What I've been up to
15 years ago
(Crossposted to my LiveJournal, apologies in advance if that means some of the linking code doesn't work...)
Things have settled for the most part, but now I have alot on my plate.
City of Heroes has released Dark Mirror, the Seventeenth free expansion, in which accusations are made, dark secrets are revealed, and more information about the mysterious dimension of Praetoria
are whispered. Also, their Second paid expansion Going Rogue is in preorder, with a bennie that people who buy the expansion before it goes live get to play the new powersets (Dual Pistols for a variety of classes, and Demon Summoning for Masterminds) early. As in now. So, I've been playing that alot.
As an early birthday present, my father helped me buy a WACOM Bamboo Pen&Touch tablet. Bamboo is their low-end line, but I've no experience with tablets and this is the largest of the line. Using it is something of an adjustment, but I think it will work out nicely.
Friday my gaming group started a campaign of Torg. Torg takes place in a modern setting where Earth is being invaded by a series of alternate realities, hoping to mine the very energy that makes up reality from it. My character is a renegade knight of the land known as the Cyberpapacy. In his world, the Western Schism ended with the triumph of the Avignon Papacy in France (Rather than the Roman Papacy of the Real World). This regime has been able to suppress technological and cultural progress and maintain their power over secular society. During the invasion of Earth however, rogue elements from another reality interceded and forced a technological singularity on the world, which the church has since embraced and moved to control (Hence Cyberpapacy), resulting in a dark cyberpunk dystopia, but one where people live under religious oppression instead of corporate.
And lastly, in a few weeks I will begin running a campaign of Mage: The Ascension. The story is that seven powerful spirits have been released from their bindings, and the party is tasked with their retrieval and/or destruction. The party at present consists of a Catholic Schoolgirl (From the religiously-themed Celestial Chorus) who released the spirits in the first place, as well as her handler (A chanter, also from the Chorus), an occult investigator (From the European Mysticism themed Order of Hermes), and an iconoclastic bicycle messenger with authority issues (An orphan, who are self-taught and belong to no tradition), and a mummy who is interested in maintaining universal balance.
My days are packed, whoo.
