Though in my defense, Thrall/Dad, being WAY too excited about rocks is a risk you should have accounted for when you decided to talk to shamans.

Watched the new Salemās Lot last night. Itās been getting very middling reviews which kinda baffled me as I thought it was a lot of fun. Not a reason to run out and grab a HBO subscription but if you already have one itās lots of vampy fun.
The greatest compliment I can give it is I opted not to cross the threshold of my garage backdoor while having my morning cigarette. Because the sun wasnāt quite up yet so any prowling vampires would be desperately hungry.

Finally unlocked the heritage armor for the blood elves. Now I can play my lil treasonous Darkfallen on both factions when the mood strikes me.
Org has been oddly empty on MG lately though, so thatās disappointing.

I loved this novel and Kingās interpretation of the classic vampire. He had a lot of interesting additions while also keeping the references close to home. Some of the scenes in the novel were so creepy which I feel is hard to accomplish in modern vampire takes, especially for seasoned vampire lore connoisseurs.
Iāll be watching it soon but was a bit cautious because I heard it was āmehā. Glad to hear itās not a bust!

I admit Iām not familiar with the story or 1979 miniseries so I came in fresh. With nothing to compare it to I just thought it was a lot of fanged fun.
In particular a recently deceased friend turning up outside your window with glowing eyes is just some unnerving imagery. And I like how the smarter characters just accepted the situation. Suddenly lots of dead people with bite marks on their neck turn up - like letās just accept what weāre dealing with.
Another good recent vampire movie was Abigail. Which unfortunately spoils itās cool twist just up and down the marketing but still managed to be fun for me at least. Also has a great line in it;
āWhat do we know about vampires?ā
āTHAT THEYāRE NOT REALā
āWell, besides thatā

Another great vampire book series is the Vampire Wars: The Von Carstein Trilogy based on Warhammer Fantasy.
They became my favorite vampire family years ago.

Iām really really glad my college internship application didnāt go very far.

Hey, just dropping in quick for does interested and follow RPG or Strong story driven Cartoon series like me, Vox Machina drop its season 3 and it looks hilariously fun and good! (In case you never heard of it these type of cartoons are not made for kids, there are um, touch a lot of āmatureā subjects even in its high fantasy setting)
Canāt wait for the other series I follow to dropā¦ such cool high fantasy storiesā¦ Iām so addicted to them, but their such good visual and rpg inspiration to me IMO! 
Also yes, I have issues and those issues, have issues! Donāt judge me! (Joking)

Been keeping up with it. I tuned into the original Critical Role Vox Machinia saga back when so this has been borderline nostalgic.
Makes me direly miss D&D. Had a lot of characters but my favorite was Bask Bronzebeard (gee wonder where I got that surname from). A Dark Elf Wild Magic Sorcerer who was raised by a Dwarves who found him in a basket while adventuring in the Underdark, hence the name.
So he was a sweary Scottish drunkard that still got to be a mysterious elven twink that was made of explosions. My voice reference for him was, of course;

My favorite DnD character was a sociopathic bard that acted as the face for an evil aligned party in a freeform campaign our DM wrote week to week.
I think I only failed 2 social rolls all campaign, he was a heroic tier liar and BSer, basically kept our group from getting hauled in for all the nighttime raids weād been doing in hte first half of the campaign before it shifted to being a bit more GoT-ey politics and kingdom building when we finally screwed over some poor noble family liberated a small territory of our own.
The peak was being interrogated by a group of Paladins known to be able to detect lies and holding an entire conversation with them without telling one direct lie. I had to make my case on 2 of the statements as being true due to technicalities OOC, but I made it.

I had a College of Swords human bard named Vernan Vagabound who eventually wielded enchanted hand crossbows and had a mask of many faces that let him shift and know the language of any medium sized humanoid. With a chance the thing could fail at any time if the DM rolled a 15 or something iirc.
Which led to the biggest hot streak of my life when the thing phased out when I was trying to infiltrate a tribe of hostile cannibal wood elves (dm had been reading up on their Elder Scroll lore apparently).
And I shouldāve been screwed but every roll against me flopped while I just nailed everything. I could live to be 3,000 years old and never get that lucky again. My party rushed to the rescue only to discover Iād John Wicked the whole outpost.
The dice gods just decided I was the main character for 15 minutes there.

One of my favorite DnD characters was a lowly kobold named Krirock. He and his clan lived in the upper reaches of the Underdark just living their lives by hunting, fishing, etc. They didnāt raid the surface or the āgoodā races. A human wizard lived with them after proving himself. Krirock learned a bit of magic from the wizard during that time.
Then the gnomes came. They slaughtered his entire clan, stole everything, and left him unconscious. He was the only survivor. Depressed, all he had left was a ruined home. When a drow priestess of Lolth arrived with her Draegoloth son (yeah, she went there), he thought he was dead. So, he grabbed his spear and prepared to defend his home one last time. This actually got him some respect from the pair, so they took him with them.
We jokingly called the group Team Evil. A duergar, 2 other drow, and an orog joined later. That was some fun, adventuring through the Underdark, dealing with various scenarios and such. Nobody messed with the kobold as they knew the priestess had an odd affection for him.
And as I couldnāt resist, he did love collecting candles. Heh. But as Krirock liked to say, who are the real evil ones? Him or the gnomes or other surface people?

Iām currently playing a character inspired by the elder scrolls Shezzarine: he is an ancient sorcerer-turned-godās soul shardling reincarnated as a mortal to affect fate that he, as a mortal, has no idea about.
A bunch of powers in the setting are claiming him as their champion to try to trick him into other prophesies.
the only dnd campaign i did was an underdark campaign where i played a drow warlock who had to flee the underdark cause he murdered his wife after she used him for an experiment.

Anyone betting I played a dwarf berserker would have 100% won that bet.
I obtained my dog after running around poking rocks for a while. Next up, Arfus. And leveling my most emotionally significant toons (my old druid) for anniversary shenanigans. I have two dwarves at max, but a third one is VERY CLOSE. If only blitzes werenāt actually really fun.
My real dog is doing well, too. Smart puppy. Iām dreading the next four months because she is almost to teenage doghood. But for now, Search and Rescue is the most fun a puppy can have and she plays well with all her friends and her recall is perfect.

Iāve been farming protoform synthesis mounts/pets and I think what kills me the most about Zereth Mortis is for as much as I absolutely hate its story and all the presursor-super-titan crap, I actually really really like how the zone and all the mobs look.
Funny you mention that, because I been revisiting SL on ocassion for RP reasons and been adding Venthyr stuff to my RP. Never done that convenant, but the zone and lore is pretty cool and does fit what Iām doing on my elf.
The more I think about SL though, honestly, my major issue with it all is the Jailer. Everything else I can largely ignore or acknowledge as I see fit
