I spent entirely too long on my latest Shinigami Dance post. So many implications, so many twists—and I'm still not finished working out the kinks on a few of them. Ugh. >_<
Sadly, I think I'm going to be putting my Hero Quest gagfic on the back burner for a while. I really want to give it a go, just for something completely unserious at all, but I was looking over the notes I took from the last one and the funniest segments were someone doing the hokey-pokey and subsequently being hit in the head with a gold coin, PRIEST SMASH, and a room descending upon the dwarf in a fit of madness and the wizard helping.
(He didn't, actually, and I ended up slaying random creatures from the doorway while the dwarf died. I would have helped, but there was no way to ease the load on him and still protect the casters.)
And for the other stuff, the guy who plays the Wizard was just a spoiled brat. It's hard to have a fun time when you're constantly waiting for ONE GUY to drop it already.
I thought briefly about getting with someone and kind of coauthoring the concept, but half of the gags stem from really stupid or really epic dice rolls—like the ridiculous amazing win-turn-to-fail turn of the Paladin that I posted about a while back; or when the Thief and I defeated a gargoyle and were immediately beset by six of his friends seeking vengeance, and I killed them all on defense. That's kind of hard to do over the internet.
Closing notes, unrelated to the title:
If you're unable to get over one site, then despite what anyone says, you still need to grow up. Alongside that, if your altruism leads you to expend your energy on a situation that both has been decided already and will resolve on its own, you need to look again at your priorities. If your good intentions are only making the situation worse, the same applies.
