Anoth­er month has past not a whole lot new going on. Admit­ted­ly, I’ve been in some­what of a cre­ative slump and haven’t real­ly had much to talk about. There have been a few things though I can talk about.

First, I’ve fin­ished sea­son 4 of Low­er Decks with Embyr. Over-all I loved the sea­son. I did have a bit of a Trekie-nerd moment with the fifth episode Empatha­log­i­cal Fal­lac­i­es. Based on what I know of the Alpha and Beta quad­rants of the Milky Way it does­n’t make sense that they could ever cross into the Neu­tral Zone on a course to Betazed. It just does­n’t make sense. Oth­er than that its hilar­i­ous and the jokes are great. “Does­n’t he look like Tom Paris?” Brilliant!

When we fin­ished Low­er Decks we need­ed some­thing else to watch and Em gave me the choice, after adding a cou­ple of restric­tions (Her­cules in New York, Arnold Schwarzeneg­ger’s first movie, and Kung Pow — Enter The Fist) I put on Episode 1 of the Ama­zon Series Wheel of Time. I had start­ed read­ing the books about 20 years ago and fin­ished the last four a they were released. I had fin­ished sea­son 1 of the series but had­n’t yet fin­ished sea­son 2. I was quite hap­py to hear that Em loved it. We made it through the whole series in only a few days. I’ve restart­ed the books and I’m about halfway through the third at the time of posting.

I’ve done some more cannabis relat­ed exper­i­ments and made some infused oil. The stuff works. My lat­est batch is a stronger one, the colour is notably dark­er than my last batch but I haven’t tried it yet. My oth­er batch­es have worked great for cook­ing and tak­ing a few drops direct­ly from an eye­drop­per. I have every­thing I need to make some gum­mies, includ­ing a Pikachu gum­mi mold. I just haven’t got­ten around to mak­ing them just yet. I want to do it dur­ing a week­end. I real­ly should do that.

Em and myself just did our quar­ter­ly Lega­cy of Fire Pathfind­er game. The GM has let us know we’ve reached the fifth book of six in the series. We’re near­ing the end of the cam­paign which has me in a mixed emo­tion­al state. I love that our group is near­ly com­plete in accom­plish­ing our mis­sion. On the oth­er hand I’m wor­ried that it might be the end of our gam­ing. What do we do when the adven­ture ends? The Gamemas­ter is a cre­ative one, so I think he’d be able to con­tin­ue to run adven­tures for a while but will every­one else want to? Will the games become less frequent?

Our King­mak­er cam­paign is still in an uncer­tain state. Our group has lost sev­er­al peo­ple since it start­ed, gained some­one, and then lost them the day before the next ses­sion was to start. Our par­ty for­ma­tion is pret­ty heav­i­ly mag­ic ori­ent­ed and the only front line war­rior is our cham­pi­on. I play a bard, Embyr plays a Sum­mon­er, and the last par­ty mem­ber is a sor­cer­er. Our sec­ond last ses­sion end­ed with an encounter with kobold. I was like “Okay, we got this!” I assumed my nat­ur­al drag­on form with Em join­ing me and we went to talk with them. They were quite high at the time but now we have min­ions :D. Our last ses­sion was a dis­cus­sion on the PF2 Remas­tered changes and us chang­ing our par­ty around a bit. Em is swap­ping to Sorc. Our oth­er Sorc is chang­ing into a mêlée class, I don’t know which, Our Cham­pi­on is going War Priest. I had come into this con­sid­er­ing chang­ing to an Ora­cle so we’d have a stronger heal­er but with the oth­er changes I don’t think its nec­es­sary. Our next ses­sion is in December.

Work isn’t some­thing I real­ly like get­ting into my blog so I’ll be gloss­ing over that and just say­ing its been busy. Today has proven to very much be a Mon­day. I don’t like Mondays

I’m a good ways into Dis­gaea 7 but haven’t real­ly done much of it in the last few weeks. I’ve also kept up with the spe­cial raid events on Poké­mon with Embyr hav­ing got­ten the spe­cial Eevee on our first attempt. In oth­er gam­ing news Em and myself have been con­tin­u­ing with our Cob­ble­mon serv­er. We’ve advanced pret­ty far in the mod­pack, we’re into end game con­tent but there is still plean­ty we can do. 

Art­wise Octo­ber had been a pret­ty busy month for Embyr, with near­ly dai­ly streams for Kink­to­ber. I post­ed at least one piece of that pre­vi­ous but I have anoth­er I’ve yet to post, sev­er­al sketch­es Em has made, and a cou­ple of WIPs we got from Tirol. So much love­ly art!

That’s it for me today. Take care.
