<br><br>
lazarus: I'm not sure I can actually play tongiht.  Just too much pain at the moment.  Especially annoying that I'm not able to tell when my head is "up" (i.e. in the right place)<br>
Knockwood: I've had my shae of stressors as well...<br>
Knockwood: hm...<br>
Knockwood: I'd be OK with either playing or waiting<br>
Theresa: I'm good with either way too, but if it's playing, we should probably get going.<br>
Random_Nerd: Hmm.  I could run the game, but I don't think I could run the game /well/.<br>
Knockwood: what's wrong with you, Laz?<br>
lazarus: easy answer: migraine<br>
lazarus: accurate answer: bad headache, light sensitivity, jaw muscle tension, hell tension all over my head, stiff neck and shoulders.<br>
Knockwood: ...which means staring at a screen makes things worse?<br>
Theresa: Urk.  Hate those.  Had one Sat. night and another Sunday night.<br>
Knockwood: ah... all for waiting a week, then?<br>
Random_Nerd: Sounds good.  Sorry about the delay, but I suppose it's better to have a skipped week than a bad session.<br>
Knockwood: and/or Laz's head exploding...<br>
Theresa: Esepcially since I'm not sure where we're going to go with the hairy giant who is working his way to calling me a name for a female dog.<br>
Theresa: But this is Nobilis...I thought head-splodey was a common side-effect...<br>
Theresa: Or is that UA...<br>
lazarus: don't rest your head<br>
Knockwood: that's OMage. :)<br>
lazarus: (headsplodey is a game effect :p)<br>
Random_Nerd: This is Nobilis.  Head explosion is a /feature/.<br>
lazarus: ... or am I thinking of Panty Explosion?  I reviewed them both in a short span of time...<br>
Theresa: (Okay, there, Wiki caught up.  93 or so sessions...)<br>
Knockwood: Head explosion is survivable in Nobilis...<br>
Theresa: I prefer making other people's heads explode than my own.<br>
Knockwood: arigato, Beth<br>
lazarus: if I won the lottery, I would say to RSB "How much would I have to give you to get Nobilis republished, and Society of Flowers finished and published?  How much more to be able to hire Random Nerd to write some miniature supplements?"<br>
Knockwood: didja see RSB's reply to that one thread in which she said something may be happening soon WRT Nobilis?<br>
Theresa: *grin*  That would be so cool!  <br>
Theresa: The next word is hard to write on a human keyboard.  :)<br>
lazarus: aye :)<br>
Theresa: (I still don't know what to call this chapter, though.  Was thinking, "Repeat after me: At laaast, the paaast come and bites us on the aaaaaass.")<br>
Random_Nerd: Indeed.<br>
Knockwood: she responded to me with that, I might add. :)<br>
Random_Nerd: How about "Aren't you going to eat the giant"?<br>
lazarus: *needs Society of Flowers* :p<br>
Knockwood: Theresa: could wait until something later in the chapter suggests something... which it may<br>
Theresa: That's what I figured.  :)<br>
*** You are now known as BethE.<br>
BethE: I keep thinking about things for Theresa to do in offtime.  Just random off-the-wall stuff.  Like the find John a girl.  Or go talk to the spirit of Dublin for a while.  Or go and walk through the MonSanto main labs and go "Hmm."<br>
lazarus: Brian needs to finish his supercollider.  Then we can go visit Outside.  Have a nice vacation. ...<br>
Knockwood: hm... <br>
BethE: I had a thought on that.  Okay, so Wildlords can't go Outside.  We're effectively parts of a Wildlord.  Wouldn't that mean we can't go either?<br>
Knockwood: Dante can ... go and search for more gangs to roust... respond to people who keep sending him bat'leths...<br>
Knockwood: Beth: no, Wildlords /come/ from outsid<br>
lazarus: we don't know they /can't/.  Just that they /won't/.  And that no one who's gone outside has come back ... fully intact.<br>
lazarus: (IIRC, there seems to be something in all of their programming saying "avoid Outside!")<br>
Knockwood: we can negotiate with Tpyo.  Promise to take her on adventures if she leaves out chatroom alone.<br>
lazarus: *points*<br>
Knockwood: laz: Wikipedia says some people get relief from Benadryl.<br>
lazarus: Benadryl is also sleepy-time medication (seriously, it knocks me out pretty effectively :p) ... I wish I had some, still.<br>
Random_Nerd: Oh, and it's a metaphysical principle that the Wildlords /can't/ go Outside.<br>
Random_Nerd: It's unclear why.<br>
Random_Nerd: For others, it's very dangerous.  For them, it just doesn't work.<br>
BethE: Oh and Wildlord question...if everything about them is Freedom!...why follow Entropy's rules?<br>
Random_Nerd: Well, Wildlords don't.<br>
Knockwood: they don't, we do.<br>
Random_Nerd: Entropy's rules are for Nobles.<br>
Random_Nerd: And I imagine most take the same approach as Kudzu did, with the "Honestly, I don't care if you follow them or not, but if you don't, and you get caught, that's your problem."<br>
BethE: As the #1 Rule for Nobilis is "Don't Get Caught."<br>
Knockwood: that's the #1 rule for most RPGs. :)<br>
lazarus: yep, I've got the shinies in front of my eyes which others claim is migraine country<br>
BethE: I thought that was "Kill 'm, take their stuff."<br>
BethE: Go to bed, Laz!  *HUG*<br>
Knockwood: laz: get into a dark room ASAP<br>
Random_Nerd: Yeah, photosensitivity is not your friend.<br>
lazarus: advil is starting to kick in, though.<br>
Knockwood: some caffeine might help<br>
Knockwood: (I actually get those.  Fortunately in my case they're rare & mild)<br>
lazarus: I also zone out :p<br>
Random_Nerd: I don't get migraines, but I have a wife who does.<br>
lazarus: and feel kinda like mush :p<br>
BethE: For mine, it takes some form of painkiller and usually at least 3 hours in a dark room.<br>
Random_Nerd: Perhaps you've met her?<br>
BethE: She's a horrible GM and only a passing player.  Bah.<br>
Random_Nerd: And she consistently fails to provide me with tasty sammiches on demand, too!<br>
Knockwood: which one?<br>
lazarus: I'm not convinced these are actually /migraines/ - they seem mostly due to muscular tension and the fact that my glasses don't sit right (and astigmatism correction /really/ cares about the angle glasses sit)<br>
Knockwood: >:)\<br>
Random_Nerd: Not Gertrude, the other one.<br>
BethE: You make your own sandwiches of a morning, dear.<br>
Random_Nerd: That's my point!<br>
lazarus: I have to buy pre-made sandwiches :(<br>
Knockwood: laz: there's a slight chance it's eyestrain<br>
Random_Nerd: They don't sell bread in the heathen wilds of Canada?<br>
Knockwood: nauseated?<br>
BethE: I have to get ready for work too.  I already get up first to get the shower.  Now you want me out of bed even more just so I can slap meat between bread-product?<br>
lazarus: (there's a not-stated end to that sentence: "to get someone else to make me a sammidge")<br>
Random_Nerd: Bah!  I prefer to perpetuate my own mad ideas about the strange and savage land of Canada.<br>
lazarus: just so long as you do it in an alternifuture RPG book, we're all good<br>
Random_Nerd: Great, now I want to do a Sword and Sorcery game set in a lunatic's version of modern Canada.<br>
lazarus: eh, I just go with Rifts or Shadowrun, myself, for weird insane Canada<br>
Knockwood: so, die, eh?<br>
Knockwood: or, gimme all your cash and poutine, eh?<br>
Knockwood: :D<br>
Knockwood: sorry, /loonies/ and poutine. :)<br>
Knockwood: did I kill the room?<br>
* lazarus is ded
