Eeep!  Getting sidetracked is one of those evils that have been hanging around me lately.  Guilty feelings…guilty feelings… go away, guilty feelings!  *cough*

Okay, on to business:  June and July, since being a DM isn’t all that great a story on its own.  It was enlightening, I’ll give it that much.

As y’all know, the first chapter of Brass’ D&D campaign came to a close in May.  While he was taking a breather, he had me step in as DM for a mini campaign since everyone was still super eager to play.  I got one of those pre-made modules with the story, encounters, and maps all together.  Yeah…never again….  Anyone familiar with these things know how much they suck.  This one was based around an evil cleric who was trying to raise a demigod of Death, Orcus, and had a bunch of little goblin minions.  Since I was DMing over experienced players, the life and times of goblins are a giant snoozefest.  I did all I could to keep interest, but when you have a crappy story to begin with…yeah….  Since people were getting bored, and our ranger was rolling like some kind of superhero, killing everything in a couple of hits, I added an extra character.  He was the cleric’s right hand man.  An advisor, and a motivator.  That’s right, he was a bard.  Hey, he hit the Will defense all the time, and that was the ranger’s weak stat!  (Yeah, he pissed me off lol)  Man, that bard almost wiped the party.  That final encounter for me went from maniacal glee to “Oh crap, I’m gonna kill them…I don’t feel so good anymore….”  So yeah, I chickened out.  At least everyone was interested in that last session…. hehehehe…..

July…oof…July…  What happened in July?  Oh yeah, Anime Convention!  I went with Razziel this year, and he proved to be a good ally unlike the party poopers that call themselves Brassmutant and Wheaty.  For the first time, I got to stay the entire day.  Just wish I had thought my costume out a little more.  I cosplayed as Chii from Chobits, and I had the long sleeved brown dress that she wears semi-frequently.  The material that dress was made out of… x.x  It was super heavy and it didn’t breathe.  I’m tempted to say it’s some kind of polyester…I dunno.  All I know is that I was hot all day.  But it was worth it.  There was a guy there who made a perfect Vincent Valentine… <3  I got my picture with him, too!  That was awesome.

*sigh*  August…   That month was great for one reason.  But, you’ll have to wait until I pry myself away from The Beatles RockBand long enough again to write to find out why!  I still get all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it…. *swoons and faints while hitting the Publish button*
