Stuff of Legends

Hey. Hey you. Do you like good books?  Do you like books in which there is ass-kicking, magic, hot elf chicks, evil wizards, bards, pissed-off dragons, and famous warriors?  Do you like laughing so hard people give you funny looks on public transportation? Then you probably ought to go pick up Stuff of Legends by [...]

Friday Fic: Mama Don’t Go.

((A precursor to Jak Balthasar and Yva Darrows leaving for the Icecrown battle.)) “I can’t find my fucking shoes, Jakob.” “Yva, the lich king doesn’t give a horses’s arse what shoes you’re wearing. JUST PUT SOMETHING ON.” She stormed past him – tried to shoulder past him, really, but that failed spectacularly considering how large [...]

Things I’ve learned about major rp arcs:

1) You can’t make everyone participate, even if you want to. You can’t make everyone interested, or commit their time to your project. 2) One dissenting voice can change everything, for better or for worse. If you’re running a story, and it’s your story, be ready to break some eggs and make some omelets, because [...]

Monday Afternoon Fun: The Box

Upon returning home at the end of the night, your character finds… a box before his or her door.  It’s rather common-looking, as boxes go — a simple wooden crate, about two feet on a side.  There are no markings telling its point of origin, but your name’s stamped in big, block letters right on [...]

Sneaky Saturday: Neener Neener

Quick question: What races does your toon just not like? Bricu (and Threnn) have nothing but negative feelings for Blood Elves (like this one): Their antipathy stems from a number of interactions with some less-than-savory Belves, and an interesting bit of random RP during BC, when a new Draenei character nearly died to a Blood [...]

Victory in Real-ID Day

I commissioned a post-it note portrait by the talented Lore given the news that RealID isn’t going to be implemented yet. Given that we won a battle today, I figure this is an appropriate time, and place, to share the celebration picture. And yes, that’s Bricu and Threnn. Gold star to anyone who recognizes the [...]

A Sigh of Relief — Blizzard Does the Right Thing

Taken from Nethaera’s post here. Hello everyone, I’d like to take some time to speak with all of you regarding our desire to make the Blizzard forums a better place for players to discuss our games. We’ve been constantly monitoring the feedback you’ve given us, as well as internally discussing your concerns about the use [...]

You know what I’m going to talk about.

I have a huge amount of respect for This Lady. Not only has she put heart and soul into a blog I enjoy reading, she’s become a good friend. We ran a ten man ICC together, we’ve spammed healer chat together, we’ve bitched about things, swapped recipes and animal stories. We’ve planned rp, co-written rp, [...]

More Real ID

Today, in protest of the Real ID Fiasco-and believe me, this is now Fiasco Status–I canceled my Star Craft 2 Collectors Edition Pre Order.

Another Idea: An Open Letter

Hey Blizzard- All this hullabaloo over Real ID and Facebook shows that this social-network idea isn’t really your thing. Your thing is: 1) Come up with a game including: A) A Good Story B) Balanced Mechanics C) Pretty Graphics 2) Maintaining The Game. 3) Building Fans That’s it. That’s what you do well. Don’t discount [...]
