VirtueVerse
New link in the "Relevant Links" section there. I've been meaning to add Vagz to the VirtueVerse forever. A lot of my/Vagz's friends from Virtue are already in there, including a few with profiles that mention him. I went ahead and opened a page for each version of Vagz as well as a "The Vagabond" page to collect it all together. It's just a framework at the moment, but now that it's started, I might be more inclined to continue.
While I was at it, I opened a page for both E-VAC and E.VAC, too. Might do Will as well if I get ambitious, but Vagz is first priority.
More on this as it develops. :)

Almost... There...
Well, from the sound of the Dev posts on the official boards, even closed beta of I12 is several weeks off. With open beta a few weeks after that and then a few weeks before going Live, I figure we still have about two months before I12 at least. That means plenty of time to get to 50 red-side, especially since I'm not sure I want to create a new Wolf Spider character the day the issue goes Live. Mercy Island is going to be PACKED with Wolf Spiders and Blood Widows, so it might be easier to wait 'til that first crop has moved on at least to Port Oakes if not Cap Au Diable. We'll see, though.
Fyre-Hex and Cpt. William Piett hit 48 this weekend. Will is now a bit more than half a level away from his final power at 49. Then another level to 50. My first red-side 50 and my fourth level 50 character overall. I'm enjoying the Black Scorpion Patron Pool (Mace Mastery), and unlike my other 50s, I'll be grabbing all four powers from the pool. Having the armor has been great. The AoE immobilize is helpful, and the hold is turning out to be very handy. Between Fyre, Havoc, and Will, we can keep large groups of enemies right where they are. We've even held a "Hero" through stacking.
It's funny, though. It seems like so many people go after Ghost Widow's Patron Pool (Soul Mastery). I was originally thinking that would be the pool for 'Ware Wolf, but now... well, I'd kinda like to see some of the other pools. So for that reason alone, the wolf might end up with Scirocco or even Mako as his Patron. Just for something different.
Who knows, though. I don't play the wolf, and I don't see a reason to start in my future. I love the character, but... well, he may end up deleted.
I don't have to make that choice yet, though. I've got a baby blaster I can easily delete from Virtue. And Derick Darklight may get the axe once more for the same reason as the wolf, but since he's lower in level, he's easier to delete. That'll make room for DefenderVagz and my Wolf Spider. :)

Ten years from now, or so the Mystics of Mu say, the villain known as "Fyre-Hex" will bring about the final victory of Lord Recluse. In so doing, however, the destruction she will unleash will devastate the world. Five years later, there will be a battle between the Lord of Arachnos and his Destined One, culminating in the destruction of the world. Few shall survive this titanic battle. And those who do will envy the dead.
Welcome to the future...

You're Welcome
According to Positron himself, those of us who paid for the Wedding Pack helped budget things so we got the villain Epic ATs in I12 instead of I13.

I Hate Daylight Savings
Yeah, it's got nothing to do with games or stories, but the title pretty much says it all. I don't care what time the sun rises or sets. It has no affect on how I live my life. Set the time however you want to, I say, but PICK ONE.
The constant flipping back and forth... the changing around of when it starts, when it stops... My ability to mentally keep track of time is screwed up enough as it is. Pick a way of keeping track of time. Stop changing it. Stop costing me an hour of sleep. Stop making it so one day I'm getting up with the sun and the next it's still solid dark out when the alarm goes off.
Sheesh.
*grumbles and goes to reset all his @#$% clocks*

Rest In Peace - Gary Gygax
For those of you who don't know, I'm a role-player from way back. My parents taught me to play Dungeons & Dragons. They still have my very first character sheet, dated 1979 if I remember right. I've played all manner of role-playing games in all sorts of settings, but my first game and the one I love to go back to is D&D.
Gary Gygax, as co-creator of D&D, is largely responsible for the RPG world as I know it. His name was on a lot of my favorite books, both for the game and based on the game. He was kind of a hero, I guess. Someone who made his living off of making games and telling stories.
And now he's gone. And I feel his loss.
An excellent tribute here:
