Sorry, Ben. Hope you're enjoying your day off though.

so when are votes due by?

So, I kept seeing this message. Kind of drew me here.

Yes, indeed.

Nice to see everyone.

Popping back in.

B

I am decently pleased with my character.

Does that mean something?

Here I am.

P

That is what I've heard. At least that one is only 7 years away.

Hopefully all is well with everyone who was in line of the total eclipse. Only got about 90% here.

Glad that you are able to be more active. I have found DM to be a very welcoming place, and am so glad that I came when I did.

I have enough drama in my own life, so sure don't need on-line drama. And so far DM seems to be fun, and everyone very welcoming.

Glad you decided to be a part of the Black Tower. They have really good brownies in here...

Eagle Eye

That's another good point. There is much to be said for the idea behind, what would I have done. Along with that, there is, how would my life have been different if I had lived then. Lacking modern medicines and such, it is unlikely I would have survived early childhood. If I had, I would have been completely blind in one eye and been sickly into my adult life. There are certainly perks to the modern age. But I still like the Middle Ages.

And since we are discussing this period, and there is an approaching eclipse, I have to mention Ladyhawke. I know it's a movie rather than literature, but it fits the discussion. There are historical elements, lords and castles, the role of the church, superstitions. There is legend, the curse. There is adventure, romance, and drama. I gained my fascination of the crossbow, from that movie. I think it is a good example of the elements we have been discussing.

You and your family remain in my prayers. (Big hugs)

If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.

Indeed, empires try to grab up all the bits.

Welcome to DM.

I've read the first three books, but am currently on Book Four and am determined to read the whole series. It is a wonderful series, and thankfully our draw to the series has brought us to DM.

There is a lot to explore. Feel free to ask questions. Folks are friendly and helpful around here.
