Gripe gripe blah...

Outcastes game is disappointing a little... not 'cause of my efforts, but more 'cause I seem to have a group that mostly likes being tossed in the action, and I so don't mesh well with those who don't see any fun in anything that's not combat or otherwise moving towards some concrete goal. :(

I had one even say after the fact that I made a mistake by not putting people in the action right away. Probably true -- if I don't know the group it's best to start with action. But I'd had my hopes up for people who actually enjoyed their character concepts enough to flesh them out without action to be an impetus (note: I've met people like that in RPoL! I was just unlucky and didn't get any this time around.)

Anyway, after all that my pride kicked in and I thought "Y'know I really COULD do an action-y, immediate goal oriented game" and decided I'd start up Escape from Five Coils instead. I was impatient to start a second game... RPoL games are always slow, and it'll take me some time to figure out how I'll do Lion-Bull War properly (if at all) due to the Mass Combat stuff.

Five Coils is an older concept of mine, part of my Shattered Age Exalted setting. Dunno how much Shattered Age will end up in this version of Five Coils though, we'll see. It's just one of those concepts I've always wanted to see if I could pull off, since it's going to be a lot of combat, sneaking around, and trickery... all in the name of getting the heck out alive.

So all I'm really doing any more is more RPoL. Yeah. I have no life and right now, I don't care all that much. I have pretty much nothing in front of me. Nothing to look forward to. I mean that's just the reality of my existence.

Hrmph. On the other hand I am going to make Nanaret again. I decided after some thought she'd work better as a Lunar than a Solar. She already had an anima that's something like a totem, now I can make it official. :P Also she was doing a lot of the disguise stuff, which Lunars naturally just do better, 'cause they can do more than disguise -- they can actually *take other forms*.

I was waffling between Full and Changing Moon though. I never thought of Nanaret as someone pretty. I mean, her totem is an aye-aye, they're these squirrel-ish monkeys, and I'm not sure I think of them as attractive... on the other hand though, nocturnal monkey seems more a trickster-y type than a strong and swift type (though she is still going to be a gladiator, she'll just be more of the tricksy, swift moving, play up the crowd kind of gladiator. :P)

Well I'll figure something out. :o

And maybe in the meantime my phone will actually work and I'll get one of: my passport, my health card or my permanent residency card this coming week? please? :( *sighs at immigration stuff* I really don't know why I bother even hoping it'll work out any more. So I just play some more games.
