Hello IGS,

I thought it might do to take a break from all the serious topics and discussions with a fun little announcement. I will be arranging to host a tabletop roleplaying game. For those of you unfamiliar with the concept, basically, you and a few others get together, and create characters, using rules laid out by a set of rulebooks describing a given setting. The Dungeon Master, me in this case, then leads you through a series of adventures by acting as the controller for the world and all the non-player characters.

In this case, the game system being used is Mages and Fates, a fantasy system created by Gallentean company Shavieroux Entertainment. In this system, players select a character's race, job, and abilities from a series of fantasy options. The world includes magic, supernatural creatures, ancient warriors, and all manner of anachronistic fun.

I don't want to go over five players, I've never actually DMed this system before so its probably gonna be a bit rough, but I still think it'll be fun. I already have Stitcher in as a probable, so that leaves just four slots. If you're interested, send me a mail and I'll see that you get a copy of the source materials. Once I have players, we can choose a schedule for the game when everyone's consistently free for a few hours.

Is this fantasy world created by the DM, a virtual world that we must "jack" into? Forgive my ignorance of the concept.

((OOC Sepherim, the irony is just to funny)

Hmm interesting. At the moment with the new influx of prisoners I am not sure I could manage the time to do this but please inform me if you choose to do this again at some point.

*claps hands together in glee* Oh it sounds like fun! I remember my children used to play these odd tabletop games when I wouldn't let them access electronic amusements. I'd be interested in trying my hand. Is there a spot open for a healer?

Glad to see it seems that I'll be free to participate in this.

Sounds like a great way to meet some new folks and have an enjoyable time. I call the Rogue slot - lock up your valuables everyone!

I heard Sepherim had fun once, and he hated it.

Do you guys still need a mage of some description?

Oh mr. Sepherim, a small amount of diversion from reality isn't a bad thing. One needs a break from the war, strife, and hunger now and again. Besides, isn't getting drunk a bit of an diversion anyway?

Besides, a little bit of role-playing can be done constructively. As mentioned my historical game as a child taught me and my sister about history. Also let us explore aspects of our personality that we wouldn't normally display.

That said I don't know much about the fantasy version from the federation at all... Likely filled with as much smut one should come to expect.

Perhaps I have been too favorable.

Running away from reality takes away the fun in it, it's no longer you. Pretending to be someone else is an effort that's wasted on so much thought for that, when having fun is mostly a thing about not thinking on anything. Drinking follows this line: I don't like to get so drunk I forget who I am, just a little happy. Roleplaying is just like videogames, useless nerd games, appropriate for those that can't have fun in the real world with real people.

As for your question, I guess I am too drunk to have any fear of you and so I dare, Captain Ixiris. Or something like that. *Sepherim's image winks at the screen*

For you, maybe. Personally, I derive my greatest pleasure from engaging my brain, whether in learning new things or working on a project.
