Welcome To The Silly Season

I've started to notice a significant drop off in vocal activity. It's about that time from late June until early September when people drop off the radar for weeks on end, it gets a shade too hot to be hitting the keyboard, people are motivated towards eating, drinking and otherwise gadding about doing frivolous things.

And what of we, the Hosts? The artists? The creatives? I know that Mrs Monkey is busy working on her female oriented RP epic. I'm knee deep in writing for RE Vol 1 and Justin's sketching away for the same volume.

So what is there to report?

Not much.

Welcome to the silly season.

I could tell you that I had had some vague thoughts about helping out the aspiring RP hacker, or that I'd suddenly found that names are really important in Over The Edge, or that I was slightly concerned about the amount of goodies we're thinking of introducing into RE Vol 1...

But none of it makes a full post.

Besides, in the case of item 2 I'd really rather you had to ponder that one yourself. Names? Over The Edge? Hmmmm.

Blinking Hot!

I think the thing that annoys me most about this weather is that everywhere that's not air conditioned grinds to a sticky, sluggish halt. You breathe in apathy and breathe out lethargy. This, of course, discourages any kind of activity like sitting at a PC talking about role playing, or actually role playing.

The only thing I find myself particularly grateful for is that we have invented an RPG that can, if needs must, be played just about anywhere. Including in the cool air of an open sky evening as the sun sinks not slowly enough in the West.

This is an option I think we are going to have to look towards with keen interest as the stickiness quotient rises even further...
