Rockin' The Dice, Rockin' Them Hard

Last night was our semi-monthly (or so) D&D 4e game.  The biggest piece of coolness with this game is that our GM, Greg, has a rather hefty collection of Master Maze terrain and lots of minis.  So it's possible to have a very near WYSIWYG dungeon experience.  I decided to document last night's session in the form of a photo essay. which I've collected here:

Dungeon Crawlin' Fools (with commentary)

Here's a teaser image:

The campaign is set in a faux-classical Mediterranean analog.  A couple of the races are re-skinned from 4e, so Vulk is actually a Bolgani (Man-Ape) Barbarian, not a Half-Orc, and Nesiir the Wizard is an Ushutud, not Dragonborn.  Rounding out the party is Nalasra an Aasimar (Deva) Cleric, Pseudolus - aka "The Lyre", my Human Bard, and Gaius, our pet NPC Human Fighter.

The end battle was definitely epic, in scope if not level.

(From a purely stylistic perspective, I really love the way the flash on my Blackberry camera made all the tight shots look vaguely subterranean.)

New Digs

So, I've got this nice shiny new Blogger site. While I liked Dreamwidth well enough, it didn't give me enough in the way of features and it lacked quite a bit in terms of replying for my handful of regular readers.  I don't plan on taking that site down (unless I can find a way to move my old posts over here and keep the dates intact), so it will remain live, if untended, as long as Dreamwidth allows it to stay up.

I haven't had much to write about recently.  Most of that's due to work-related reasons, though a fair bit has been a rather constant state of creative blockage.  Which is probably due to the work-related stuff.  I think things on the job front are settling down a bit, so hopefully, the creative juices will start flowing again.

In the meantime, I'm up far too early on a Sunday morning, trying to entertain a hyperkinetic, attention-starved (just ask her) kitten.  Newcastle - Chelsea are 1-1 at the half, and Liverpool - Tottenham is coming up in a few hours.  This afternoon, I've got the 4e Master Maze game to play, so I even get to throw some dice before the holiday's done.  Until then, I'm going to do some more work on this site, getting it into shape.
