Day, the second.

Thinking about some stuff. Noticing a tendency on B&S that I don't like very much. Mainly, the fact that it's becoming difficult to go out and solicit RP in public, sometimes. Part of it is IC issues, with the /character's/ ability to go out to large, public places being somewhat impaired, but a lot of it is just that the one or two people who I'm finding it...difficult to have enjoyable RP with seem to be ever-present. It's gotten better, however, with a couple of new arrivals. Especially since the new people tend to be on in the afternoon, when I'm feeling perky, and they're Pretty Darn Neat.

I feel guilty, though, for hanging out in private during the evenings, or just logging off altogether. Especially when I know there are things that my character should be doing with other PCs, but I'm just finding it difficult to muster the enthusiasm.

On the bright side, this means that I can do other things in the evening. Like playing Fallout (bah, supermutants! BAH, laser gatling gun!) through for the first time, and Syberia (which has given me a kickass idea for a CoC game, or possibly a IN adventure with a mad Enchanter), and I finally watched 'Voices From a Distant Star'. 'Voices' is anime, and does involve giant robots and alien invaders, but it's completely secondary to the real story. It's a slow, gentle movie, with a sniffle factor. It feels like an animated short story more than anything else, with a /lot/ of narration. If you don't read quickly, you might want to go for the dub, if you rent the DVD. I recommend it.

As far as actual life stuff...not much happening. I'm just sort of drifting through the days, being pushed around by whatever happens to come along, not making much of an impression on anyone or anything. Sigh. It's not exactly a heartening position to find myself in.

If you're REALLY bored, I can offer you contract work to do some... Research.

Something in that ellipse is ominous, but sure. :) If you've got something for me to do, then I'm all for it, really.

Take your keen Roleplayer and GM's eye and turn it on Queen Elizabeth's court. Give me an idea of the power structures, the character hooks, the possibilities for weirdness. Obviously, there's John Dee, but what about the Dudley boys? Or the Earl of Tyrone? How about the Queen's ladies-in-waiting?

If you can put together an idea of stuff, and a short briefing -- whatever you'd like, really -- I'd be grateful.

Please permit me to introduce you to xiphias and his wife cheshyre. He GMed a rather delightful Elizabethan-with-magic campaign that I played in, and his wife is a librarian with a fondness for Kit Marlowe. They haven't posted much on the topic to LJ in a while, but they're both excellent sources and can quite probably point you at nifty stuff.

(One caveat: chesyre's LJ account is /not/ her primary blog, which is Riba Rambles, but that site has had serious connectivity problems in the past.)
