Being grounded is no fun.

Tonight was Lazar's Friday Shadake game, in which not much happened because all the characters were grounded. Lazar was basically totally scatterbrained and had lost most of his notes, and we frustrated him by refusing to take the initiative to solve our own problems. Or at least, that's how it looked to me.

MCAU + Arx

Comic day today, but not much came in, so I picked up 'Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed', his own attempt at D+D 3.0+i. 'No elves! No Dwarves!' proclaimed the back, but I bought it despite such pretension, since I'd heard it had an all new magic system and classes and lots of neat feats from a review.

And it does. But it's also ( goofy. )

Clumsy and unprofessional... but there's a lot of content there, and it probably *will* play significantly differently from D+D, I guess. Still, Monte Cook == not my favorite person, and this didn't change anything.

I've also started playing Arx Fatalis, because I was jonesing for a PC RPG and saw snowwy playing it. It seems pretty okay, although I'm getting a little impatient about not having any useful spells.
