On Feints Finally got to read the mechanics for feints in The Riddle of Steel RPG and it has struck me that people there have been a bit too precocious. As I understand it one feints in combat in order to do one thing, draw the defender off balance. Now the attempt can start in one of two ways, either in a slash or as a thrust aimed as to mislead the defender as to your intentions. Though keep in…

Back in 1620 ad the Aztec and Spaniards had a tussle. As part of it the Aztecs were introduced to the Spanish horsemen. Before you knew it the Aztecs had stories of these strange creatures running around on 4 limbs with humans growing out of their backs. If these reminds you of stories of the Greek centaurs, you pretty much got it. You get right down to it, the centaur was pretty much a mistake.…

I just downed some chicken and my body wants to go back to slumber so it can incorporate the nutrients in my corpus. I will get back to blogging, but my frame needs a bit of reconstitution. And I’m still waiting for word from PACE San Diego.

I have come to the conclusion that I will likely need to start on dialysis. Soon, I do hope, I’ll be getting a referral to a nephrologist, and should he find what I think he’s going to find I’m going to be setting in a chair while my blood gets rinsed out and working on my iPad. By then I should have a keyboard and maybe even a new ipad.  The one I have now just has problems. (I know, the money…

It seems that at the moment I have a cold. And I’m worn out. Thanks to my knee I had a trip to the emergency, and apparently thanks to my visit there I’m suffering from a head cold. I have a greater need to sleep than I do to produce. On the other hand I am expecting a few changes in my life. A appear to be enrolled in the local PACE program, which means I’ll be getting more and better support,…

With Joe Biden starting his presidency on 1/1/2021 we can give Trump a rest and get back to some truly important stuff. Namely, that black lives matter. And don’t give me any of that stuff about all lives mattering, black lives are the ones we are putting into danger. That’s what it comes down to, we put black lives in peril and all thanks to the need some of us have to abuse certain parties just…

What a Persona Is

In the Dangerous Journeys engine a Persona is what the role a participant, player or guide, assumes during the course of play is called. In effect he sort of represents the participant, though a particular participant –even a player– can be asked to play a number of roles.

The Types

The role the player assumes is known as an Heroic Persona (HP), an HP being an extraordinary soul…

Twould be appreciated.

Found that I need to get an iPad keyboard from Apple, and a working iPad Pencil (the one I have now doesn’t work. You can donate via the link I provided if you’d like to.

I’m also being monitored at the moment. My cardiologist wants a one week record of my heart beat, likely to see if I need a pacemaker. And my left knee is giving me problems, I think it has something to do with the tendons there.

I Could Use the Money

Here’s a link for you to use: Donations.

New keyboard and pencil for my iPad is what I’m looking for.

First I got my iPad. Now I just need to get it set up, and for that I need to find my password for the modem I use.

But then I learn that my caregiver is having a hard time breathing. It could be c19, but I hope not. I do have her phone number but I don’t have email. In any case could you drop me a line for her I can pass on?

In any case I’ve got a site to set up for the Mythus RPG, and I’ll be…

So now I’m posting again to let you know I’m still here and that I’m doing stuff. Mythus the RPG is underway and I think I’m just going to start a new blog dedicated to it. The new blog will be called Mythus and will be housed at mythus.mythusmage.today once I’ve gotten things set up.

The regret being that a muscle cramp has worn me down. I need to exercise, I need to eat and drink, I need to get my brain in gear and start cogitating. And heat pads, can’t forget the heat pads. Though I have gotten a few ideas about adventures occurring while you heal.  So you’re a ranger with a busted leg and he’s been left in camp to keep an eye on things. He has visitors, a kobold band that…

I’m Back!

I’m feeling better, and thanks to Ken St. Andre of Tunnel and Trolls fame I’ve got an idea, which I need to work out. But expect something in the near future.

Ken St. Andre, author and designer of a load of stuff, gave me some ideas recently. You see, the TrollGodFather as he is also known was recently in an auto accident. He’s now in a nursing home in Arizona recovering from the accident and regaling his audience with his adventures. That gave me my first idea.

In the typical RPG when your role, your character or Persona, is injured in some manner you…

My heart function is at 35%, so I may soon be on palliative care.
