Intro Post I believe it was ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ivo_shandor I met briefly at Origins. He was knitting a wicked cool Gryfindor tabi sock during one of my husband's games. Of course I had to visit to see the knitting action (much to my husband's dismay LOL). Anyway, he told me about the community and here I am. I think this picture sums up a lot of my knitting. The "love" fingerless glove is part of the "dice love" pair. That is a knit d4, and a couple of reversible doubleknit dice bags are peeking in the picture (the green and white "go play" logo and a "burning wheel" in the background).  | | Sunday, July 15th, 2007 | 2:37 pm

First post. The popular Japanese RPG Final Fantasy VIII has a certain, um, character with a certain outfit that has never been knit before. And I mean knit... and finished. UNTIL NOW!!I give you my completely hand-knit Rinoa Heartilly duster, soon to be blocked and otherwise topped off with a pair of armwarmers until I get the numb feeling out of my fingers.

For your amusement....Tina! pt 1 Okay, I was looking through my gaming folder this morning, and came across the diary I did for one of my RP characters, a cute little air-headed girl named Tina. So, I thought, "what the heck?" and decided to post it.... Some background.... This was a Chronicles of Amber game, Tina was what was considered "lost in Shadow", that is she was raised not knowing she was related to either a chaosian or an amberite [player-wise I didn't want to know either, it's easier that way when you're playing someone who doesn't. Unfortunately the game didn't last long enough for me to find out...LOL] In Tina's diary, the Lotus = the Logrus [the Chaosian's version of the pattern. From the descriptions I've read, kind of think about a multi-tentacled blob that can be used to reach across dimensions and grab stuff for the wielder. The "Maddie" that keeps getting mentioned was someone placed to watch Tina, I think, and posing as a maid in her household. For those *not* in the know, to be *extremely* simplistic, Shadow is essentially alternate dimensions, Chaos and Amber are the polar opposites [and yes, they're places] and the template that Shadows are based on. [for what it's worth, Earth is considered a Shadow too. LOL] The Pattern and the Logrus are used by Amberites and Chaosians respectively, and can be used to go from one Shadow to another, as well as to Chaos and Amber. Chaosians are shapeshifters, since the Logrus is essentially highly unstable, so you have to be a shapeshifter to keep up with the changes when initially walking it [basically Pattern and Logrus are patterns on the floor that one walks, and has the power when they're finished]. Now that I've totally confused you I'm sure...on with the diary!! LOL ( Tina's Journal, part 1 )cross-posted to my own journal Current Music: Inuyasha | | Tuesday, December 26th, 2006 | 7:31 pm

The coolest knitting pressie ever: I must gloat, because I can. We put a limit on x-mas pressie spending this year as a way of weaning ourselves off the holiday and commercialism. so we had a limit of £50.00 each. I got the best x-mas gift though. I am the proud owner of over 500 knitting needles in various sizes and the number keeps growing as people from the care home next door die and I seem to get the old needles. So I needed storage for them because I was sick of rummaging around in a cardboard box looking for me needles. Some of these are really nice vintage needles. Anyway; I got this:  Click on the icon to get the full picture. And no that is not the full 500+ I only have half in there.

hello
gaming and knitting! HUZZAH! I love to knit and I love to game. I DnD, I love board games like Powergrid, and Betrayal at house on hill, card games are great, I've played both Dnd minis and star wars minis and im not sure how I feel about those, and I love video games. I love knitting an crochet, I also sew. I am going to school for fashion design, and let me tell you, not enough gamers, they all take themselves too seriously, they don't want to create, they want to be the next channel or whoever they love. uh, ok, my intro turned into a rant, sorry. ^-^ | | Saturday, August 19th, 2006 | 4:04 pm

Alright ladies, I need some suggestions for yarn shops in Vacouver and south of Vancouver. My Canadian boyfriend has decided I shall go with him to his mother land and I made him promise that we'd visit game shops and yarn shops.
Who can help me out? | | Wednesday, August 16th, 2006 | 10:48 am

I have a knitting question
Where can I get a yarn baller and How do I use it? I discovered that I prefer balls of yarn instead of the pull skeins due to knots I get. Where can I find a good one? | | Tuesday, June 27th, 2006 | 10:56 am

New Member and a Request Even though I have been watching the group, I hadn’t decided to join it for whatever reason, until today. I am working on a simple campaign and I have decided to follow the advice of Johnn Four of Roleplaying Tips and I am writing a newsletter for the campaign. Instead of just writing something almost dry, I am adding gossip, rumors and legends as well. As part of these not-quite-accurate reports, I am looking for phrases about various monsters that may or may not be accurate… You know as friends would tell each other to show off or whatever. To make an example: Let’s assume that for game purposes, Vampires are not averted by garlic, crosses and running water. However, because Thunderhill the Dwarf happened to have been eating garlic and running past running water and a cross at the time the vampire stopped chasing him (incidently, the reason would have been it was a mere hour until dawn and he had to return to his location) and ran away, Thunderhill assumes it was the Garlic or the Cross or the running water or all three that frightened the vamp away and he starts telling everyone this revealing information. Starting a rumor that eventually gets people killed because they think they are protected. I want something like that! Anyone have any ideas for Ogres, Kobolds, gnolls, and other monsters killable by a party of players at first level making about a party of CR 3 or so? Oh yeah, might also tell you. This is DND v.3.5 in case that helps any… which I don’t think it will matter. Thanks for any comments with suggestions or quotes I can use! [Go Knitting! Go Gaming! Woohoo!!!!] Current Mood:  blank | | Sunday, May 28th, 2006 | 8:07 pm

Maytilda, DOA Well, it had to happen eventually. We were hogging space on someone else's account, for Asheron's Call, and they finally have to let them go. So, I went in and did some rearranging and was a big old tourista and took pics of my char and our houses and such. heh Whoever ends up with our houses are in for a BIG surprise, not the least of which is in mine. [when you purchase a house, if the previous owner left stuff in there, it's still there for you.] AC had something that was essentially monetary notes. the highest being 250,000 [I *believe* that's what it's worth, it's MMD...heh And yes, they did use Roman numerals to number the denominations], and in my house chest there's....130 of them. Oh yes, whoever ends up with my house is *so* not going to have money problems for a bit. hehheh I should go back and get at least one pic of the hubby's char too.....heh [also posted to my journal. ^_^] Current Mood: nostalgic | | Thursday, May 18th, 2006 | 12:45 pm

What our take on it?
Alright, so...
The Wii. What's everyone's opinions on this?
I personally, am interested. Or, was highly interested and then less interested because their marketing ploy with this one seems annoying low-balled. I was very interested in a new controller. As a person with small hands, I can't even hold onto the original X-box controller and still be able to reach all the buttons. So a controller meant for everyone, that's already wireless, sounds like a great idea to me. Games, I'm "eh" about. I have a childhood connection to Nitendo, if they come out with any storyline mario game or mario parties, I'll buy those and try to find some other interesting titles. I'm a tad weird in my game tastes anyway. Marketing ploy...that's annoying. They're specifically marketing the games to women and "other non-gamers." What makes women non-gamers, in the first place? We are the fastest growing group of video game players on the market at this point. I hate it when game groups specifically say "We're trying to get women to play video games" because- drumroll please- we already do play video games. And then, the games that they are specifically making seem so stereotypically middle-school-girl-antics based that I just want to beat people over the head with a system. Think Nitendogs with more bows. I mean, come on, some times a girl just wants to shoot stuff, and blow up buildings. Wanna market games towards women? Make your female protaganists a body shape that could actually stand up in Earth's gravity.
*End Rant*
Sorry, got a bit carried away. Please, input your opinions. Inquiring mind wants to know. :) |
