Looks like we still could use some IC discussion of the stuff you folks decided OOC. As usual: try to get that in if you have time. Elsewise, I'll just tally actions as you wrote you wanted things done in the OOC.

I'll be posting an update this Sunday. All seems well on my end.

Liking music you used to hate and music you used to like (but don't anymore)?

All this talk of celtic music and celtic inspired music reminds me of a great Michael Brecker piece, Itsbynne Reel. Man, Brecker was just a beast.

@Thortimer

I never heard that! Nice. Nice.

Man, though, I get frightened that one of his instruments is about to break at points. That's fun to listen to, though. I couldn't listen to it all day, but it's definitely enjoyable.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

I even made a bloody map!

DID YOU SAY MAP?!

I like maps.

I'm gonna go find your RP just so I can look at the map now.

@Shorticus

Ayyyyyy. What do your people think of the Kashar Clans?

@Lauder

...Okay, in all seriousness: I dunno. Frengo and I never talked about the Kashar Clans.

But essentially, if you're on friendly terms with Zhodul, you're probably on friendly terms with Ardonia. If you raid and enslave people, probably disliked a LOT. Ardonia tries to keep to itself, but it's not against raising the blue and gold to ride out against someone whose people keep attacking them or other peaceful nations.

@Shorticus Question, would you mind if my guys sometimes raided Heartvale? I doubt there would be a trade agreement and I'm having a shortage of slave lands from which my people can pull slaves. Don't worry, no real harm will be done. I'd say that halflings are not that desired as workforce slaves rather than house-keepers. So I won't be needing too much of them. So yeah, would this be agreeable?

@Legion02

Certainly! Also realize, of course, that means there may be a counter attack in order eventually, and Ardonia has its share of allies.

Liking music you used to hate and music you used to like (but don't anymore)?

@Shorticus Am I little scared to hear what Celtic music you were listening too...There's plenty that exists that isn't fake sounding at all, especially genre mixing like Celtic metal or rock. Even stand alone, I'm not sure if I've ever heard fake Celtic instruments beside maybe like electronica used for pop or rap songs. o.

@SleepingSilence

How can I put it...

Okay:

THIS is a traditional Nordic music excerpt I can find pretty easily. It sounds natural, because it IS natural. It's traditional. It's got real instruments. Love it.

But when I type in "Celtic music" into Google, or try to find Irish music, or w/e... I get synthetic stuff that's made from what was ORIGINALLY normal stuff. Like: someone took a sound program that has the sounds they want, then just put it together and decided that makes this Celtic music. Which, okay, that piece isn't horrible. But then we start to get to, say... THIS GUY. I want to punch this guy and his brother. Holy moly, they muck up my searches for REAL Celtic music so much.

It sucks doubly hard because I'm running a roleplay based around Irish-inspired clans.

Let sleeping dogs lie.

Okay! I don't have another exam until the middle of next week... So, expect a post tomorrow morning or afternoon.

You got it, dude. Have a great time with your tabletop!

@Seravee

Will try. I've been wanting to GM some Dungeon World for some time.

Who Can Post Last?

B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

And then there's the Undertale fandom.

@ClocktowerEchos

I expect a reply will come to this, so I'm going to duck behind this ten foot thick steel door for cover and let you fine folks discuss that matter cordially amongst yourselves.
