Development and Losses

Things are slowly going forward in many areas. I’m getting money and things are becoming more and more stable thanks to both that and some breakfast. With energy life becomes so much brighter and more interesting in many aspects, not to mention that when I am feeling good and playing RPG I tend to feel even better afterwards.

But as things go forward other things tend to disappear. Some lose their character and with that they decide to move forward by moving on to another character. This is a loss, but also a win. This gives away a lot of new interesting opportunities and if you look on this right this is for the better in the end. The developing goes forward and new things will lead to new experiences that will stimulate.

Of course I’m talking about RPG right now, but what else can I do actually? My life revolves around this thing and will most likely do until I find something better to do. But this is my only way to be with Robert right now and also my only efficient way to have any outlet for all my creativity and imagination. It would be a shame just to waste it all on daydreams.

Speaking of Robert, today I had quite a good session with the kids that were pretty funny. I’m not sure the kids really understood what really happened and the sarcasm in the whole thing but to me the whole chains of events played out better than I had imagined and with my way of playing with the kids it’s really funny to see how things can turn out just by the small things. The best thing is how ordinary their lives are, but even so just small ordinary events for this world makes everything so interesting and the world really seem and feel real somehow.

Other than this I really try to help them become better as players and what can I do other than really become impressed and proud of both of them when they try their hardest and it really pays off! The feeling you get when you watch them play trying to follow my advice and when they succeed, is so immense that only that feeling is something that can fill you with joy for eternity, not to mention that when Robert achieve something I tend to become like that generally, when he achieve something big one can not do anything than swell up with pride over him, even though he doesn’t seem to care about it all the time, but well, it’s a nice feeling anyway.

Well, Ankan have started his character creation now as you all know. This have went fairly well, but as always when we do things like this it takes time mostly due to the processing that is needed before proceeding to the next step. He has a great concept and a great motivation for this character that is in perfect sync with my wishes for the game. It’s only too bad that he will play in the third epoch, because it feels like it would have been funnier in some way to play in the first. Though in many other ways the opportunities that will present itself right now in implementing both the tradition as well as the world events in this time will most likely be almost as interesting.

I have now to change some things and finish some others for the next session with Ankan. As many of you have seen I will not play anything this weekend. Drak is having his birthday tomorrow and have invited me to a party and I’m only able to play before 15:00 and therefore I decided not to play at all tomorrow. And due to this I will most likely not come back home to Luleå before 12-13 on Sunday and then I have a meeting during the evening to get some money so I will only be able to play around 14-16 and then from 20-23 so I decided to work instead on things that is necessary instead; like preparing all the next sessions and so on.

About next week, I hope that you will take the initiative to get your sessions. Foppa and PB will need two to three sessions each and Ankan won’t join the main group in a while and when he does it’s not sure if he will be a part of the group or if he will begin to just play alongside with the group instead. We will take more time to develop his background and character than usual as a request from his side.

A note to the kids;
You can play if you want, just post on the sessions page when you want a session and I will try to make place for you. Right now is a wonderful opportunity for you to play when the others are just playing single-sessions.

Joint and Campaign;
I said a while ago that we were meant to play a joint, I can now inform you that I’m not sure if we will have time for this and if we have when and how this will happen. It will take a lot of planning and I need to prep the kids first. As for the campaign I have for now postponed this a while due to work that need to be done first. The only thing I can let you know is that the characters it will revolve around right now¹ is Siramada Serpothir, Karlen and Rowakanda. Yes, these are a little bit epic if one would believe your what you think you know about these characters, but these characters are semi-epic and they are currently in Lanticka too. But I may change this later, not to mention that there will be five characters and not only three. I still need to thing.

Best regards,
Herid Fel
