It will probably come as no surprise to those of you reading that I’ve been taking part in a weekly tabletop roleplaying game for the past several months, but that ended this past Wednesday. Ended with a fun and fitting conclusion, yes, but still ended. I am a bit unsure about how I ended up turning my character into Optimus Prime, however. Yes, I made a sentient golem as part of the setting, but my goal there was more about having a character without clearly defined gender cues. What I actually wound up doing was leading an entire movement of fellow automatons seeking freedom from the long-diluted bloodline that created us.
Also, we set a lot of places on fire, but that wasn’t really ever my fault.
Obviously, that is not something I’m playing this weekend. I’m playing something else. So is the rest of the Massively Overpowered staff, and being as this is our weekly installment of What Are You Playing, we’re going to tell you what we’re playing. And then, if you would be so kind, you can tell us what you’re playing down in the comments. Seriously, it’s always cool to see.
​Andrew Ross (@dengarsw): Ugh, too much work. Between doing some work on my project, writing articles, and research, I’ll probably get in some Hearthstone and maybe Splatoon for the first time in awhile. Go team future!
Brianna Royce (@nbrianna, blog):Â I’ve got Project Gorgon loaded up, but we’ll see. Justin reminded me I wanted to get back into Diablo III, and the new season seems like a smart time to do it.
Eliot Lefebvre (@Eliot_Lefebvre, blog): Star Wars: The Old Republic is still dominating a healthy chunk of my play time. When I’m not playing that, my time is eaten up by Final Fantasy XIV. When I’m not playing that, I’ve got Blade & Soul this weekend. When I’m not playing that… you know, let’s just say it’s turtles all the way down.
Justin Olivetti (@Sypster, blog): Diablo III is heading into its fifth season this weekend, and that seemed as good a time as any to try one of these out. Think I’ll be rolling up a Demon Hunter. Other than that, I have some serious storywork to do in FFXIV.
MJ Guthrie (@MJ_Guthrie, blog): I’ll be putting plenty of time into Lord of the Rings Online (I’ve made a new character I’m playing through with a friend), but I will also have hours devoted to ARK: Survival Evolved. There are two new dinos to add to my family! And one of them is a pooper scooper, who doesn’t need that?! I will also try to toss some The Secret World into the mix, and I may make another Blade & Soul character, so that would mean at least a dozen hours there…
Patreon Patron Pierre: SWTOR and The Elder Scrolls Online, just as it was for the last two weekends… it seems repetitive, but in fact I’m deeply enjoying my travels and adventures in these virtual worlds. Have a nice weekend, everyone.
Your turn!
