fair warning about something ...

so, i'm pretty sure we're going to be playing a new rpg soon, and i'm pretty sure we're going to try putting the sessions up here on my blog, just so everyone knows that's coming.

the game looks really cool, and i'm sort of happy with how my character turned out when I rolled him up. it didn't exactly go how i wanted, because i wanted him to be an old wizard with a bunch of badass knowledge skills, but when i rolled up my ability scores, the modifiers for being "old" were totally going to screw him. i mean, he was going to be an especially sucky character, with barely any hit points and a bad agility that would keep him from dodging monsters and not actually a super-great amount of these will points that are what he uses to cast his spells. so instead i made him "young" and he's definitely not great at magicking stuff and he doesn't have any of the cool knowledge-y skills i expected but at least he's pretty spry and can duck out of the way of incoming monster swipes, and also has a couple more hit points to keep him alive if he does get hit.

hmm ... i guess that doesn't sound like i'm nearly as excited about playing as i actually am. like i said, i ended up mostly happy with the character because now he can be kind of a reckless young goof instead of a smartypants old grump.

and it's really a lot more about having fun playing with my yams, which is something i really, really love.

they're awesome in so many ways.

so stay tuned!
