In fact, I even had the joy of dying because the network connection from my laptop to our wireless isn&#8217;t working properly.  In knew in advance that the connection was shaky, so it&#8217;s totally my fault.  That&#8217;ll teach me to hunt above my level.  Well, it&#8217;s been a long time since I died, so it was probably something I needed to have happen again, just to keep in touch with the total playing experience.  I lost a LOT of field experience, but I got back all my stuff, so I suppose all&#8217;s well that ends well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dragonrealms.net\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.play.net\/images\/official\/drplay.gif\" alt=\"Play DragonRealms!\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\"><\/a>It&#8217;s been really fun to explore new places and connect with new people.  We&#8217;ve got some talented GMs, and seeing what they&#8217;ve done has made me want to get into it a bit more.  I identified a few tiny little things I can do, and have sent queries off to the appropriate people to see if they mind me mucking around with their stuff.  Everybody who&#8217;s responded so far has been enthusiastic.  There&#8217;s not a lot of territoriality behind the scenes.  We&#8217;re lucky to have a good staff who recognize that we&#8217;re all on the same team.<\/p>\n<p>My husband is on furlough this week, which is an unpaid leave which his business is using to cut costs.  Everybody&#8217;s having to do them; it&#8217;s not a special thing for which he&#8217;s been singled out.  This marks the first time in 15 years that he hasn&#8217;t been tethered to his work by an internet connection.  He&#8217;s using his time off to go camping and spend some time with his father.  Em expressed today how much she misses him.  It&#8217;s unusual for her to verbalize something like that, so he was able to go off on his adventure today feeling very loved.  He won&#8217;t be gone long, and then we&#8217;ll have him all to ourselves for the rest of the week.  His daughter is delighted by that.<\/p>\n<p>As much as I&#8217;d like to work on Dragonrealms stuff right now, I have Jayne hat business to attend to first.  I&#8217;ll be stamping up boxes and shipping things out while my daughter is at dance camp this morning.  It&#8217;s a very busy time here, with convention season upon us.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll try to get a D&#038;D writeup out in the next few days.  Until then, gentle readers!<br \/>\n<br clear-all><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s been a mini-fest going on in Dragonrealms over the last couple of days.
