Tala Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Howdy Nerds! New to Nerd Fitness. At a pretty low mental and physical point in my life. Been here before, but finding it hard to get energy, motivation, commit to change. You all know the drill. So I've got the usual goals and drives (lose weight, gain strength, gain flexibility, blah blah)... but I'm giving myself a very specific 'vanity' goal - I wanna be able to dress up in the costume of Flemeth as she appears in Dragon Age III. So badass. I'm seeing this as a more realistic goal than to turn into a dragon. Anyway, hello and howdy and I hope to get some help getting started and find some buddies to help with accountability. If you like larping, video games, roleplaying, Dragon Age, The Witcher, and Baldur's Gate, then we'll get on swell. Drop me a line. It'd be nice to have some buddies to keep me coming back to this site and help me keep the habit. Quote Link to comment
Tala Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Er... real dumb question, but how do I find the current 4 week challenge? :/ Quote Link to comment
Tala Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Found it! Or, rather, discovered I just make my own challenge. I'd thought it was something the admins post, and we follow. Quote Link to comment

Like you my goals are losing weight and gaining strength and I too hope this will help me with cosplay; I'm leaning more toward superheroes, but a fantasy-creature like a faun would be cool too. I have never played Dragon Age, but it sounds like a cool game (I loved BioWare's Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic). 1 Quote Vegan Superhero-in-training Level 7 Current challenge: on break Past challenges: March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, June/July 2016, August/September 2016, October 2016, November 2016 Link to comment

I do larping as a hobby so there's scope for alll kindsa wild costuming there. At the moment I just play a noblewoman so it's kinda medieval-ish inspired, but I have plans for more fantastic costumes down the track. Oh man... I really really really recommend the Dragon Age trillogy. You can get Dragon Age Origins (the first one) super cheap on Steam these days. If you get it, let me know so I can hear how you're enjoying the story! 2 Quote Link to comment

Rinna Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Welcome! I play Skyrim, and have looked at Dragon Age, but am worried about content. Is it a "safe"game? ( Main worries are sex, nudity. Have a young-ish son.)

Setting a goal of feeling awesome wen you dress up as Black Widow sounds like a good thing to aim for - screw what other people think! <3 It's how YOU feel in the costume that matters <3 Dragon Age does have romance and some adult themes. Not sure what the actual raiting is but there is a bit of nudity in some of the sexy scenes - but it's a bit tame and if you don't follow the romance plots you may not see them. Quote Link to comment

Aetheriata Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 My first thought actually was: "she wants to become a dragon in the gym, that's so badass!" but, uh, cosplay makes more sense probably XD great goal! welcome! The challenges confused me at first, too. Quote Link to comment
