If by "itching to play" you meant "praying to Phenax that I can make my mind get through it" then yes I was.
Win/win I guess. And here is a little back story to start off my turn for shits and giggles:
Journal of Saber Idarban, Saborian:I remember the abyss. The cold dark abyss nearly everyone at Murdermachines escaped from. I remember seeing all the lost souls drifting aimlessly.
I remember being one of them.
Back when I was alive, I was a fierce warrior of the proud Saborian race that inhabited the world of Kar Nalish. Me and my pack, it was our duty to hunt great beasts that threatened the tribe. I've fought many terrible things, Dragons, Hydras, a couple of Feral Demons. I sacrificed my life to end one of those demons.
But now I look upon a beast that puts all the others to shame. A beast that even those in the abyss spoke about in hushed whispers, as if they were afraid it would attack if you spoke its name to loudly.
They called the beast, The Voidgod. And they called its lair, Murdermachines.
When I first heard of this "Voidgod", I dismissed him as some fairy tale. But the damned souls in the abyss could not shut up about this legendary warrior. Finally, my Saborian blood got the better of me, and I charged off to test this Voidgod for myself, to see who was the better warrior.
After some wandering around, I found a vortex in the abyss. A beacon to the blood-soaked lands of Murdermachines. I plunged straight in, hoping to find suitable host. Just as I found one, I heard him. I heard the Voidgod's laughter, and suddenly I was ripped away from the host I chose and into another. I still remember the scream of the previous occupant of the body as I merged into it.
When I opened my eyes, my new living eyes, I saw the Voidgod staring at me with a smug look on his face. As I tried to approach him, I fell over my own short legs. Thats when I realized what the Voidgod had done.
First, I was a Dwarf. Secound, I was holding a BABY. Third, I was a WOMAN! Of all things, a WOMAN! The Voidgod then pulled me to my feet, and said:
"Welcome to Murdermachines."
