What I'm currently reading: The Reality Dysfunction

The Reality Dysfunction

My first purchase for my Borders Cruz e-reader.  A very good read (so far, I'm 13 chapters in as of this morning's commute to work) with so many adventure hooks that makes me think the author is a gamer.

Orc Boyz spearmen - unpainted

Here are some Orc Boyz spearmen Elizabeth and I spent the past hour putting together.  She can't wait until we are finished assembling my Greenskin army and paint it.  She'll then claim it as here own and slaughter my smallish clan of dwarfs.

 Born on Rao [Industrial/Vacuum], a smallish moon in the Q'uanir system, Dinesh chose to see the known galaxy and joined the Q'uani Merchant Marines, as an Fleet Hand Apprentice, shortly after turning 18 years old.  Dinesh proved himself both capable [promoted to 4th Officer] and loyal [declined a chance to enter Q'uanir Navy as a Petty Officer] during his first term.

Dinesh re-upped with the Merchant Marines as a Bridge Hand, manning ship sensors.  During his second term he became involved with Ava Jensi, a young navigator.

Despite frustrations with his career seeming to come to a screeching halt, Dinesh signed on the the Q'uani Merchant Marines for another term as a Bridge Hand, maintaining his duties with ship sensors, but also becoming involved with the administration of the ship.  During this term, Dinesh befriended Jacob Grude, a broker working for Ling Standard on Gram.  Jacob convinced Dinesh that it was time to move on and become involved in the lucrative specialty trade market.

Deciding not to re-enlist, Dinesh collected his profit-sharing from the Merchant Marines collecting a sizable amount of credits and a desirable TAS Membership good for life.

Merry Christmas!

Here is my wish that everyone has a joyous holiday.  Shortly not a creature will be stirring, not even a mouse.

I'm back.

My apologies for neglecting to update. 

I could blame recent medical complications for not posting.  I could blame work/family balance issues.  I could blame the fact that my stalled Warhammer Fantasy game is off and running full tilt.

But the truth is, I really didn't want to.  Yes, all of those conditions contributed to my being tremendously busy lately, but there was more.  Due to a conflict that has arisen in the last month, I've been pre-occupied with what the problem is and how best to resolve it.  However, my personal tendency to avoid (ie procrastinate) handling emotional issues until there is no other recourse.  This is not good for a balanced emotional state and coupled with the stress of everything else, I've not wanted to write in my melancholy mood.

So, after much navel gazing, I've decided that I need to get back to updating here and try to not allow any of the non-gaming issues to hamper discussing the progress of my Sunday night 4E game, or how well (relatively) my Warhammer players are doing, or some upcoming face-to-face games I may be involved in.
