Huge Guts

chamomile kudzu, ???? — 10/08/08

you were sweet and toothless and i never got to see you cleaned up and i’m very sorry that you only got to hang out with my parents for a few weeks because they are incredibly sweet folks, good at scratchies and inclined to drizzle a little bacon fat on your kibble occasionally.

and new-cat-who-is-apparently-called-Boston-Blackie, i don’t blame you, even though you are the pugnacious, territorial type, and the day you got fixed you were so nasty that none of the other cats wanted to hang out in the case, and so you chased Chamomile and prince william out. Ok, i am kind of saying you were at least an efficient cause, but that hardly means you are actually responsible. You are a cat, responsibility is the mental category least applicable to the way you think. you do, however, owe me some serious goddamn nuzzles at this point.

my cleric isn’t very clerical, but he does some things very well. The game itself is mostly focused on choices about gear, it autoplays through an adventure over a period of time. It was apparently designed 1) for marketing 2) to expose people to the terminology and systems, which is an unusual kind of outreach, but one that’s probably necessary for something like Dungeons & Dragons. Since I began running a game at our lab, the most commonly asked question (after “Can I join?”) is “So how do you play, exactly?”, which is actually terrifying difficult to answer, since it can be framed as analogous to so many other things: MMOs, improvisational theatre, a very exciting boardgame match, writing collaborative fiction…

Anyways, while there’s no multiplayer mode, you can buff friends while they are on adventures, and since I keep getting whupped on by spiders and jerky guards, I could use some backup.
