It's actually pretty hard to find decent pictures of the little guy. I used to have a few avatar-ready, but I'm not sure what happened to them.


And now, it's four in the morning and though the tiredness does make stream-of-consciousness writing slightly easier I think I should probably get some sleep.

Sounds like Bel has an Aspect going on. :D Anyway, extremely good post!

Interesting attitude, Dorian. It is quite accurate, of course. None of the Pantheon actually created anything here. Zephyr is now merely looking after the forests. However, as far as I've been able to figure it, what makes a being - or concept - a "god" is simply that it is worshiped. Which means all in the Pantheon are deities. I'm very interested to see how it will all resolve with The Void's worshipers.

I also enjoyed the posts, Dorian and Murrin. It does indeed raise the bar.

Alright. I have been thinking about giving a little more depth and background to my race.

I told Montressor, I think it was, that I would be a good textbook writer because my creative writing is a little on the weak side. He encouraged me to give it a go.

Therefore, I decided to try to mix the two.

I added an entry of a Nhruuk textbook.

Nice one mate, I like things written as if taken from a book. Suggests there is more going on then the main story line of the god and the prophet, and that its actually an organized religion.

Aye, you did too - congrats! I enjoyed it. Nice to see another one in a different style, I'd like to see more textbook style stuff perhaps.

But I also said you had to slap yourself if you sold your own writing short, so for saying:

you have to now slap yourself. ;)

And that goes for you too, Menolly!

*wicked grin*

...I am a stubborn one, aye-yep, yep, yep...

But I will credit you and Montressor for dragging me kicking and screaming into Borderlands. cho is too similar to my own outlook for my own good at times. Being put into the heads of a totally different mind set is an interesting learning experience. It's also a real struggle, but I am slowly learning to appreciate it.

No one is posting today.

Ah well. I suppose I will just have to write more textbook entries.

Yes, that is the problem. I might have to wait until we get some results before I can proceed further.


Then again, I might not have to wait because I just had another idea....

I'm waiting for the new turn myself - although there is one possibility for another preliminary post, though I have to hear from Xar first to see if it's permissable.

Yay!

May you find as much joy in it as I did for a short time after writing my Creation story and a few entries afterwards. :)

But, I will try to keep it short. Heh.

I can appreciate now how it is fun to develop the game more with these little stories to make it richer.
