Voidwalkers Are Awesome

Given that I spent six hours playing WoW last night I've guilted myself into actually getting something done this afternoon that doesn't involve clearing out my quest log or running back to the warlock trainer for new spells (I started another character - an Undead Warlock - on a different server that some of the guys I work with are playing on; BTW, the Undead are really cool). Now, I've only been playing for a tad over a week, so I don't think I'd call it an addiction just yet; I'm really just in the novelty phase (I flew on the Zeppelin from Lordaeron to Kalimdor last night!). In a few weeks we'll see if I can label it an "addiction" or not. Oh, and I did the quest last night to get the spell to summon a Voidwalker - those things rule!

One thing that helped last night was that I had no server problems, which hasn't happened since about a week ago. Could be all the geeks were out on dates and not playing? (Says the guy who spent six hours on a Friday night playing an on-line RPG...but, hey, I'm married so it's not like I have to go out looking for women...)

So aside from that (my Warlock can make dynamite now!), what's on the slate for the site? Well, I'm almost through Complete Adventurer so I'll be updating the House Rules soon with the approved feats and prestige classes from that book. Issue #8 of the Mythosa Chronicle is going through editting and should be out on the first of the month. I've got some plans for TableSmith formulating, though it's too early to pin anything down for that. Not trying to be mysterious or anything (I personally believe that when someone says something like "I'm working on this cool/big/awesome new super-secret project but I can't tell you anything about it yet" they should be slapped in the face with some sort of large fish...perhaps a salmon or a tuna). I just don't like talking about something I'm going to do until it's in its finishing stages.

And holy crap do I really need to get back to painting. I don't think I've touched the miniature painting table in months.

Yeah, I played WoW for about a month, and it really sucked my life away. I didn't do any drawing, gaming, or even world building at all; I felt my life slowly draining away.

It was fun, mind you. Really fun.

But looking at the prospect of spending my next 3 years without doing anything else of note, scared me into quitting cold turkey. It took me about a week to finally get the urge to play out of my system.

Now, I'm back to my regular creative routine. Yay.

So, be careful.
