A New Deck Arrived

All the way from Moscow, no less!  I actually had a total of four decks arrive today – like I said in my last post, I’m a hopeless collector!  But the really cool deck was the one from Russia!  It’s called the Kabbalistic Tarot, and I’ve seen images of it before, and just had to have it.  It’s very complex, and has many symbols and words in the margins.  I just may have to learn Russian/Cyrillic: Again, the poker sized joker and a quarter have been included to show the … Continue reading

Collecting…

I’m a collector.  My parents were collectors too, so I blame them 🙂  Both my Mom and Dad collected various things; Stamps (both), Coins (Dad), Rocks (Dad), Bird Figurines (Mom), and a whole bunch of other stuff – on the edge of “hoarder” magnitude, but far enough from the edge to be considered sane – hehe. Me? I’m also a mass collector – I have many diverse collections; Kachinas, Tarot Cards, Books, Space Ship Models, etc.  Again, just this side of sanity 🙂   Currently, my book collection is by far … Continue reading

SWTOR Crafting

I’m posting this because whenever I try to look this up I keep getting a very colorful, yet nearly useless image trying to show what crafts require which skill.  There is a nice, simple table format for it out there somewhere that I’ve only found once, but I have since never been able find it, so I’m making my own. Unfortunately, WP doesn’t have a simple way to insert a table, so I’m going to have to use a list. The order is: Craft + Gathering Skill + Mission Skill Armortech + Scavenging + … Continue reading

SWTOR and Sax

One month in and I’m still really digging SWTOR and some of the dialogue is just making it that much better.  I about fell out of my chair when my companion piped up, “Don’t look at me, I don’t know what we’re doing. I just shoot things!”  Too funny!  I’ve got one of each archetype up to level 20 now, and my “main” (Sith Inquisitor/Sorcerer) is level 30.  There was definitely a difficulty jump as I neared 30, but it seems OK now that I’ve crossed that threshold. In other … Continue reading

Post Holidays Report

I hope y’all survived the holidays!  I had a great time spending time with family up in (very cold) Utah, but I’m glad to be back home in the warmer climes of Las Vegas. I’m still very much involved in playing Star Wars: The Old Republic.  I now have at least one character of every class archetype levelled up to where they have their spaceship – I wanted to see what they all looked like.  I think my favorite ship, by far, is the one given to the Empire Agents.  … Continue reading
