The Damsels are three lady gamers who talk about things that are important to them in the world of Dungeons and Dragons Online. Ravenloft just keeps getting weirder. If people aren’t turning into birds or throwing awkward tea parties, they are keeping the pride and carelessness of wayward adventurers in amber. Seriously, we fought our own flaws in this quest! The best thing that happened this week was when the Damsels saved an entire winery! I mean, where would Barovia be if they couldn’t wash down Soylent Green Pot Pie with wine instead of boring old water? Thanks so much for listening!

Housekeeping!

• I’m in my last two weeks of school. My schedule will get better but quite a bit more chaotic because my job isn’t exactly stable. This next show should be ok but I can’t promise anything. Not until after May 12th.
• Mythery – I learned that soon we won’t be getting a birthday present at all. Seriously, we used to get a choice of something really nice and useful for each and every character we owned. Then two or three years ago we got something nice but for only one of our people. This year we got a cosmetic item. Granted, each of our guys got one but come on… I don’t mean to be rude to whoever designed these but don’t go into fashion design. Blech! How about a choice. Or how about making it awesome looking. I know you know how to do it because the cosmetics for sale in the store vary in price and the nice looking stuff is the most expensive. My point is that you know if it looks good and this “present” would not sell in the store. Honestly though, I don’t understand at all why we have gone from getting something useful for each character to this. It isn’t like DDO is putting money in my bank account by doing this. Or a better point, they aren’t taking it out of theirs. If I am the type to spend my money in the store, a gift is not going to stop me from spending and if I am not, getting a taste of something I could purchase might actually get me to buy something. And even if it didn’t it would change nothing as far as what DDO is putting in their pockets. They wouldn’t be losing anything and would be making people happy. So I don’t get it! And yes I know complaining about a present isn’t cool and isn’t really something I have ever done but THEY started it not me and I happen to have a strong opinion about it.
