Unbelieveable

Hello there everyone, Vrill here again. Yup, still in the afterlife. Maybe I should get around to changing the name of this 'web blog', but I don't want to confuse those of you (especially if you're just incidental readers) who have this web site 'bookmarked'... imagine selecting your Potion Guild bookmark from your 'Favorites' menu, only to go to a blog called, e.g., Hello Airport. That would just be a bit disorienting. So Potion Guild it shall remain, despite the recent upheavals, shall we say, up in the heavens.

I'm referring, of course, to that notorious website of disinformation, Descent into Depths, or DiD as they themselves call it. I've used the Insert Link feature here so you can go directly there after you finish reading my post, or alternatively feel free to use the link on the sidebar. That's what it's there for. Anyway, kudos, I suppose, to Apprentice Steve. He beat the PCs at their own game! I guess when the Black Knight cackles and says 'Not too much more and then the sceptre is mine', maybe it's not exactly the right time for a nap. Well, Steve APG wasn't sleeping, and apparently he defeated all the undead and saved the temple, and possibly Grito as well. Well done, my apprentice. This is probably how Mozart's father felt after listening to his son's first public recital. Or for those of you under the age of 30, I feel sort of like Obi-Wan Kenobi felt when Luke blew up the Death Star. That's probably a good analogy, because, like old Ben Kenobi, I too am dead, but my voice lives on here in the 'blogosphere'. I almost wrote the word 'cyberspace', but no one talks about cyberspace anymore, do they? Interesting.

Of course, I'm not sure exactly how Steve did it, given that he's only like 3rd level, but then again I have no idea how BCDMM killed me when I was much higher level, better prepared, with actual strategies and defenses. Oh no, wait. I'm sorry, readers. I do know how they killed me. Their DM sucks and they cheated. Riiiight. Well, maybe the DM finally came to his senses and decided to do something- however small and tangential- to repair his earlier crappy judgement.

Long time readers- or those of you who have been with me since my arrival in "Hello Airport"- know that iTunes posts celebrity playlists so you can hear what famous people claim to listen to. This week they've got Kiefer Sutherland's playlist. "One" by U2 is the second song on the list, surprise surprise. Someone owes me five bucks, as I totally called that one. Kiefer just looks like he would love to 'rap' with Bono backstage, you know, about famine and stuff that celebrities can fix like that. There's an XTC song on there too, "Dear God", which is a bit better, but is that the best you can do for XTC, Kiefer? It's sort of a cliche. I mean, if you don't believe in god, how can you explain the fact that I'm 'blogging' from the underworld? There's some other interesting celebrity picks there. 'Blondie', nee Deborah Harry, has an Eminem track, that song about his alter-ego Rabbit. A rapper with a rapper alter-ego. I bet BCDMM love that song.

Anyway, the DiD adventures didn't really go the way I expected, but I guess that's par for their bloody little course, non? Well, my iPod has finished downloading this week's new tracks and my 30 minutes is almost up. Again, my readers, gentlemen of the jury, email me with news or comments at mastervrill713@yahoo.com, or leave comments here in my web blog.

'Til next time, Master V.
