How's everybody doin'?

Remember me? Okay, I've been a huge flake as of late. Disappearing for long stretches of time... That's normally the thing that makes me angry when other people do it, so I feel deeply sorry for doing it to you guys. Granted, I'm not that important a person, so most of you probably don't care too much about it. Even so, I'll just let you know that going to college full-time during the day and working a full-time job at night kind of kills a good deal of the free time. Add to that the fact that I finally found an MMORPG that my good friends who up until now wouldn't play MMORPGs are now willing to play with me (Guild Wars), and you can see why I haven't been showing up in IRC very much lately.

Despite that, there are times when I'm home, online, and not doing much. Usually these are the times after I get home from closing the store I now work at (sometime after 9pm EST, depending on how long it takes me to count all the funds, prepare the next day's deposit, etc. etc.), since the affore-mentioned friends tend to not stay up as late as I do and are either asleep or too tired to play by then. So, thinking about it, I wondered why I haven't been visiting #game1 more. Since I haven't been able to come up with much of a reason not to, I think I'll start showing up more often.

So, what's new? I know 4ways died, and I see there's going to be a "Fin..." sequel, but I was wondering if there are any games going on that I might be able to get involved with. I've been bitten by the Roleplaying Bug again recently due to a few attempts friends have been making recently to run things. I could really go for a nice Unkown Armies game... preferrably an Alcar-run Unknown Armies game. In reality, though, I know that Alcar is probably really busy most of the time, so I wouldn't want to try to pressure him into running something he doesn't feel like/have time for. Therefore, I'll take what I can get.

Mortal City

The La Fin De Siecle sequel. Set 4 years later, with the PC having become a model student and recluse after saving the world and trying to somehow forget all that had happened and live in a "sane" world. MJ and Nora took a year off to travel, and then did a year of school. The second year is almost about to begin in Bellona, a suburb/city/town of Municiburg that isn't (yet) part of the 'burg. MJ has worked at the dojo, a store, and is going out with her BF Vance more more often and slowly but surely getting a normal life again.

Kind of a pity for her that the second campaign will begin then, eh? :)

In tone, it's going to be a bit dark. (No surprise there ...) And far more low powered and low-key compared to the first campaign. Perhaps they'll save their lives, save others who need it, help the city and themselves. They saved the world once, after all. Too often and it'd get repetitive :)
