You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Only three takers? Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

ya know, I was going to say, "Thanks again billytea for volunteering to be our wonderful GM" but you didn't explicitly state that you were once again taking the reins and I didn't want to assume. But HEY BUFFISTAS! billytea is an AMAZING GM and you should TOTALLY come play with us!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Sorry, man, but if you can't help me get this Black Friday promo merchandise in doors on time you are no good to me. If you can I will extoll to the skies and beyond!

Some aspects of my life could be a peculiar text-based adventure designed for a very limited market. t /weak attempt at being on topic

Explain to them that killer robots seek their destruction. Surely they will recognise where your priorities should lie!

Anyone heard of or played Artemis? One of my grad students was telling me about it. Pseudo Star Trek bridge crew game. Multi player. [link]

Ok, only three people have signed up for BSG so far. The time is clearly not auspicious. I'll put plans back on hold until after my exam, and see how people are placed then.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Unfortunately it's the inferior second game. (Which was still okay, but not excellent like the original.)

"A Dark Room", a text based game for iOS, is marked down to free. Quite addictive game. Old school. Give it a try.
