Day two of my return to college.

So I've survived the first day of my return to school dispite being assaulted by the scent of Axe Body spray and 'herbal insence', but was Monday and not why we come here!

Tonight I should be around after 7:30, depending on traffic, probably start the stream around 8 pm EST.

Goals for the night: complete one, or more of the following list.

• Random ‘Free Raise’
• Adjust the starting characteristic profile based on the racial skills/talents
• Based on the advancement scheme randomly choose one of the advancements to take.

Taking the day off of streaming Python

Hello all,

I will be taking the day off of streaming today, I've been dealing with a lot of stress regarding school and work and need to take a night to relax.

Have a good night, and I'll be back soon(I'll make this night up some other day this week)!

Let post ahead of schedule for once.

I am posting this BEFORE stream today, that's good.

Please excuse any typos: I'm writing this on my tablet on my lunch break.

Goals for tonight:  One of the folks I share a group with on facebook recently mentioned unpacking lists.  I think I would like to try unpacking the skills, talents, trappings, Skill Advances and Talent Advances in the way that he mentioned, hopefully I can get it displaying as skill1, skill2, skill3 as opposed to the way it is currently being displayed.

I still need to get everything loaded into classes and design some methods to Award experience, and spend the awarded experience, but that should be done after creating the classes.

I am definitely interested to see where the program is going to go from here, I set out a plan but it seems to just keep growing in my mind into other things.

As far as the stream goes: I've mentioned before that I am now and affiliate which means Bits, and a sub button.  It also means that I can get an emoticon (if i remember correctly) and I may see about getting something designed by a friend of mine.  I start classes next Monday, and my class schedule is Monday till 6:45pm est, Wednesday till 6:45pm est, and Thrusday till 9:55pm est, all with a 30-45 min drive from the campus home.  So Wednesday streams will either end up being later (8pm) or I may move them to Tuesdays.

I would also like to start streaming some games, but I'm not sure what to stream everyone says "stream what you like", or f"stream {current_top_rated_game}"; neither of which is truly helpful.  Stream what I like: I play alot of Ark with friends, I thought about streaming some of the old games that I loved (Everquest, Istaria: Chronicles of the Gifted, or even the SWGEMU gameplay) but I'm not sure those games would draw a lot of interest.  I'm not really big into competitive games, I loathe the communities for most popular MOBA's and I'm not really a big fan of battle royale  style games.

Maybe I'll just stream whatever I'm playing when I'm playing it and see what happens.  I'm not trying to get partnered with Twitch, but if it happens, it happens!

Ok, I haven't updated since earlier in the month.  I have good news and bad news.

Definitely making progress on the character creator, and while I have realized that I bought a bunch of WFRP books on Humble Bundle, I'll be sticking with the core book for now.

So on to the good and bad news.  Good news: I got affiliate status on twitch, so I now have a sub button and can receive bits!

Bad news:  I've registered for fall classes and this has caused a minor disruption in the stream schedule.  My Wednesday class runs until 6:45pm EST, so I wont be streaming till after 7.  Going to start looking at starting the stream between 8 and 8:30pm EST.

Thank you all for the views and your encouragement!

Had a pretty productive stream Wednesday.
