Sean, I want to meet with you to create my character, for lo I am slow.
Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Happy Birthday Sean!!
Sorry you didn't get to join us for games this weekend. Fun was had. Must come back (and not have horrific traffic, not get a parking ticket, and, most importantly, not scrape the side of my car in a tight parking lot).

And we got megan walker in our house for a WHOLE WEEKEND! You may commence with the jealousy.
Sorry to hear about the car, though!

Well, I guess I've had such good luck with all the rentals I've had over the last few years, it was bound to end.
Amex seems to be on top of things though so hopefully they will take care of everything. And I just wrote a lovely letter to the city of Pasadena.
Otherwise, it was a great trip. I'm just going to pretend that Miracleman finished his transporter and I beamed from place to place.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I had a nightmare last night. Jim and Dwight were sword fighting on the deck of the Queen Mary and Pam was trying to get them to stop and then Jim got stabbed and there was blood everywhere and Jim was dead and then Pam was bleeding too. It was horrible. Probably wouldn't work for your Eberron campaign, though.

Happy Birthday Sean!
There was an old CoC Dreamlands adventure that had some awesome nightmares, from just good imagery (Leonardo in his ornithopter, exclaiming "It flies!"...and then the ground opened up and ate him) to the ickily personal (character's parent vamps out on the character with all sorts of sexual overtones).
At least, I thought they were pretty potent back in the day. Post-internet, when I can get goatse and bukake and tentacle porn by careless link-clicking...

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

Nonetheless, they should probably remain on their guard should I introduce them to any NPC called Dwight.
Actually, the big threat in this campaign is a bound fiend from the Age of Demons that I refer to as Gift of Release. At the moment all the party really knows about it is its symbol. I've used the first character in the Chinese word for 'penguin'.

Hee. Wallybee and I are almost up to the ep where Spike recalls vamping his mother. Maybe I should take notes.
I do like the idea of making it about a PC's parents. I'm working a similar theme in one of the nightmares I've already got. Oh, and one of the changelings, I'm thinking a nightmare where she keeps losing control of her face, and it starts melting like plasticine over her skull. She needs to exert conscious control to reestablish proper structure - otherwise, her skin melts over her eyes, ears, nose and mouth, blinding and suffocating her. Each time it starts, it's harder to reverse.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You do realize I totally misread this.
