Unconnected Gaming Thoughts
This weekend, I was reading Brief Lives between my spots in the gaming and, for some reason, thought about playing a Mirelle based on Delirium. Of course, I don't have any elders games on my current roster of "characters to create" games, but I may write her out anyway, hold her in check until I can find a place to put her. She could be a lot of fun to play. And I've already found that I can channel Del pretty effectively.
However, I don't know if I could keep her up in a Con setting. That, I think, would even take too much out of me. It was too difficult when I was doing her during the Vagabond game.
This weekend proved to me, once again, that I need to change my name. I thought I would get whiplash from all the times I'd hear "Amber" and whip my head around only to realize that no, people WEREN'T talking about me after all. I think by TBR, I'm going to try to switch everyone to Am, at the very least. I'd thought about going back to Stasia, but... No, I think Am is safer. It's not a complete departure.
I've got a lot of game-related things that I need to do over the next couple of days. I need to prod my SoM players, get the SoM info to Ray so he can get me a character, ask Theresa to add him to the SoM forum, answer Deb's SoM mail and, hopefully by the end of the week, get her started on the actual meet of the campaign (and get Paul started too, if I can think of where I want him and what I want him doing it).
I've got to send an e-mail out to my Project Omega players and find out who's still interested, who owes and who I owe to, and set up a posting schedule so I don't go nuckin' futz.
I've got to start on my character for Tom's game, though I have absolutely no clue what I'm going to do character-wise. I'll figure something out. I think I just haven't had enough time to sit down and think, with ACUS coming up.
I've got to reply to Paul and Liz for the Mirelle/Delwin/Neti thread. I've got to start work on the thread for the ball that Paul and I are doing. I've got to start the Mirelle/Francesca thread to get Liz and I finished with the pre-reception stuff. I've got to start the Mirelle/Corwin thread between the reception and the ball. I need to figure out where all three of my girls are so I know where I'm going for the ball. I need to check with Paul re: the ceremony and Jayla being there to watch. I need to think more about the e-mail that came in today re: GA and decide what my thoughts are on it so I can reply thoughtfully. I need to track down the Mirelle/Caine thread and find out if I dropped the ball or if it's in Jim's court. There's probably a million other things that I need to do for GA, but that's the start (if anyone reading this knows of something I'm missing, please prod me.)
I've got to check the status on the other games that I'm in so I can figure out where I'm at and what I'm doing... a Character Status Report might not be a bad idea when I get home tonight.
I've got to work with Paul on my character for SB.
I need to finish reading the Gabe logs so Deb can get me into the RoP/ACD saddle as quickly as possible. (I may read just the current stuff first, then go back as I have time to past info... then I can at least get started.)
I need to sit down with Rich and decide whether we can make the idea that we were talking about for me to GM at TBR really will work. (Of course, I'm not dumb enough to do this COMPLETELY on my own. He's going to co-GM with me.)
I need to type up my notes (such as they are) from the Con. Particularly the notes for RoP. And send the quotes that I have for the various games to Kris.
I need to get my head on straight for LFS and figure out where Quin's been while Jordan and Ceri were talking (since she obviously wasn't there by the way they kept talking on and on) and get back in on the conversation.
There's probably ten million other things I need to do. And I'm sure they'll come up as time goes on. They always do.
Enough babble for now. more babble later.
Maybe.
(I do have a write up of Arref's game half way finished, but I want to completely finish it at home, where I have my notes. So look for that later. Maybe later tonight. But no promises. I guess that's something else that should have been on my To Do list. *sigh*)

I was going to do it Tuesday night, but then there was The Issue, and the fallout continued last night. I'm going to try to get to it - along with everything else - tonight. I've still got a couple characters I have to create.
The biggest problem I'm having is that my notes weren't quite as concise as I'd originially thought. So some of this will have to go from memory - and that's not as good as it used to be.
