No run today, as we are shifting our long run to tomorrow cause it's my wife birthday and she wants to run. Seemed fair to me. No written progress on my module, though I've got a few ideas rolling around for foes as there are lots of bots/Mecha types to be sorted as well as carnivorous plants!!!! Quotes that struck me The myriad rocks stretched on and slightly jagged the horizon, and all day there came no glimpse of the pale-blue mountains. That evening from his dwindling provision of wood Alveric made another fire; its little flame going up alone in that waste seemed somehow to reveal the monstrous loneliness. He sat by his fire and thought of Lirazel and would not give up hope, though a glance at those rocks might have warned him not to hope, for something in their chaotic look partook of the plain that bred them, and they hinted it to be infinite. ... And how the horns of Elfland blew over the barrier of twilight, to be heard by any ear in the fields we know, I cannot understand; yet Tennyson speaks of them as heard "faintly blowing" even in these fields of ours, and I believe that by accepting all that the poets say while duly inspired our errors will be fewest. So, though Science may deny or confirm it, Tennyson's line shall guide me here.

Knocked out a good 5 miler this morning - sadly no rain Last night' quote from The King of Elfland's Daughter: for it is ever the way of witches with any two things to care for the more mysterious of the two Another night with a glass of vino 2/5

Me? I'm a runner mostly - 5 marathons, a dozen or so half-marathons, and a smattering of other race distances. Been here (on and off) since 2011 or 12 I think. What guild / guilds are you interested in?

Ran a lovely 4 miler this morning, seems we need to get up/out the door earlier so my wife can get into the office for her 8am meetings... oops Had wine with dinner last night so 1/5 enjoyed. The King of Elfland's Daughter continues to entertain though the language is a touch more floral than I like in my books. I feel sort of bad for the characters as they're not relating / understanding each other, which I'm guessing is part of the point. Alveric is expecting Lirazel to just adapt but isn't helping her do so. While Lirazel just wants to continue doing things like she did in the Elflands. Think there is a lesson in there ...

This was the end of the chapter I read last night.

This topic needs 100% more RPG

3 months and no scouts? Guess we're all out running, swimming, or biking

To quote the great LL Cool J I been here for years now that you've got that ear worm ... onto the main event! Goal 1 - Avenue of Giants Half-Marathon Keeping up the training and running the race! A minimum of 2 midweek runs plus a long run on the weekend Goal 2 - Reduce Booze 5 drinks per week, minimize the each day drink Goal 3 - Finish and Release RPG content I've beenn working on an ICRPG module called A Port in A Space Storm, and I wanna get it released by end of the challenge Goal 4 - Keep Reading I need to keep reading and expanding my knowledge base Just finished David Edding's The Elenium trilogy and moved on to The King of Elfland's Daughter by Lord Dunsany. This is the list of recommendations I have currently - not sure I'll read all of them but definitely worth look into Black Easter by James Blish The Night Land by William Hope Hodgson Star of the Unborn by Franz Werfel The Mote in God's Eye by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle Jean le Flambeur trilogy Imperial Radach trilogy Revenger trilogy Book of the New Son Culture novels by I.M. Banks Eisenhorn Omnibus Ravenor omnibus The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester Random Acts Of Senseless Violence by Jack Womack Stand On Zanzibar by John Brunner Startide Rising (David Brin) Heart of the Comet (David Brin and Gregory Benford) Hyperion (Dan Simmons)

LONG LIVE Hammarfist !!!!

Welcome! I relocated you to the current challenge area

Sorry I had to get the sampler but it is much cooler here in San Francisco than where most of y'all are

Here to cheer this on!

So having enjoyed Zombies, Run! previously I have to inquire are you using the sprint option? If so how's it going?

Wednesday's 5 mile run went well ... Thursday's 3 mile ended just short due to my stumbling over a curb and banging up my knee on the sidewalk ... ugh Nothing broken, save skin, thankfully. Still a touch tender and definitely sore but that'll pass.
