A bit of Morrowind fanfic. My game story, in narrative mode. I'll be glossing over large bits of gameplay, I expect. Nor will I hide spoilers it's a seven-year old game, and even if this is my first play-through, this is not the place for spoiler averse.Sure I was a prisoner. It wasn't the first time, and probably won't be the last. My memory's a little hazy. Between the alcohol and the vivid

Bored with WoW, and am on a leave of absence for a bit. Not sure if it's just I'd been playing for two years, or if the guild I ended up in was a bad fit for me, or what. Nothing against the guild, just a raiding guild didn't really fit the play time I had available. I could have done some searching for a better fit, but I wasn't being excited by the game, either.So, I've moved on to other

This past weekend, the guild worked together and got several people their keys for Karazhan, including me! We've also been recruiting, and have nearly enough folks to pull together a single team to start exploring the instance.We are short on tanks, so it looks like I'll get to off-tank. While I'm already uncrittable, my armor is a bit low at 19K, and my unbuffed health is in the 12K range. With

I went ahead and swapped out the +6 defense gem for a +6 agility gem (I had extra defense in bear form), and gemmed up the Scout's Hood with three +6 agility gems and the Glyph of Ferocity. So I'm looking a bit better in cat-form. And the agility will help in bear form as well.So my +hit is now 56 Hit Rating, up from the 38 I posted earlier. I didn't log out in cat form, so no screenshot. Hit cap

While my druid is my main character for WoW, I have a number of alts as well. I'm trying to decide which to level up next. I will probably end up rotating through a few of the many characters, though.One of those will be my Blood Elf priest (currently level 21), as I'd like to get a heal-specced character into the end-game. Right now, he is Disc/Holy -- I took my first five talent points in wand

I suppose one of the points of a blog is keeping it up-to-date, isn't it?Pardon the interruption -- I am finally back to my more usual schedule.

Green gems just weren't enough to make me crit-immune. So I dropped 300g on the AH to get some thick dawnstone and some enduring talasite. And NOW I am crit-immune.Also, it has really sunk in what the difference is between defense, the stat showing on your character sheet, and defense rating, provided by gems. I spent quite a bit of time switching between my banker and my character before I

Some more about the current gear, and where/how I got it.ChestHeavy Clefthoof Vest. Found this one on the auction house, and equipped as soon as I hit 70. Upgrades - Vestments of Hibernation (75 badges). Would need to find more defense elsewhere, of course.WristsBracers of Finesse. These drop in Hellfire Ramparts. I just haven't got around to replacing them yet. I'm currently working on the chain

Mosshoof is my main character on the Baelgun server. Mosshoof only recently hit 70, and is still concentrating on improving her gear.I am in an itty-bitty guild composed of some gaming friends of mine. Our guild goals at the moment are to see all of the Outlands 5-man instances, run some heroics, have fun on the battlegrounds from time to time, and maybe even get a peek into Karazhan before the

I'm a former computer programmer (and current stay-at-home Mom) who's had a fondness for computer games since back when Ultima III was released on the Atari 800.I have a special fondness for fantasy RPG type games and strategy games, with no special claim to being very good at either. This is my place to write about all the electronic paper dolls I love to play with.My current obsession (and yes,
