    Got some actual writing done! Only like a hundred words or so, but it's the most I've done in weeks. I sense a tide turning!

    HUZZAAAAAAAAAAAAH! HUUUUZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! HUUUUZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! *proceeds to freak out*
    Xantalos
    Got the doggang sidestory threadmarks fixed so they actually show the proper order they were posted in (mostly)
    Xantalos
    *rolls online dice* ...huh. Okay then, guess that's gonna be a thing.

    Hopefully it's like a Screaming Bell. Whatever happens, it's still awesome.

    I mean, I hope it's *good* too, but frankly I'm too bored and excited to be...too picky.
    Xantalos
    3000 words breached! Getting into the swing of it now.

    Your hard work is extremely appreciated. Easily second best Christmas present possible.

    With the first best presumably being the actual update, I presume :p No promises on the timeframe, but I'm getting into the fun portion of it, so it shouldn't be too much longer.
    EVA-Saiyajin
    EVA-Saiyajin
    You're getting me quite excited.

    ??? What game? Skyrim?

    Dragon Age Origins - took a while for me to figure out what was wonky, but I did.

    Had a stupid question. In your opinion, how come Kroq-Gar only has a Weapon Skill of 6 on the tabletop despite his lore of thousands of years of combat and being a biological weapon that gets stronger and tougher as they age. Is it a balance thing, you think? Or did GW just forget the lore and never bother to correct themselves.
    EVA-Saiyajin
    EVA-Saiyajin
    If you don't mind me replying? It's definitely for balance.
    Xantalos
    Xantalos
    Whoops, forgot to reply to this! Almost certainly balance reasons, I'd agree. Tabletop lizardmen have enough advantages without throwing ridiculously high weapon skill on all of their veterans, regardless of whether it's lore accurate or not.
    EVA-Saiyajin
    EVA-Saiyajin
    What's funny is despite all the balance acts, they're still apparently one of the stronger factions in TT.
    Xantalos
    First legit complex modding experience done! Now for the nostalgia, time to play some Dragon Age Origins!
    EVA-Saiyajin
    I just can't help myself: have you played or seen any playthroughs of God of War (the latest one, called God of War 4 by some)?

    It may be the fact that I haven't eaten in a while, but I don't actually know what you're referring to.

    Unless you mean the god talks in Respect Elders?
    EVA-Saiyajin
    EVA-Saiyajin
    Nooope.

    I mean a giant fucking god snake (Jormungandr) helping the little fighters fight a massive monster with a brutally effective action.
    Xantalos
    Xantalos
    Ah, I see what you mean. I should rewatch that boss fight, might give me some ideas.

    Should honestly just watch a playthrough of the game, it seems like a pretty damn good one and the way they actually developed Kratos' character is something that really interests me.
    Xantalos
    Getting close! Still a bunch of words to go through but I'm definitely in the home stretch,

    99% complete. Need to render the numbers and have it proofread, but my estimate's confirmed - it should be out before Remembrance Da...

    Damn, Nix was spot on with his guess at how long I'd take.
    EVA-Saiyajin
    EVA-Saiyajin
    Excellent. I must be reminded why lizard men are better than vampirates.
    EVA-Saiyajin
    EVA-Saiyajin
    No matter how awesome their guns are!
    Xantalos
    The mind fog section alone comprises over a fifth of the update, and I'm not even done it yet. Should be interesting to see thoughts on it.
    EVA-Saiyajin
    EVA-Saiyajin
    No doubt it will be interesting to read. Do you mean "I'VE not even done it yet" or "I'm not even done WITH it yet"?
    Xantalos
    Xantalos
    The update's somewhere around 5k words, and this one section's up to 1300 so far. I reckon I'm about 2/3 finished.

    So yeah, not done with it yet.
    Xantalos
    Xantalos
    Done! Judging by the current length and how much I have left to go, this update will probably crest 10k words.
    Xantalos
    Hmm. Mochantian? Mochantic?
    EVA-Saiyajin
    EVA-Saiyajin
    Probably Mochantian. I have no idea what the topic is, but "mochantian" actually appears as a word in Native American Mexican...stuff, I guess. No idea what it means, but it's actually a word compared to "mochantic"
    EVA-Saiyajin
    EVA-Saiyajin
    Oh now I see. A possessive form of Mochantia, our planet.
    EVA-Saiyajin
    If your goal was to learn from Red Flag's duels, I'd say you've done it. Concise yet detailed, funny but serious, tense yet awesome.
    Xantalos
    Xantalos
    Heh, thanks - though I actually haven't focused so much on emulating Red Flag's style specifically, more just on streamlining my writing style as a whole.
    Xantalos
    Ffnnnfngf Kill Six Billion Demons is so fucking cool

    Oh rest assured I'm taking heavy inspiration for both you guys and the NPCs from it - it's just such a cool setting and mythos and art style!
    EVA-Saiyajin
    EVA-Saiyajin
    Cool. Just try not to be too much like Ganonso wherein the Warhammer setting has the aspects of others practically fused.
    Xantalos
    Xantalos
    Heh, nah - inspiration in form and execution only, the setting itself remains the same. Wouldn't really work with my pre-existing plans otherwise.
    Xantalos
    Damn you, fever-causing illness! Away with ye, I've no time for your shenanigans.
    EVA-Saiyajin
    EVA-Saiyajin
    I'm sorry mate. I hope you feel better soon.
    Nix's Warden
    Did your final go well?
    Xantalos
    Xantalos
    I reckon I did decently. I'm just relieved it's over, since that's one foray into accounting that I can safely say I won't try again. Not even sure why I did in the first place, to be honest.

    Thanks for the inquiry!
    Xantalos
    Yup, this turn's gonna be longer than the last one.
    EVA-Saiyajin
    EVA-Saiyajin
    Rather surprising I admit, given much fewer things are being done. Should be exciting.
    EVA-Saiyajin
    EVA-Saiyajin
    Please give my regards and thanks to your editor/beta for helping with such a fun quest, if you don't mind.
    Xantalos
    Xantalos
    Will do!
    Xantalos
    2.8k in, and not half done. Sure am glad I'm not subject to a word limit.
    Xantalos
    Xantalos
    ...4.2k in now. Still got a fair bit to go.

    Suppose some habits can't be broken.

    You're awesome man. A belated happy Independence Day, or Colonial Day, or Indivisible Day, or Invisible Day, or Independence from Meat Day, or National Barbecue Day, or whatever the Fourth of July is to you depending on country, continent, sex, religion, or diet.

    I made banana bread, though I forgot it was a holiday. So that made it a good day in my book.

    Is from a dead world dead?

    Xantalos
    No, just in a deep sleep - I actually have the next update for it in a nearly-complete state, I'm just taking my time with completing it because I want it to be good.
