    10 hours to staycation. 10 hours!

    dancing jiggy - jiggy/jiggy

    i put in for this staycation cuz i thought i would be playing with pp14. no pp4 yet. sigh. so, now it's playing with wings and render projects staycation.

    jiggy dance jiggy jig jig lol

    10 hours to margeritas and daquiris.

    lessee, definitely tiki bar renders. purple squirrel. hmm, i know, afterglow renders without the telltale cigarette. - that should be a challenge. tee hee

    oh yeah, it came to me last night. trying to find the right word. dragon kings and queens in my stories can have multiple wives and husbands. didn't know what terminology to use. but then the word came - 'spouses' lol, simple and encompasses all those wives and husbands without any slave connotations. and instead of having concubines, they have favored. and my big decision about clerics vs priests, decided to use both. cuz priestess is kewller than cleric. so far is a goddess Astra and goddess Emerata. borrowing Ares and Vesta. no roman gods.

    ...my weakness is Political Thrillers. Similar to mysteries, but with more "wheels within wheels".

    Those take some work, especially weaving in subplots. Too much trouble for meeeeeeeeeeeee!


    ...you should have been in my RPG group when I was running my Rhapsody in Shadow campaign (which spawned the Leela story). There were so many wheels turning that the players' heads were spinning.

    Was real fun to manage in the days before I got my first notebook pooter.

    I have a file drawer three quarters full with notebooks (of the spiral bound variety), folders with sketches of locations & characters the players would meet as well as floor-plans and maps (used a Michelin map of Europe, as well as city maps of London, Vienna, Zagreb and Beograd - the last being pretty hard to find and the one i have is all in Cyrillic - to plot their trails).

    The cool thing about the game system I used (FASA'a Shadowrun) was that many of their "canned" missions used what is known as the "Decision Tree" format which promoted subplots rather than the railroading "dungeon crawl" type most other systems employed. If the team played heir cards right, they could accomplish the mission without going though every segment.though they might miss critical information or contacts that could make some scenes easier to handle.

    For example, they could succeed in extracting the heiress who was kidnapped and get the plans for a new prototype drone, but fail in getting "paydata" that listed names of Lonestar officers "on the take" (which their "Johnson" would have rewarded them extra for) because they bypassed the HR datastore in the corp's matrix in their haste. In what is called the "picking up the pieces" segment, Lonestar (a commercial police service similar to OCP in Robocop) would later do a round up of the "usual suspects" which could include some of the characters' contacts (and in this game, contacts are better than gold).

    Even my SF RPG campaign that i ran for almost three years back in the 80s was pretty much a political thriller set in the future. The notes from that fill another file drawer plus a small milk crate.


    Yeah I totally geek on that kind of stuff.


    "...remember DImitri, miles to go before I sleep"

    Wow, that's pretty cool! Sounds like it'd be fun to play, if a bit mentally challenging.

    it's not possible to parent to a morph, correct?
    so a mustach prop wouldn't move with the visemes?
    or eyelash jewels to eyelashes?
    parenting beard straggles to lower jaw isn't going to accomplish anything?

    http://www.daz3d.com/fast-grab-3d-models/genesis-evolution-morph-bundle
    There are two more items but they're in the morph bundle
    At 70% off, I don't think you're gonna get 'em at a better price.

    It would depend on the Parenting, but I think a chin beard and Lash jewels should follow properly. Never tested it yet myself.
