 <feeling very...>


For those who have perhaps been wondering a bit at my particular brand of insanity, I have put up an origin story and a vignette on the Vault:

Forgotten Resonance gives you some background on the Gemworlds and how I approach magic and technology.
The Eye of Amethyst hints at some of my deeper motivations and an inter-world campaign that has been in the works for a long, long time.

Enjoy, or not, as you desire ;-)

I've 'ad my pickin' o' sweet'earts,
An' four o' the lot was prime.
One was an 'arf-caste widow,
One was a woman at Prome,
One was the wife of a ~jemadar-sais~
An' one is a girl at 'ome..."

So this is the particular bushel under which you've been hiding your hat then Rolo!

Guilty!

@Rolo - <Quick Quote>
If people are interested, I may put up the origin of High Cleric Mithradun Soulforge, Knight-captain (and only surviving member) of the Cestus Dei Aethenum of the Order of Templar Aethenum.

I'm interested

[Rolo Kipp]

<muttering...>

Hmmm... OK, working on it.
How about some insight into Skeaver Demonsbane and the disturbing Lady of Shadows, while I'm at it?

<...as he digs through old, spirit-stained scrolls>

[Tarot Redhand]

Indubitably old bean (). BTW would you like me to convert the stories you've published so far, into pdf documents?

TR

[Rolo Kipp]

<wonders how you check...>

Sure! If you have the time and compulsio... er, urge, be my guest :-)
Want to illustrate some of them? =)

I'll post them in our shared folder on dropbox and find a pm thread to re-cycle (as you know I'm currently experiencing issues at this end so if you want to pm me in a new thread to cover this eterprise...) when done.

As to illustrating them - you realise, don't you, that I have all the artistic ability of a dying worm that has just crawled through a vat of watery ink, expiring before completing its first line!

Coolness! :-)

That is so... so... <disgusting?>
No. *Visual*! =)

<...considering the artistic merit>

<coughing modestly...>

Thanks for the big update this week. Some of us might only lurk on here but we really do appreciate what your doing for the Vault.

[Rolo Kipp]

<blushing...>

Thank *you* :-) <...no. wait. you've been hitting the brandy again, haven't you, boss?
Don't know what you're talking about, Bother. I'm just pleased to get a compliment now and then. <then why are you wobbling?>
I'm dancing. A snoopy dance. <yup, drunk>
Pish. Brandied snail, pretty black bird? <don't try and bribe me>
*Rainbow* snail. From the Bay of Stones <gimme!>

<...happily>

<wetting his finger...>

My next 5 projects are (*not* counting the CCC which I will always attempt) (in rough order of my committment):

• Window lights (Project Q)
• Giant kilts (by request)
• Black Molly (by request)
• Crystal wall placeables (by request)
• Tidal Placeables (by request)

Beyond that queue, what are you, my friends, interested in seeing?
(Edit: How'd that link get twisted around? *sheesh* Fixed)

<...and checking to see which way the wind blows>

<taking a mo...>

 

I am, as ever, gratified that I have so many friends :-)

 

And, as I posted on my blog on the Vault, you don't deserve silence ;-/

 

But I just kept having other things come up:

 

...and I apologise for that.

My life has become very full lately of (mostly) good things. Among them, I am engaged to be married to my long-time girlfriend.

As you might (or might not) agree, Fiancé trumps VR ;-)

I have *not* left the community, nor am I planning to, but I am... um, *distracted* rather delightfully.

If/when you *need* me, shout (as in email, text or phone, not PM as I am checking in very sporadically). 

I love you guys, but I love my love more =)

 

Oh... and I'm also working on moving to AZ in Jan... Heh. Lotsa stuff happening.

 

Just so ya know =)

 

<...to jot a few postits>

[meaglyn]

Congrats friend!

[rjshae]

Thanks for the update, Rolo, and again, congratulations!

[Tarot Redhand]

@ Rolo Kipp first congrats. Second, for those of us not in the good 'ol US of A, where the bleep is AZ? Third, why the move?

Arizona, the southwest oven state I currently reside in and will be moving far away from at the end of May.

 

Congrats, Rolo.

[henesua]

Bitter sweet. I'm happy for you, but not happy for me. I had hoped you'd be living in the center of the universe a bit longer. I'll need to catch ya at HQ before you head off into the desert.

I didn't know you guys lived in Boston

Congrats, Rolo.

Hmmm, we'll have to get together before you run away, then...

I'll have to establish a new HQ anyway.

 

To answer by 2nd favorite kitty, Besides not being known for murder and midnight gunfire (some fully automatic, I'll have you know) Arizona is about a 3rd of the cost of living and I'm rather tired of being homeless... annoys the girlfriend, ya know :-P

 

So, the good news (well, *more* good news for me) is I'll have a home and can start working on a decent rig so I can get serious about jNwN and some other things...
