Traffic was light this morning. I made it to work at 7:30am. *blinkblink*

How the heck did that happen?

Quantitative methods class yesterday. We looked at payoff tables, regret tables and decision trees. This class is going to make me remember how to do math, I can tell. *grins* Ah well, its marks include 20% test 1, 40% test 2, and 40% group project. And it's just a 6 week course. Joy. Actually though, this looks to be a course where we'll learn something, as opposed to the last 6 week course. And it has no final exam - *beams* Just one little statistical research project.

Of course, if that gets boring there's always annoying Accounting. Which I have an assignment due each of the next 4 Mondays, a final exam, and a project still to do. Bleah.

And tonight, Tiaryn makes her debut. Poor little 1st level Bard that she is. I think her Mom is a bard too, but she grew up on a small island trading post. Why her parents are there being traders, heck if I know, but hey, it works for me. I am guessing that Tiaryn is relatively popular ... hrm ... wonder if Tia can get lock picking tools from Mom ... *grins* Well, I can always try to figure out ways around it. Poor Tia is just not exactly rich, you know what I'm saying? Popular, but really, it doesn't look like her parents are good traders. *snicker*

Hrm, maybe she can go adventuring cause it beats constantly being plagued by some guy? Or maybe she can go adventuring, cause she's curious to see the world beyond this sheltered environment she's grown up in. Oh. Now that could be interesting. Wonder just how big this trading outpost is... Hey, arwen77 are you reading this? How big is that trading outpost? 20 people? 100? 15? Inquiring minds want to know.

Character background... Dang. Didn't really think of that...

S'pose I should... And a name. Need a new name for the girl... Hrm...

*laughs and patpats*

I expect you'll have some time to work it out ... though ... why do you need a new name? I thought you had a name already?

Re:

[wolfcat.livejournal.com]

I did. I don't want it any more. Girl needs a new name. A name of her own...

[damara.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, that I can understand. Tia was very vocal about needing her own name. And she has one. I expect your new alt will have a name long before 7pm tonight. I'm also willing to take bets that Pam's alt will be Ariel, and that Val's will be ... Val. *grins*

Re:

[wolfcat.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I wouldn't be surprised!

[damara.livejournal.com]

Maybe she'll call her Anita. :)

Re:

[wolfcat.livejournal.com]

*chuckle* Maybe.

[damara.livejournal.com]

What time do you figure on getting out there?

Re:

[wolfcat.livejournal.com]

Good question. I expect to leave here about 4:30 or 5pm. Preferably as close to 4:30 as I can manage.

Did you want me to pick up chinese food?

.oO(Maybe I should email you at work?)

[damara.livejournal.com]

You could do that ... I'm not sure about picking up Chinese food - Pam won't eat spicy, and I had very spicy lunch today.

Maybe we can figure something else for dinner? I'm not sure what just yet, but I bet we can manage. ;) There's certainly enough of us.

Didja come up with a name yet?

Re:

[wolfcat.livejournal.com]

*laugh* No. I've spent the past two hours out at a farewell lunch for Wayne. (Was fun. Had steak. Happy tummy!)

Have to let it perk some more. (Though a friend of mine from work here wants to know if he can get in on the game. I was telling him about it.)

Maybe we should just order in pizza?

[damara.livejournal.com]

Well now - pizza works, so far as I can tell.

As for the friend - will he be able to manage if we take it online? Which we might well have to, once Arwen77 goes home. I also think we should see how Val and Pam like it - I can't think we want more than 5 players, really. But then, I'm not the DM. This we can talk about tonight.

I am curious though ... what did you tell him? I mean, we know next to nothing about the campaigns.

Re:

[wolfcat.livejournal.com]

Man is a long time MUCKER. He should be able to manage online without too much difficulty — technologically, anyway. He works abnormally long hours sometimes, though, so would probably need to schedule a regular gaming time, so that he can coordinate his work schedule.

Though, honestly, I didn't tell him much of anything, strangely enough. Only that I was going out tonight to play in Ajax. Since he lives just down the road in Oshawa he thought that was very cool and wanted to know if we needed more players. I told him I didn't know — likely not, given that Pam and Val are still new — but that I'd find out anyway.

If he can't come, no skin off my nose. He's got other people to play with, anyway.

[damara.livejournal.com]

Ah well, let's see how it goes... *grins*

Though we do now have a bit of info for bg building purposes.

I gotta find out what the sword coast is though. ;)

Re:

[wolfcat.livejournal.com]

Info? I don't have info. 'Cept that it's a coastal island trade outpost or some such thing?

[wolfcat.livejournal.com]

*peers below* Oh. Info. Cool.

[damara.livejournal.com]

*nodnods*

Phone calls work wonders. *beams*

Re:

[wolfcat.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Oh. Yeah, that would do it.

[eternityschild.livejournal.com]

So what's this new place where you're playing? It sounds interesting.

[damara.livejournal.com]

It's a rl table top game. Advanced dungeons and dragons...

Not online at all, at least to start off with. :)

Re:

[eternityschild.livejournal.com]

Wow.. I miss table top!!!

[damara.livejournal.com]

I have only played bits and pieces table top. Depending on how far this goes, it might be my first actual campaign. And definitely my first /real/ AD&D campaign.

I'm looking forward to it.

Though it will get me offline every once in a while ...
