DVDs and Blu-Rays - and even Computer-compatable Disks - also come in handy.

Rob: Thou are I are quite alike:

Quote from: RobJN on June 19, 2009, 03:26:17 PM
I don't know that I consider myself an author, as much as I do a writer. In my brain, authors write with publishing in mind -- I just write to write, and have been doing so ever since I can remember.

In school, I wrote mainly for my D&D campaign, adventures, adventure logs, bits and pieces of "history," that sort of stuff. I wrote a few other things in my later high school years, and my senior year English teacher strongly advised that I attend a summer writing workshop, which I did, and have not regretted.

Most of my compositions are technically FanFic: D&D, C.J. Corella's Witchcraft, Star Wars, Star Trek.
Sure, I can create interesting Backgrounds for each Character, and even Histories for entire Kingdoms.
But - For the most part, I am best at responsive writing.
And for those that might be reading this, and be wondering what that is: Think about how a story is written. (Apologies to those that already know.)

One Character's view is represented as the tale unfolds: and other Character's observed behavior ,and stated opinions, can influence the Primary's actions/reactions. Mr Butcher's representation of Harry Dresden is a good example of this.

Now, take that and add the effect of every Character in the story is represented by a writing person.
Imagine that you get to see Murphy's view, along with Butter's View, along with Molly's view.
And even get a deeper view into Cowl's personality - or Old Nic's.

But, remember that while you (the Writer) can read these deep thoughts about these others, you can only respond to what your Character has actually
experienced. Which is far more challenging, to me.

Phillop: Greetings.

I have sent you a PM. Was not sure if I should try and post it here.
Respond at your convience.

Greetings. I normally don't really consider myself to be a writer.

However, some of my counterpostings on the Dresdenverse - with DVW and Meg - count as compositions.
Technically.

RPG-related Forums can also help locate other Gamers near you.

Pen and Paper Games - http://www.penandpapergames.com/forums will give you how far people are from you, with travel distances.
Giant in the Playgound - http://www.giantitp.com/forums also check out the comic: Order of the Stick

There are others out there, but too much at once can be just as much a problem as not enough.

Be honest, who is going to (besides me) buy the book with no intention of playing, but just to read it and look at the pretty pictures?

*Raises Hand*
Although I intend to find a group for playing it in my area, before or after - I will still get it.

Mac's Place.

Ok, I can only recall two places where a full description of MacAnally's Place is given - at least not without re-re-re-re-reading the entire series, which I will do in a few months anyway, just not right now.

Note: I am only inlcuding the important parts, and not everything.

Storm Front. Chapter Five.
"Mac keeps a player piano."

"When you walk in, you take several steps down into a room with low clearance and ceiling fans."

"There are thirteen stools at the bar and thirteen tables in the room. Thirteen windows, set up high in the wall in order to be above ground level, let some light in from the street."

"Thirteen mirrors on the walls."

"Thirteen wooden columns, carved with the likeness from folktales and legends of the Old World."

"The colors are all muted, earth browns and sea greens."

"Mac makes his own beer, ale really."

"Mac does all his cooking on a wood burning stove."

Small Favor. Chapter 15
"There are 13 tables in the room, & 13 wooden pillars, each extensively carved with scenes mostly out of Old Wolrd fairy tales.
The bar is crooked and has 13 stools, and 13 ceiling fans."

(10) Small Favor - Chapter 2 "a beat-up old Volkswagon Beetle that had originally been a powder blue, but was now a mix of red, blue, green, white, yellow, and now primer grey on the hood."

Ok. It took me reading through the entire series again, but I found the trivia for the Blue Bettle.

The Blue Beetle

(01) Storm Front - “1 Green Door. White Door. Red Hood.”

(02) Fool Moon – Same.

(03) Grave Peril - “Driver = White. Passenger = Red.” No reason listed.

(04) Winter Knight - Chapter : “Dented hood killing Chlorofiend.” Chapter : “Fix worked on the Blue Beetle's engine.”

(05) Death Masks - “Bullet holes in hood. Shot out one headlight.” Passenger side light?

(06) Blood Rites – Chapter 1: “Above plus: Mold Demons!” Chapter 3: “Vampire bent steering wheel.”
Chapter 42: “Repaired.”

(07) Dead Beat - “White. Yellow. Red. Green. Hood is primer Grey.”
Chapter 23: “Bullet Hole in hood.”

(08) Proven Guilty - “Hit & Run. Passenger side ruined.” Chapter 44: “Repaired.”

(09) White Night – Chapter 1: “Multicolored.” Chapter 19: “Battlescared glory.”

I'm still reading my way through (10) Small Favor.
I'll update as soon as I get it done, though.

Kuvah and MerriSedai Welcome to the Site.

Last I heard, we had already passed the end of the "Alpha Testing" period, and they were supposed to be doing "Beta Testing" soon.

Wish I had more to offer - sorry.

By the way - if you have not had the chance yet, go say "Hello" in the Introduction Thread in MacAnally's
http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,8655.0.html

It is possible that a Whampire that has allowed their Inner Demon to take control of them might not be Soulgaze-able.
- or perhaps one would never want to do so. I mean, would Harry really want to soulgaze Vittero ?
