General Housekeeping

Just got home from playing D&D. Had a TON of fun - the new group (Brett, Matt, Luke, Jarrod, and Michael) is really working well together, and everybody's working out well. Caleb was thinking about rejoining, but I don't think he's going to. Admittedly, I was kind of a bitch to him, but he won't admit that he has a tendency to play characters that don't really get along with the group. And it's just as much him as it is the characters - he roleplays great, it's just that... I don't know. He just really seems to enjoy it when his characters annoy others. Admittedly, I used to do that. But that was, um, five years ago? I've definitely matured since then, in a variety of ways. The character I had in Jarrod's game - I forget his name - was an interesting character. He was a young wizard's apprentice who was also studying clerical magic. Young, untested, but still worked well with the party. Yes, the mysterious loner is a fascinating, great character archetype. But in a party based setting where you're directly working together with three to five other people, it's not quite as feasible. Jarrod and Michael are both dealing with the same issue, and walking that line much better. They've also both presented me with ideas about what prestiege classes they'd like to enter, and I have a few ideas for each. It's gonna be awesome! We're playing again tonight, after I get out of work. Man.
