My faithful bag companion has a +5 Holding attribute, but a - 15 Fashion detractor, and you're about to see everything! What do you carry? Do you carry a backpack? An awesome satchel of hipster proportions? Or are you a bold soul who carries nothing? If you're brave enough to share, join me on Facebook and make your bag take a selfie at The Command Deck's Facebook Page! Bonus points if you post your bag's stats!  Top to bottom, left to right: Wallet Lock (to secure my bag at work) A notebook A book (I mean...that one is hard :P) A leather bag of change --I needz coffee! Yes, that is an Ipod Classic (5th Generation) --mandatory for my commute! An Umbrella --I told you it had a +5 Holding stat! Hand sanitizer I've never used . Hey, it was free! Lipstick and chapstick. The lipstick is just in case my chapstick gets sucked away into the void (it has happened on occasion). My lips get extremely dry.  I need more pens. I do not hav...

Her elf companion returns and offers a way out, but little does she know that she is walking into a trap. Part I: Luthandra Raikin Part II:  DrĂ¡iden Kaldor III. Elven Tidings Wind whipped the pine trees overhead, making their black silhouettes look like seething dragons with outstretched claws. Luthandra struggled to keep from nodding off. She dug her fingers into the handle on the saddle in an effort to force herself to be alert. He had returned. He had come back for her. The mysterious elf from Adaina Pass had rescued her. "I know of an elf lord, my lady," he had said. "I've sent word to my people, and he's agreed to offer his hand! I know I am but a lowly sword-smith, but he...a powerful elf lord with blonde hair. His blade is unmatched! Some say he’s even more skilled than Avanduil." Between the sobs and t...

Oh Look, a Penny!

Do you carry around a lucky charm, a favorite key chain, or wear a special necklace to help get you through the day? Whether we like to admit it or not, we all have that one "lucky" little talisman we carry around in our pockets, grab before a big event, or keep in a special spot in a special place. There is some part of us that likes the idea of clutching onto hope. Even characters have secret little good luck charms! Meet JFK JR! Elly's lucky fifty-cent piece. Before the big incident of 2012, she carried it around in her wallet. It was one of those things she came across back in 2003, at the height of the Iraq War. Something felt weird and off when she stepped forward to board the bus that would ferry her to the airport. Elly glanced down to see a dated piece of Americana staring up at her.
