So, here I am, waiting for this stupid server to finish doing it's checks, and have little better to do at the moment than continue my role as Captain Posty McPostalot today. However, I have a few thoughts in mind.
1: Gaming. B. has played in, I think, 3 RPGs to date. The first was a home-brew thing back at TCEP 12 where the gentleman running it had all the players as animals, trying to stop some sinister human plot. She, of course, played a cat. The second was at TCEP 14, where she sorta played with
mousecat0 in a game of
Witch Hunter. The third was last weekend during a game of Chivalry & Sorcery set in
Mystic Station Design's Living World of Alquennas. She enjoyed the first two, but it was very obvious to me that she was bored last weekend. Not because the adventure was boring, but rather because of 2 factors:
- The overall complexity of what was going on
- The number of players (10, IIRC, including she & I)
Neither of the above should be taken as a criticism of the game itself, which was well run and enjoyable. Hell, the GM's and other players tried to make sure she got involved and had things to do. But when you don't understand what is going on... well, you get the picture.
So, where does this leave me? The answer is: About to start my own AD&D game, likely fairly vanilla 3.0/3.5 Forgotten Realms. Why do I mention this? Well, I have a few players in
mousecat0 and F. & B., but one or two others might be nice. If interested, let me know. Remember that my campaigns tend to be of the sort where high fantasy & low humor mix. And this, too, is ok.
2: Home projects. I tend to become a football couch potato on Sundays. I am, after all, a rabid football fan. So, I'm trying to devote Saturdays to doing things around the condo. One of the larger projects on my plate is to paint the dining room. The only catch to this is that if I paint the ceiling, I have to do the ceiling in the LR & DR & K. Which is a lot of space. Which means that this will take a fair bit of time. But we really want to do this before Thanksgiving. We shall see. Other projects include replacing the large plastic shelves I currently use as a computer rack with the wire-frame ones I actually want, and finally replacing the screen door. We shall see how this all plays out.
Ah, the server has finished it's checks. Back to work for me.
