Weekend, in brief:

[dreamling]

Friday, wandered the mall, bought season 2 Buffy DVD set at circuit city for 45$, after seeing that Borders was charging 62$...
Watched 4 episodes of Buffy, played with new art paper, sketched/inked basic sketch.

Saturday, slept way later than I wanted, watched husband play lots of Brute Force on Xbox. Chris came over and showed me Wario Ware, which I played on his GBASP for a couple hours. Game is addictive. Want it. Also, really wanting GBASP screen... might get a red GBASP when they come out. Ate yummy Penne Rosa with Tofu from Noodles and Co. At one point on Saturday, the three of us were all playing different game systems, in the same room. Carlo on the Xbox, Chris on his PSone with LCD screen, and me on the SP. geeks, we are.

Sunday, stupid scheduling mess. Did watch several more Buffy with Husband. Managed to visit with both fathers, miscommunicated with gaming group. no gaming. :( stressed about work to loving husband. Did get a call for Comic work at the smuga's , which did improve mood.

mmmm... season 2 is good. drawing is good. sounds like a nice, fairly chill weekend (except for the daddy's day madness)

Borders is always pricey for videos and music compared to Best Buy or Circuit City. The only reason to buy either at Borders is if you can't find it at one of the others.

ps, yay for geeking out! I've gotten back into RPing (D&D, etc.) in the last couple of years, toying with the idea of starting to write up game material because otherwise my head would explode from Ideas.

pps, this is Dave from your mindcrime.org days, in case you were wondering who the random wacko is. Maybe one of these days I'll even start it up again ;)

Then you simply must take a look at this wizard's staff I've been toying with for a while now.

Basically it is meant to realize the standard wizard as portrayed in popular fantasy books and movies, i.e. much casting of spells with no visible sign other than a mysterious look or mystic wave of hand. The Metamagic feats in 3rd Edition go a long way toward realizing this, but the staff lumps various mechanics together under a single umbrella that (hopefully) fits this archetype in ways that make sense from both a storytelling and game mechanics point of view. Feel free to pass around and playtest with your gaming friends; I don't play wizards much so I want to make sure it's viewed with more critical eyes than mine.

ps, good to bump into you again :)

wow, that's quite a write up. I've never played a wizard, I'll have to pass that along to my hubby. I tend to favor the rogue/bard classes recently. ;)

Yeah, I'm much more inclined toward rogues as well. My highest character right now is a half-elf Rog9/Sor3 and he is a lot of fun to play. I'm playing a Rog2/Ftr2 in a different campaign, he's my Indiana Jones style bounty hunter guy and looks like he has a lot of promise :)
