadly nothing new to report from the 3.5 game I wrote about in my last post (you can read about that here). It has been on a sort of unplanned mini-hiatus since then, due to IRL things popping up for various people and having to postpone it until next time. I am hoping we can get back to it in the coming week though.
In the meantime I have actually finished a second D&D 3.5 character - a catfolk, knight/bard/inventor/rifle-user (it's my DM's world and my character belonging to a knightly order essentially has turned him into... that. XD lol ). It seems like it will be a fun character to play though. It's going to be a Saturday game, that will be a bit on/off, so not every Saturday. Essentially, I have no clue how often we'll play. I am just going to wait for my GM to tell me when we play. I am looking forward to it though, and to trying out playing this character. I had a lot of fun playing my Shugenja character in the other 3.5 campaign, and I am sure I will enjoy playing this one as well.
One of the 'features' I am looking forward to trying out with the new catfolk character is the fact that he delivers most of his spells via the medium of magical bullets from his flintlock rifle. Now, I have played a 'gun mage' before, in the Iron Kingdoms RPG, though I have a suspicion that this catfolk character is going to be less broken in combat than my IK character was. XD lol I won't go into too much detail about it. It is possible that in a different campaign that character would have been less broken in combat. After all, when I played her we were all new to IK, including the GM!
It can be difficult getting new games off the ground though. I have a Mutant Chronicles campaign sitting there waiting for an opening (using 1st and 2nd edition MC), as well as some other ideas that probably will have to wait even longer. The problem is all the players need to find the time for it, but generally when some have time other's don't. Though I guess this is an issue all GMs & DMs face at some point in their lives. There's no rush for me though. We'll get around to it whenever we get around to it. The campaign isn't going anywhere.
Right. I think that will be all from me for today.
Until next time!

A new game
Greetings friends! Good to see you all again on this side of the new year. Let's hope this will be a really good year for all!
Recently, I got involved in a D&D 3.5 game which has its basis in a fantasy version of the Chinese story Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I don't think we are trying to faithfully follow the story, mind you. It is more the setting we are using, with some minor tweaks. Never the less, it looks like a very interesting setting and I think we will be in for a fun ride! :)
Anyway, we are using the Oriental Adventures books for it, and I am playing a female Shugenja character. A class which I have never played before. We've only had one session of it so far, which ended up being roughly 6 hours long. I have to say that for that session at least, I was really enjoying playing a Shugenja!
At the start of the session we had our first battle. My Shugenja had a bit of a difficult time noticing what was going down though, because of some really bad dice rolling. Eventually though, she noticed something and went downstairs to see what was going on. Now, before the session I wasn't sure how I was going to enjoy playing a Shugenja. But once we got the session going and I got into my first combat, I felt much better about it. Her beam-type attacks and the flaming sphere really showed me she could be fun to work with. I do think though, that she will be better against several enemies rather than targeting a single enemy. We shall see though. She also has some out of combat utility spells that I am hoping she will find uses for. Though that will depend on what kind of game it evolves into being. If it is a game that focuses a lot on combat I might not be able to 'waste' the spell uses outside of combat, in which case I might have to re-build her a bit. But we shall see how it goes.
I think I will have a lot of fun with the character, though I am still trying to figure out her personality and such, and I need to get around to actually writing down a backstory for her. So far, all I know for certain is really that she is 20 years old, she's from Japan, she's a Shugenja, and she is nobility. She is also travelling with two other characters, one PC and an NPC, both of which are Samurai. I'll see if I can return with a better description of her here on the blog once I have her more fleshed out as a character.
Anyway, that will be all for me for this time.
Until next we meet, somewhere in the tabletop multiverse!
