[Obligatory lounge act ambles up on stage]
Left that forum with a friend of mine
Gone two months and I donāt know why
Now Iām happy all the time
I canāt think and Iām feelinā fine
Owl put me in a situation
Going through soft core mutation
Think you heard this all before
Now youāre gonna hear some more
I know a place where dreams get told
Hopes are raised if I may be so bold
Voluntary experimentation
Going through soft core mutation
Iām going elsewhere
Down elsewhere where the lights are low
To a place where all the mutants go
Posting things I never did before
Inside out and coming back for more
No one hocking any bamboo sheets,
New Bluetooth every other week
You put me in a situation
Goinā through soft core mutation

Thought I should say hi.
Iām Brett, Iām a web developer, remote worker, husband, dad and board game player from Wellington, New Zealand. Iām @glutnix everywhere, especially Twitter.
Iām currently roleplaying an immortal bipedal moose named Maple Clamphoof in the Badass Dragoons of the Highlands forum game running at the moment. I draw derpy art for these things on my phone.
I also remotely GM a weekly Pathfinder group at my workplace at lunchtimes. Weāre playing through Rise of the Runelords.

This isnāt my first arrival here, but Iāve been gone for long enough that I thought it appropriate that I post here.
To anyone who worried about me during my long absence (and especially to @Wanderfound for screwing up the Banestorm RPG in the Other Place): I apologize for leaving without any warning.
I have a bit of an obsessive personality, and Iāve found that cold turkey is about the only thing that works when I get obsessive, but thatās no excuse for not giving notice before I went cold turkey.
Itās been long enough now that I might be able to reset my usage patterns to something a bit more moderate (add opposed to resuming the old ones and trying to catch up on everything is missed in the interim.
Howās everyone been? What have I missed?

Welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about
Well the names havenāt all changed since you hung around
But those dreams have remained and theyāve turned around

Back here where we need ya
(Back here where we need ya)
Yeah we tease you a lot 'cause we got you on the spot
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back

Welcome back! Youāve been missed.
As for the game, we had a big of a segue wherein characters of the people who dropped out were left behind and some new characters joined on, we had a significant encounter that made us all question our responses to threats, and we traveled to a mysterious new city where adventure awaits. Since then, weāve kind of stalled out a bit. But the game lives! (Even if itās a bit dozy at the moment.)
How have you been? What sort of adventures have you been up to?

Just for clarification if itās needed, Iāve renamed myself with the assistance of the management. I decided it was time to start tidying up my www presence. Voyna i mor* is my nick on The Register, which is my main site for commentarding, and a few other places, so Iāve gone for the closest approximation here.
Iām not going to change things on boingboing because I think Iām likely to die out slowly there.

*Itās a kind of joke. Pushkin described the history of Russia as āVoyna i morā - war and plague. Tolstory changed this to āVoyna y mirā - war and peace. I have interests in military history, and medicine. And I learn Russian for this reason; Iām quite severely deaf and totally nonmusical, but there seems to be evidence that learning music does something to stave off dementia. I suspect that it doesnāt have to be music but learning something with a structure and a different symbol set from the usual numbers and letters. Russian fulfils that. I would have preferred Hebrew, but there was no local teacher available.
