Random Ramblings

Could it be? Could we finally be finished? Yes! The Voice of Doom is officially over! The Witch King is dead! The Plague God is dead! Gun'Mora has apotheosed into the god of wisdom and secrets! Azlo has taken the vengeance portfolio! Lyanna's temple has been destroyed again!

...Oh, well. Can't win 'em all.

We are now two (count'em, two) sessions past Andrew the GM's original estimate of game end, and we've still got at least two battles to go. Yes, my friends, we did not actually get to the (theoretically) penultimate battle with the Dol Mosh, though all the pieces are in place... we hope. Instead, we wound up scheming, plotting, negotiating, and otherwise *not* fighting. Better get on to those quotes...

( Oct. 11, 2011 )

So... next week we get to the fight with the Dol Mosh for sure. Many one of these years we can get to our final, ultimate goal of destroying the Plague God. That would be nice too. Until next week!

That's right! The voice of doom is back! Last night, we set up for the third-to-last battle of the game!

..."Third to last, Julie? Weren't you supposed to have already done the final epic ultimate battle?" Well, yes. But this is the Voice of Doom. You didn't really *believe* Andrew the GM when he said the final, ultimate battle was *actually* the final battle, did you?

(If you go back to Andrew the GM's original accounting, last night's session was supposed to have been the final session. As of next week, we're officially into the T-minus negative numbers.)

And that's it for this week! Next week, I will likely be Skyping into the game from Toronto so I can continue to record all the hilarity as we attack the King of the Moon and crush his forces. Hopefully. Join us then!

Last night saw the Epic Battle of Epicness (tm). Since regular mass battle is clearly not epic enough, Andrew the GM converted all our characters and their followers into Warhammer miniatures and we did the final gigantic battle as a Warhammer game. Well, almost the final battle. The game's not over yet. But we're getting close! So close! (Yeah, where have I heard that before...)

So the Shelezarian forces have destroyed Kyo's army to the south of Shelezar, Azure Deathgod has scattered the remnants of the forces of evil to the north of the city, and things have settled down again so that we can finish building the weapon of ultimate power to take out the Plague God. Well, in theory settled down. "Settled" is such a strong word. In fact, we've got yet more battles to do, boys and girls. Join us Monday when we find out what happens next!

Well, the world did not end. This is both good, in the sense that the world was not tragically destroyed in some plague-god-related catastrophe, but also bad, in the sense that we did not get through all the plot that Andrew the GM promised us we would. (You're shocked, I know.) What *did* wind up happening was an elaborate plot to trap the Dol Mosh... which wound up not working. Ah, well. Easy come, easy go. Current time to game-end theoretically stands at T minus 4 sessions.

And that's it for this week. Next week, we watch the grand battle between Malik, the Dark Seraph, the Dol Mosh, and the angels! Well... maybe. If we get to it. It's been high on our priority list for at least four sessions. But next time for real! We hope! Join us then!

Last night's session featured the cutest little deathbringer in the multiverse, a two-faced god, and a bunch of very enthusiastic macho men shouting, "Oooh, yeah!" With this sort of diversity, it can only be... the Voice of Doom!

( June 13, 2011 )

And that's it for this week! Next week, Lyanna attempts to take on the entire Dark Seraph's army, all by herself! It'll be epic! Come back then to see what crazy things will happen next time in the Voice of Doom!

What is this mythical beast that approaches? Could it be... downtime? Shh! Don't say it too loud! You might scare it away!

Yes, my friends, we got through a week and a half of semi-downtime in yesterday's Voice of Doom session. No combat, lots of politicking. Let's get to it!

( May 30, 2011 )

Thus ends this week's quotes. Join us next week, where we see if we can keep the streak going and make it through another two weeks next time. Survey says: probably not, but we can always hope.

Remember when I said last time that we'd finally left the fortress of the Lich Queen? Well, that was true, but we had some unfinished business to attend to. Like destroying her phylactery. Which we did last night, with an overwhelmingly large boom. Because if there's one thing we've learned in Voice of Doom Land, it's that there's no such thing as too much firepower.

( May 16, 2011 )

So that's it for this week. Next week, we theoretically start two months of downtime. I'll believe it when I see it.

We did it, my friends! After the copious application of high-level spells, we managed to turn the Lich Queen into a fig tree... and then immolated it! Except, this being the Voice of Doom, we're not free and clear yet. No, now we've got to deal with a rampaging Azlo, whose artifact-level armor has convinced him that Neyrr and the rest of the PCs are his mortal enemies. To stop him, we must drop the Black Heart into an active volcano (what are we, Lord of the Rings?) and destroy the Lich Queen's phylactery. Onwards!

( April 11, 2011 )

And that's it for this week. Join us next time when we see if we can restore Azlo's sanity before he destroys the entire party.

In this week's session, we managed to open a door and get through one round of combat. But it was more epic than it sounds. Really. I don't know how it can be any less epic than it sounds.

( March 28, 2011 )

And that's it for this week. Next week, if we're lucky, we'll actually finish the damned combat so we can get back to our regularly scheduled plot.
