Advanced level Mass Effect roleplay

I'd at least be interested to hear what's up.

The Sunday Group

@FantasyChic Yeah, it never does.

The Sunday Group

@FantasyChic Lol, it's NaNoWriMo. National November Writing Month. You're supposed to try to write 50,000 words within 30 days.

You know, I actually did originally write Morgan for a NaNo a few years ago. I could never quite figure out what story to put her in, so I just occasionally polished who I thought she was and where she came from, and kept her on the shelf as a "maybe I'll figure this out someday." I have a couple of characters like that.

I had planned on writing modern fantasy for this year, but I wound up more interested in outlining something rather different. Maybe Morgan will show up in a full story of her own sometime, but it won't be NaNo - this time, anyway.

@Naril

I love that! I sometimes use my story characters for RP's to practice for them as well. I haven't been doing great with NaNo this year. Every little bit helps, though.

What Are You Listening To?

The Book Club

So while I was at the lake, I took it upon myself to get some reading done and I picked up a book I've had for a year but hadn't bothered to read yet.

The Roman World (Nonfiction, Second Edition) by Colin Wells. I have to admit I was somewhat looking forward to coming back home so I could expand on how good of a book this is. It covers the Roman Period from the years 44 B.C. to 235 A.D. beginning with Octavian who would later be known as Augustus Caesar and his power plays, the first part of the book concluding with a vivid account of the war between him and Marcus Antony who married Cleopatra. The book has many, many sources to use for any aspiring historian, and you can also tell the author took his time in his investigations and research on answering the many queries of the time, exploring government, military, and civilian life. He has an intelligent and somewhat posh way of speaking (which is why the next part made me lol at 2 A.M.). Although I will tell you the part that made me fall in love with the book was when it actually bothered to quote a letter written by Antony to Octavian when the latter was spreading propaganda about his fornicating with a foreigner.

What's come over you? That I'm screwing the Queen? We're married. Is it anything new? It's been going on for 9 years. Is Livia Drusilla the only one you're screwing? Good luck to you if you haven't screwed Tertulla or Terentilla or Rufilla o Salvia Titisenia or all of them by the time you read this. Does it matter when you have it away, and who with?

New and need group

Welcome, my friend.

Buccaneers and Blades (Fantasy, High Casual)

"Right," Galen said, seeing the crew was just about to get mingling. That would be fine on their off-time, but those who had duties needed to get with it. The handsome quartermaster turned his gaze upwards, shielding his eyes. "Jax, we all clear!?" He called up to the Elf.

The bare chested Elf called back town with a raised hand. "Aye sir! Tha seas are as sober as me own grandfather!"

Galen would take that as a 'yes' and swiftly switched gears, pointing to the sailors of the crew (Vaia, Vaeri, Zahir, Ed, and Eladar). "Hoist the sails!" Galen called, grabbing a loose rope and pulling on it to lift his feet up on the railing of the sterncastle. He stood tall above the crew, wind causing his hair to sway as he barked orders to get them underway, his demeanor shifting from casual to orderly in the blink of an eye. He pointed to Zahir specifically when he called. "Haul the anchor!"

"Do it ye scaberous dogs!" Sketti roared to get the crew into moving. Once that was through with, the Dwarf would walk over to where the main mast was, feeling the wood and making sure the timber was sturdy for the umpteenth time as the sailors hauled and heaved next to him.

Eladar was near the prow of the ship, unfastening ropes with a knife in his mouth, flipping them onto his shoulder in a large, thick loop before climbing up one of the spiderweb-like tangles of rope, fit arms prominent from carrying the full weight of his body, dark hair hanging beneath him.

Galen turned his head, glancing toward Loren. "And with that, it's your show." He said, giving a nod. He leaped off the railing to the deck a dozen feet below, using the rope he held to slow his descent. He smoothly landed just by Sage, running a hand through his hair as he regarded her. "Now," he said to her, dark eyes glinting. "As the healer, you'll have your own room down from the cooking area. We won't need too much from you at the moment until battle, or someone gets scurvy." He added with a wink.

"If you have any questions, my cabin's always open."

Star Wars: The Rise of Okussus

Can't promise I'd have the time, but this looks cool.
