Rokk Talk – Characters Playing Characters

Tabletop RPG’s have been around since forever. And since the dawn of forever, it seems like a certain type of person tends to gravitate toward these games. Much like people look at a World of Warcraft player and immediately assume they don’t leave their parents’ basement and and are devoid of functional social skills, there are preconceived notions about RPG players as well.

And like in the first example, stereotypes exist for a reason.

Fun Fact #1 – I’ve played RPG’s over thirty years. From back then until very recently, I think I’ve played with every stereotype in this video.

Fun Fact #2 – The Roleplayer is wearing a Horde t-shirt.

Checking My To Do List

Oct 31

Posted by Donny Rokk

Things to Do.

Halloween. Trick or Treat. I don’t care about any of that, because right now the Trick is getting ready for Blizzcon. The Treat is making sure everything actually gets done.

Gather gold from my World of Warcraft Order Halls – DONE. It was a good haul with 120k gold Horde-side, and 62k for the Alliance.
Check documents – DONE. Passport is legit, and I’ve printed out my Blizzcon ticket bar code, airline info, and accommodations information.
Check flight – DONE. The itinerary changed, but that was for the return flight. I’ll get home around 1am Monday morning, and have to make an appearance at work that day. I plan on doing plenty of airport sleeping.
Confirm room – DONE. I checked my AirBnB on Google Map, and couldn’t find anywhere nearby to buy food. Looks like a weekend of carbs and protein bars.
Transport – DONE. I checked to see if it would be cheaper to Uber or Shuttle from the airport to the AirBnB. Looks like there’s only a couple bucks difference. I may walk from the house to the Convention Center. It’s only 2 miles. That’s a recreational stroll in Rokkville. Maybe not at night, but definitely a nice brisk stroll to stand in line Friday.
Pack – ~~DONE~~. I’m seeing cloudy and drizzle for Blizzcon so I may only chop the sleeves off of a couple of my t-shirts. But I’ll pick things out closer to the day. Which I guess would be… tomorrow? Jeez.
