A journey through a land of fantasy…

A hiatus in life, not in the game…

I haven’t written anything, for a variety of reasons.  First, I took a vacation from work and pretty much ignored everything other than playing computer games and getting some work done around the house.  Both were extremely successful and my quality of life has increased quite a bit.

Second, I’ve realized that I’m a little burned out on D&D at the moment.  I spent the last couple of weeks creating a new character for my husband’s campaign – an Ultimate Magus built off a wizard/beguiler.  I’m also in another campaign which just started up in which I’m playing a druid.  Not only have I never played a druid, this game is in a GM-designed world in which the druid, cleric, and wizard classes are extremely limited, so I’m spending my time trying to make a playable character out of her.

(As a side note, the campaign is very low-magic and non-epic, so the characters have low stats and at best, masterwork items.  The druids and clerics have to learn spells from a spellbook like a wizard does (not that the GM allows the PCs to be clerics), so either I only memorize healing spells, or we spend what little gold we do get only on healing potions.  It’s cumbersome almost to the point of deciding to leave the game.)

So, it seems that most of my time has been spent thinking about D&D, and not about D&D in this game.  Unfortunately, when that happens, writing here ends up being the thing that suffers.  Hopefully I’ll have more time next week to get back here in force.
