Welcome to the fray! Lovely to see more people here, and I see you're a fan of LotR. Most people here seem to be Tolkien fanatics, myself included. Must be the sheer skill of the great Tolkien. Here, have a genetically enhanced cyborg eagle. It barely explodes at all now!
Um... hi! *meep* I'm Constellation, or as many people prefer, Constel. "Geek, writer, LARPer, fanatic", as I often say about myself, plus many other seasonal things (currently a film director). I've known about PPC for quite a few years now, but it sure took me time to pluck up enough courage to actually show up here. Fandoms (as they seem to be good to list up everywhere in the Internet) are many, main three being Doctor Who (the newest), Lord of the Rings (the oldest), and Sherlock Holmes (the most influencing). Add almost any crime series/novel that exists. Addicted to Internet and chocolate, expect a lot of rambling.
TLDR: Name is Constel, brains were removed by daleks and are used by Sherlock in his experiments with orcs. Hi!
Hello, Constellation! May I present you with a chocolate bunny from three Easters ago? It kind of has a mind of its own, though, so you may want to bop it on the head before you eat it...
Lord of the Rings is awesome. Period. It is so awesome that questioning its awesomeness summons a balrog that eats you.
What sorts of things do you write? I prefer free-verse poetry and fantasy, m'self...
*bop?*
A balrog of awesomeness that feasts on any doubts of unawesomeness. Yay for long words!
I write... whatever floats around. Short stories, long stories, poetry, occasional attempts of scripts. I'm not even stuck with the genre - used to focus mainly on medieval fantasy, but now sniffing more around modern fantasy and murder mysteries. It's crazy how hard it is to write a murder mystery, especially with the ingeniously low writing speed of mine. :P
Have some Tabula Rasa cake! It'll change to be the most delicious possible cake depending on the environment you open it in!
What's your favorite constellation?
I wonder what happens if I open this cake in the 'Tabula Rasa' episode of LOST... Tabulaception?
My favourite constellation is me. ^_^
Who am I kidding, though. Bit hard to choose a favourite out of all those pretties up there, but I'd say Cassiopeia. Beautiful in its simple design. It's also the only one I manage to locate every single time, sometimes even somehow with rather cloudy weather.
Hi, have some fudge!
I've been tabletop-gaming for close to 30 years now (with a few hiatuses), but never got into LARP. That might change; I supported a Kickstarter for Champions Live Action because I know the guy publishing it, so there's a rulebook and customized stopwatch on the way.
Ha! A fellow gamer! What systems do you prefer? My personal like-a-lot is Pathfinder - I've played some others too, but mainly sticking with PF.
Most of the time, I play/run Hero System. I like the versatility of the rules.
I've played AD&D from first edition to 3.5. I don't know anyone around here running Pathfinder or I'd give it a shot, I've heard it's close to 3.0 D&D. I play new World of Darkness on occasion.
If we count convention games/demos, I've played a lot of systems once or twice; everything from Paranoia to old-school Traveller (with the hexadecimal notation on the character sheets).
Ah, I did a bit of LARPing at university. It was so FUN. I'm not sure I was that good at it, but it was so enjoyable that didn't really matter. It's nice to see somebody else who likes LARP.
Also, have a copy of The Monster's Guide to Player Characters, including chapters on: The Devious Ambush (how to make heroes jump out of their skin), What To Do With That Troublesome Healer...and more!
Welcome to the PPC!
Welcome to the Board! Have some of my hydrophobic water to commemorate the event. First produced during a timey-wimey accident.
What's your favourite incarnation of the Doctor? I like Nine a lot.
I'm not quite yet familiar with all the quirks of the Doctor incarnations - most of my knowledge is from Tumblr anyway - but at the very moment, Nine. His attitude towards anything is just wonderful. And the ears. I don't think I'll ever get over his ears. They look like creatures separate from his head that just happen to hang out with him.
Welcome newbie! Since you've been here a while, I don't think I need to waste my words on suggestions to read all the important materials and documents. Instead I'll just give you a miniature chocolate Cyberman and run away cackling maniacally. Hahahahahahaha!!
Note to self: don't tell people you're addicted to chocolate. :)
*sits down and attempts to 'nom' the chocoCyberman*
Lord of the Rings fanning means you are in quite good company. Doctor Who means I shall give you a bowtie. Sherlock means I will ask if you watch BBC Sherlock in particular and if it's actually any good because I'm contemplating getting into it.
In addition to that bowtie, have a lightstone. It glows, it's probably based on some kind of quartz, and I pulled it from a time period in which Karda Nui is active so unless you take it into a Bionicle fanfic set post-canon it'll stay lit forever.
A bowtie? I believe it matches quite well my new death frisbee. ;)
Sherlock, oh my. I believe I've read/watched more of it than it's good for my brain, especially since BBC version. It is good, very good. First you'll wonder what is wrong with Sherlock's face and the next thing you know you're wearing blue scarf and yelling, "MOFFAT". Somewhere in between are also cases.
Ooh, shiny. Did mention I like all glowing things? No? The world knows now, then. Shiny...
People ARE already making terrible jokes about it, so welcome to the party. =P Smauglock Holmes, the consulting dragon...
Glowy things. Might check out. There can never be too many fandoms... right?
Always great to see another Whovian around here; by complete coincidence it's my newest fandom too. Since I've noticed that you like Sherlock, I shall hereby award you with a deerstalker cap. It may not actually help you solve mysteries, but it will make you look like you know what you're doing.
*starts running around* Death frisbee, death frisbee, death frisbee, YAY!
I might have to attempt drawing myself with all these things. Death frisbee!
*Hands Constellation a bowl of fish fingers and custard.*
Well, hello, pleased to meet someone else insane. Not that there's a deficit or anything ...
FISHIES *wild grin* Eru knows how much I love fish fingers...
Something to ponder on: if you and everyone else around are insane, doesn't it already define as sane and insane are those who were sane before? Conclusion: we are perfectly sane, it's the real world that has sanity problems. ^_^
Hi there! It is recommended that you read the Constitution (link at the top of the page). It is good to know you've already left your sanity at the door.
Last but not least, have a gift: a cup of tea. Just don't let the leaves eat you.
Tes, sir/ma'am/[insert preferred title here]! Constitution memorized, sir/ma'am/[insert preferred title here]!
Well, read seven times, that should count as memorized.
A tea. The drink of the gods. YUM. *pokes the leaves suspiciously* *leaves poke back*
I am very much male. In fact, that name comes from a plant. Anyway, that's my speciality: omnivorous tea. Will eat everything and anything.

A cyborg eagle! I believe I have found a perfect match for the futuristic cyborg!Holmes that has been wandering in my head for quite a bit now. *pets the eagle* Here birdie-birdy...
