The "Christopher and Adam" that Anthony sings at 9:34-36 in the GenCon episode is the sexiest sound I have heard in my life. Go listen to it. (like I have over 20 times now)

Christopher's bro's accent is super easy on the ears in general.

I’m not hating, but I thought I’d try my hand at some of the memes I am supposed to be good at making. Apparently.

The best part about its punchline is, like most everyone else, it completely ignores Prime War.

I was thinking about putting that, but these seemed like the more showcased options so far.

Again, not hating, just waiting, but found this on an AMA while poring thru year-old stuff:

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgg!

I spent hours editing (to show questions only) an "Adam draws, Christopher answers" livestream I found we did not have up here. Then I accidentally deleted a folder on my USB rather than just the file I thought I was on.

 

So eff it. I'm not going back and redoing all that work, everyone will just have to suffer through the chat jokes to piece together where Christopher's answers are in relation to the questions.And yes, I would have released the unedited version alongside the edited version.

Not sure if this is relevant to this thread (because relevant things are absolute nonsense) but I’m going to fully admit I got bored and sent in one of my Letters Page letters as Gloomweaver. So, yeah. I think I might have been to harsh on the cult of gloom.

Hello everyone! I didn't feel this worth making a thread for, but thought some people may have been curious why there has been a significant lack of Ronway the last couple of years.

The primary reason being my 8 year relationship came to an end 2 years ago. While it was certainly for the best, it did hit me fairly hard, largely because I met her at the tail end of High School so my entire adult life was with her. So it was a huge shift as to who the adult me is, which is still an ongoing search honestly. While the initial disappearance was because my life was coming apart I did eventually work my way out of it.

Now the reason I don't come on nearly as much I did is because I do a lot of things outside of just being on the computer. Now i'm not shaming anyone that does that, heck there are days I miss sitting at the computer for hours, playing SotM on Google+ or conversing with those on the forums. Last year I took my son, sister, and mother out to Saint Louis. I've actually started college last week. I joined another game group in person that meets up every other week. 

I'm probably happier now than I have been in quite some time. And if any of you are going through some rough times I hope you'll be able to work through them and become stronger because of it.

Thank you to everyone that has been a part of my life.

-Ronway

If every game of Sentinels of the Multiverse is canon, what does that mean for games that I pack up half way through because I run out of time? Did OblivAeon arrive mid fight?

I just had to look up the reference. I guess I'm too young to have grown up reading Lewis Carroll.

Bwa ha haaaa! My aging ray test was successful! :)

Happy golden anniversary of the first time humans set foot on another world, everybody! You can listen in to all of the mission voice recordings and see all the videos played back on an exactly 50 year time delay at this web site: https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/. I've been listening in the background every chance I got at work this week. I think Mike Collins is my favorite!

As of the time of this post, they have just separated Eagle and Columbia so that Eagle can go down to the surface. The landing will be an about an hour and 45 minutes.

Well, let's be honest: The forums aren't even close to as active as they once were. ;-) (Although newer folks wouldn't know that, so no offense intended. :-D )

It really is nice to see you back, Ronway! :-) 

Arenson9, my spouse, and I had a game of SotM today against Baron Blade in Mordengrad. Idealist and Lifeline just didn't get the cards they needed, and Harpy did what she could, but Blade and his forces truly got the jump on us. It was an impressively harsh 6 rounds, but these things happen. :-) 

After Arenson9 left, Idealist and Lifeline came back with Tachyon and Dr. Medico for a rematch. Not only did the heroes get better cards, but they caught Mordengrad off-guard, easily ending the fight in less than 4 rounds with everyone in the high teens at the end. It's amazing how much of a difference 4 heroes, better hero draws, and worse villain/environment draws will make. ;-)  

Anyone else have any games over the holiday weekend? Any other fun activities?

Thank you, butI haven't really ever left. I'd be surprised if it ever reads "Last seen: 1 week ago" beneath my name. My phone usually has the tab for the forums open. My posting is less frequent, largely due to how inactive the forums are these days. Boy do I sometimes miss the good old days around here.

 

No SotM games for me, I largely play solo as my usual gaming group isn't as big of a fan as I am. So it has become easier for me just to play on the app for 15 minutes for a game versus an hour with people. 

I did pay Sub-terra and The Resistance the day before Christmas. On Sub-terra, 2 of the 6 people made it out alive. Fortunately I was one of them. 2 of the others were a bit far from everyone else so they weren't able to make it to the found exit in time. Another got blocked by an unlucky horror, with another trying to make it back to save them.
