Appreciations of the day

[Dracos]

Frizbee of ultimate is reasonably okay exercise.  And somewhat fun.  Wussy body even agrees.

[Rukatin]

Been going through the other pages on this site than I usually go to. Remember that Numenera campaign I tried to start? Good times...
Of course, That was during summer school when I was just looking for a way to procrastinate.

[Dracos]

Procrastinate harder.  Yeah.  It's been a lot of games over the years, with many of them being like that, short/almost dead starts, balanced by really long running ones.

[Yuthirin]

Bug someone to join a game? >_>

[Anastasia]

Pretty much. The ones that run short are common, but the ones that don't tend to be long runners. It's sort of like a new TV show - it either implodes before start, goes a bit and fizzles or becomes a long runner.

[Yuthirin]

Balmuria's six years old this year! It's on its fifth season. Or incarnation. Or spin-off. Depends on who you ask.

[Merc]

It's on Season 3 of the 3rd series. Or season 6, if you don't consider the 3rd series spin-off to be a separate entity.

Balmuria TOS ran for 3 seasons.

Balmuria 2: Urban Adventures ran for just 1 season. Negative ratings and a cast change midway through killed it, as the director tried to change genres.

Balmuria 3: Planar Suikoden is ongoing, after some speed bumps, and is on its third season. The first two seasons did alright, but a casting dispute with one of the actors seeking to escape getting typecasted into their most famous role killed it. However, it did well enough to create a spin-off series that went on to last three seasons before returning actors and fan outcry resulted in the original series returning, and getting two new cast members to join in!

(Also, I guess that makes Iddy the Cordelia to Yuth's Angel)

Balmuria 4 and 5 were both experiments and both didn't make it past 1 season.

So I guess you could say there have been 5 series, with a combined 10 seasons.

What is Balmuria anyway?

Okay, what's it about? What did you mean by 'cast changes'?

Ahahahahhahaha.

By the way, B4 will be reused at some point. I'll have a hankering to run a grinding death dungeon sooner or later. B5's still going with weekly sessions.

Players leaving and joining. He's being awfully glib about it.

'Awfully'? Nooooo waaaaaay... >_>

[Iron Dragoon]

What the hell is a Cordelia?

[Merc]

What the hell is a Cordelia?

Reference to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series and the spin-off series Angel. Cordelia was one of the side characters in Buffy, became a main character in Angel, got corrupted by evil while Angel got tossed into a coffin.

Lief was a side character in the main game that became a main character when you joined the CODA and then became an evil possessed zombie while Muirfinn got turned into a lawn ornament.
