Dammit! It happened again.

Sorry for being mostly silent lately.

And... (sigh)... AGAIN, it was D&D.

See... we started a game of Pathfinder, and I came up with having to fill the role of Rogue. Except I mostly think Rogues suck, so I went looking for an alternative, and came up with Investigator, a recent;y added hybrid class (Rogue/Alchemist). So I had to learn Alchemist class stuff. Then, of course, I had to figure out my level progression so i didn't reach an ugly bottle-neck in the build. And of course that led to looking up what Feats to select, optimize for either melee or range, determine if extra Inspiration was worth it... ugh... You know Gamer Nerd stuff. :D

But I've mostly burned out all possible options, AND the weather is getting nice again, and I feel like goofing with multitools.

Sorry about my long bouts of silence. They in no way reflect on the awesomeness that is MTO. Rather, I fall deeply... disturbingly... into a hobby for periods of time and then out again, cyclicly.


Glad you're back Lynn!!  I have had my own bouts of silence here, sometimes life gets in the way of MT discussion. 


I'm sure I said something in this thread last time, but I've always wanted to try D&D,  but I don't know anyone who is involved with it.  I suppose I don't really have time for it but the idea is appealing.  I guess I'll have to stick to reading Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms novels!

Playing the game is so much more fun. You end up with stories of your own heroic (ahem) deeds, and terrible, dirty jokes.

I'd love to say 'it's not hard to learn', but that's coming from someone who picked it up as a bored teen, when all I had was time.

I hate to say it, being that i've actually worked for Margaret Weis, but Dragonlance was ... mmm... not to my taste.

I really enjoyed the Dragonlance novels as a teen.  Sadly my love for reading dwindled after high school.

I remember reading Dragonlance at the age of 12, and I loved it.  I then reread the original trilogy and the second generation novels again when the newer trilogy came out in 99.  I have reread every one of them that I own but I stopped around 8 or 9 years ago.  I still have most of them, including the Annotated Chronicles in one book.  I just dug them all out of storage, and I plan on reading them again.


I am currently reading the entire Legend of Drizzt series again starting from book 4, since my mom borrowed the first three and never gave them back. 


After all these, I plan on finally tackling The Hobbit, The Silmarilion, and the Lord of the Rings.  I have all but the Hobbit, so that's one I have to buy. 


I really don't think I have time to learn D&D, at least not now.  I am starting school back up at the age of 30 with two kids, a full time job, and a house that I have to remodel in order to sell.  Kinda busy!

The Lord of the Rings is a tough read. It is in a very particular style that really turns some people off. I started it in (I think) the 6th grade? Got about half way through 'The Two Towers' and was just feeling like I'd totally missed some part of the story.

Then in 9th grade, I picked up 'The Silmarilion', and had the big 'Aha' moment. It was like all the little asides in the Lord of the Rings suddenly made sense. However, the Silmarillion is not so much a narrative as a brief history of Middle Earth. It felt to me like Edith Hamilton's nonfiction 'Greek Mythology', not a novel. However, if you can manage it, it GREATLY (IMO) illuminates Lord of the Rings.

The Hobbit always felt a little bit too much like a children's book (which is, I believe, the intent). It never seemed to have the gravity I associate with Lord of the Rings. Good, but not necessary.

You ever tried the Chronicles of Amber? I found the first few to be entertaining. Also, also, a sort of 'D&D in modern day' series you might consider are the Dresden Files books, which I find tremendous fun.

I have heard that about the lord of the rings/silmarilion from a good friend who has read them multiple times.  He told me if I could get past chapter 7 then I would be fine.  I can power through I think!

I will bookmark the chronicles of amber and Dresden files for future reading, though ATM I am full up.  I have all that I mentioned plus I still have harry potter 6 and 7, the complete wheel of time series, and two action novels to read.

The secret to reading Lord of the Rings is to just "get past" the Tom Bombadil section in the first book.  There are reasons for it being in there, but it doesn't add anything to the narrative and is quite jarring IMO.  I have some big criticisms of the films, but missing out Tom Bombadil isn't one of them.
