SWTOR: Rix’larril’an of the Ascendancy 2.03 – Compound Fracture

Instead of trekking back through the jungle to The Wall, I borrow one of the Revanites’ speeders and visit the Chiss Embassy. I’m a bit rankled that Intelligence didn’t provide me with transportation. While it is true most locations, no matter how remote, seem to have some minimal form of public transportation available, I seem […]

DM of the Rings Remaster LIV: Get Shorty

I could not figure out a way to put Liv Tyler into episode LIV. Pity. But I did manage to work Danny DeVito in there, which was kind of unexpected. –Shamus, Friday Jan 22, 2007 Man, I think I was sick when the comic’s original post date lapped us. He posted twice a week, we […]

Code Monkey Beta: Part 2

While the visual code being translated to script won’t solve any social issues, it does have its uses. The exchange provides a very important bridge between the colorful stimulus loving meat brain and the needed rigidity to instruct the box to do what you need. With the neat side effect of looking a lot more […]

Wednesday Action Log 1-10-24

One of […]

DM of the Rings Remaster LIII: Waste Not, Want Not

Don’t get too hung up on horses. While the rulebooks have all sorts of rules for movement speeds while on foot, encumbered, or riding, the truth is that all travel takes exactly as long as the DM wants it to. This brings to mind the wise old saying: “A player is never late, Dave. Nor […]

Code Monkey Beta: Part 1

This week Bay has once again found themself laid up. This time it’s with a fun combination of strep, two ear infections that the good doctor referred to as ‘acute’, which is a fun way to say ‘very bad’. and a fun flare-up as a result of not being able to keep anything down for […]

Wednesday Action Log 1-3-24

This week I’m still playing Tears of the Kingdom. I finally got around to finishing the last temple and getting all of the sages…I don’t like any of the powers they have. They are all niche uses and when I do want to use them it’s tied to an NPC. I hate having an NPC […]
