I'd wait until you're more financially secure, myself. It's fun 'n all, but not to the point of intentionally draining your life away.

And by that point, you'll have grown out of it. The only time WoW was actually fun for me was when I was either stoned or drunk, and drunk at least is a lot harder for you Yanks to achieve. It's just a bunch of nerds trying to be someone else (and before anyone points out that here is basically the same, this involves writing, and some damn fine stuff at that, whereas WoW is just walking around hitting giant rats with swords), and that doesn't really appeal to me.
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

Honestly I wasn't planning to start properly until after the 8th, when I was finished with my exams. I haven't really got time at the moment. Well, I shouldn't have time, but this could totally be a part of my procrastination process. :p Give me a couple of days to put some things together and I'll see what I can do about kicking things off.
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

Bah. I was slightly kidding. I am a bit anxious to get going but it's whatever. Write the epicness of ch. 4 first! I demand it!

Copa: I've got to finish Chapter 3 first, so it may be a while. That's why I've included a summary of what happened and an overview of the aftermath. Anyway, I'm going to have to get 10-15 pages worth of posts into this, so it will definitely take some time to write. I shall try to make it suitably epic and awesome, though.
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

Speaking of which, Vort, I was sort of planning on the assassin-dudes Morion recruited to help out in at least stalling, if not outright killing some of Vayu's retainers until the main group can arrive and fight him in the citadel. I think that could help keep things in some form of continuity :p

The Hashid, weren't they? OK, I'll work that in. Speaking of which, I've just posted the first part of the continuation of the story here. SWG, I hope I've done justice to Zhar.

I believe so, yes. If I can throw some motivation together, I may make a post detailing the defense of the Third Gate soon...

Vort, what are you going to do with Varin?

SWG sent me the outline of the fight between Varin and Zhar, and I'm going to write that up as best I can for you guys, assuming you wouldn't rather do it yourselves?

I'm debating on posting something. It seems my motivation for this storyline has gone slightly slack :/

I meant whether you'd let him live or not :)

(possible spoilers?)
I thought you were going to have him live the duel?

Just cause you don't want to be him any more doesn't mean you have to kill him off.
Although, you were sent by Vayu with the goal of killing Zhar, As part of showing Vayu's evilness (and also his new power) he could maybe kill Varin for failing in that mission.


edit: and so, are our lizard men going to look like this, this or this?

all three of which look awesome and actually make me think it might not be a bad idea to go out and shamelessly use images from whatever sources and show in the character race guidelines (a picture really does say a thousand words, and when you have great pictures like that it makes you realise anew what cool possibilities we have :))

All of those links redirected me to their homepage, think you can host them at imageshack or whatever or just put them up in here?

Wait, I thought we were going to have Varin die? And, SWG, I think after a big magical battle like Zhar and Varin would have, I don't think Zhar would hesitate a moment in shoving his kriss right in Varin's face.

And try this link for my big new post. If you can see the forum called 'Arsencian Archive' you should be fine with this. Otherwise I'll have another fiddle around with ACP.
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

Actually, I wanted to kill him off so I wouldn't be distracted by the time I had to focus on my exams.

Well, my exams are over now and Varin hasn't died yet, so I'll have to decide what I'm going to do with him and this RPG (continue to write or not).
