If it's any consolation, I haven't been feeling mainstream games like Rifts either. I don't know, I just have been having trouble lately making a game enjoyable for me, while not stepping on other players' toes. And I'm just not energized or ambitious enough to push my way around and make the game mine. I just can't bring myself to put people out for my benefit.
Sure future games are definitely possible, this is in now way a resignation from gaming. I just haven't been feeling it lately, and the more I try to force it, the shittier I feel and the more it tends to blow up in my face.

Oh yeah, I have the Linvala, Malakir Bloodwitch (foil and non-foil), and I think the Stonehewer Giant.

Update: Just snagged a Deserted Temple AND a Woodfall Primus for a dollar each on eBay with cheap combined shipping! So the only card I won't have for my Green/Blue will be the Primus, which maybe I can borrow yours if you aren't playing the green deck, Jason? Or I could proxy that ONE card, shouldn't be too confusing, I'll even print the face of the card out.
So, since I do have three of cards you want, Jason, I'm assuming we should be able to come to an understanding on the Revenant relatively easily. So, all I need now is:
1 Ancient Craving 1 Candelabra of Tawnos 1 Gauntlet of Power 1 All is Dust
And I'm keeping an eye on Candelabra of Tawnos. I have one that is listed in poor condition due to sharpie on the borders for cheap. I can touch that up with acrylic paint (you'll have to see my Necropotence, it looks like)
All is Dust shouldn't be hard to get, just pricey. Ancient Craving is cheap, but tricky to find, since it's Portal Second. And Gauntlet of Power shouldn't be hard to find and it's relatively cheap.

Bring as much of your stuff as you are comfortable in doing so, I am definite that I'll find something I like. I am not particularly attached to any of those cards, in that the Bloodwitch is a 5-of. If it's for EDH, and you don't prefer it the other way, by all means go for the Foil. I don't value it any higher than my non-foil, I will be glad to find obscure, common, uncommon stuff for it. Always nice to have a foil in an EDH. If I ever find an EDH I love and never want to part with, I'd like to make a long-term goal of foiling out the whole thing.
But yeah, I'm going to bring all of my cards and traders, just in case, I'd love to blow up a trade storm. And for those of you guys that tend to be hesitant about trading cards you don't know the value of, I will be happy to crack my laptop open and value out everything I trade, and I don't mind losing a little bit of value on a trade, if it isn't a card I am madly in love with.
Would love to see you Brandon and Troy bring all of your stuff, too, if you're down.

Pondering running Sci-Fi if the main campaign isn't ran tonight. Although would still be perfectly fine. Trying to balance cards and dice since I know some people prefer one over the other on both sides of the spectrum.

So Troy wasn't available to begin with?
Even had I been up for role-playing, social gaming with two player isn't social gaming at all.
And as far as balancing dice and cards goes, don't. If their are other people that weren't feeling role-playing besides me, then disregard this, but if it's just me, trying to balance the desires of one person against the whole group is just going to annoy or piss everyone off. And there going to target you or me with that, and the whole reason I said would I did was to NOT piss everyone off at me.
I'm perfectly happy occupying myself, so in this situation, it's clear how you can make everyone happy. But if there was any doubt that I wasn't being sincere about that, then I pose this: how many unsuccessful attempts at pleasing everyone that completely blow up in our faces are we going to attempt?
Fact: It just isn't practical to try and please everyone. All we can do with go with the group consensus, be mature adults, and have faith and patience that eventually we're all going to do something that we want to do.
On another note, with Troy out, and Brandon leaving early, who else is coming? Bill, myself, Jason, and Florent? Eric? Just trying to gauge whether or not I can bring my laptop and have room to set it up and maybe knock out some Medical Terminology. With the colossal 8 person showing last week, I wouldn't have a prayer.
Also, I am assuming 3pm per usual? If you're starting earlier or later, just drop a reply.

Fair enough, man, I knew you'd understand anyway. And now that I think about it, anyone who doesn't, I can't really help that, so I might as well just do what I got to do.
I'm gonna WebMD these chronic sinus infection symptoms and see what I can dose before I come, because Sudofed isn't doing shit...

The gaming Gods seemed to have blessed us. My schedule has me off, not only for the weekend but also gave me my usual Monday-Tuesday lineup as well. This means garbage for money for that week, but means miracles for gaming privileges!

I may come to complete my trades with Jason and Troy, but under no circumstances whatsoever can I stay. (I am putting my good down, with myself, since I have to study for a major final that week, and I know I'll blow it off, if I let myself.)
Please don't try to convince me to change my mind, and please don't LET me change my mind. I really need an A on this test... (I am seriously doubting my lack of self control)

Good luck with your Final Roy. I'll give you a text to let you know if I have that eldrazi card you are seeking.
I'd prefer tuesday for gaming. I really need to do something to get my mind off things and gaming helps me.

Thanks, I'll need luck.
As far as your Tuesday or Monday goes, feel free to omit or develop and use any of the characters I've created to go ahead and continue how you see fit, in case I unnoticeably manage to tie one to any kind of plot. Have fun with it.
And to clarify, finals this week prevent me from being able hang out more than just a few minutes. My desires to role-play remain what they were. So there shouldn't be any need to base any of your plans for Tuesday or Monday on me.
Well, off to bed, Exam 4 of Psych in the AM, then it's back to studying for this whore of a Med Term final.
