    Ascension Sojourns is a WOD 20th game accepting players for Mortal, Sorcerers, Psychics, Mage, Garou, Kinfolk, and Bygones.

    The political climate has cooled. Life has returned to a more peaceful time. For the moment the darkness as crept back into the shadows. But how long will that last?

    Plots are dynamic and ongoing. Staff is available and responsive. We are a small game that welcomes players of all experience levels. Starting Xp is awarded for interesting and needed concepts. Group applications will be entertained.

    @Gashlycrumb Also, chances are most of the people you (general not specific) have a problem with have a similar opinion of you so 1) Why would they care? 2) Why would they be surprised? People are allowed to avoid games because of Staff (whether your own issue or in support of someone else) so it seems hypocritical to not allow Staff the same option especially when they’re the one putting in the effort to run the game.

    Ooh. Another peeve of mine:

    People who attempt to argue rules that are clearly written.

    Two Examples:

    A player in a combat scene in a tabletop D&D 3.5 game I played in tried to claim that Improved Initiative was situational and per the PHB did not apply to the combat scene we were involved in. Improved Initiative in the 3.5 PHB has some of the simplest and clearest rules text in that book.

    A player in a Vampire game tried to argue that they shouldn’t have to make a degeneration roll for killing a feeding victim on accident while at Humanity 8. While the Humanity rules aren’t exactly simple, they do clearly state that accidental killing is a degeneration roll when you are Humanity 6 or higher.

    More of a real life cute, but wanted to share. This is a recent development that now seems to be routine.

    Backstory: Our oldest cat has diabetes and has to get injections. Don’t worry, he’s doing fine. Grumpy old man, but his levels are good and he’s moving towards remission. That being said, since he has to get a shot twice a day he gets fed a little away from the other cats and gets some extra cuddles after.

    Present Day: One of our youngest cats started to walk up and whine when I was administering the post-shot extra cuddles to Oldest Cat. So I laughed and said, “You only get extra cuddles if you get a shot.” He head donked me and meowed.

    Just for fun I took the insulin pen (so solid plastic cap no needle to it) and gave him ‘his shot’. I said “There you go! Good job!” and cuddled him.

    Now he comes up every feeding, every injection, and waits his turn patiently for ‘his shot’ and extra cuddles.

    @dvoraen said in General Video Game Thread:

    Does anyone else increasingly feel like you have no time ever for recreation? Here’s an idea of my backlog, assuming I did full completions including postgame:

    finish Octopath Traveler I - 20h? (Postgame quests and bosses) Octopath Traveler II - 120h? Dragon Quest I-III (HD-2D) - 200h? <- hard to judge; probably higher Dragon Quest VII Reimagined - 150h? <- estimate due to 200h on DQXI Horizon: Forbidden West - 70h? God of War: Ragnarok - 70h?

    Now let’s add in stuff just released or soon to launch that will undoubtedly consume focus!

    Windrose (EA launch) - > 50h easily I’m sure; depends on content. Soulmask (1.0) - > 100h if I commit to it

    I’m doomed. 😭

    Yes, I feel this way.

    I beat DQ1-3 but I need to finish Octopath Zero and DQ7.

    It also doesn’t help that I spend about 3-4 hours a day painting now lol.
