That's fantastic!!

No games here this weekend. How about you?
Hello, fellow kids! Nothing going on around here this weekend. I'm ill again (I'm kinda tired of this) so I'll just be taking it easy. And whining.
I had to cancel my game because of a migraine that woke me up around 5 am and I've yet to get any relief from it. Damn it.
I've been so distracted with health-related stuff all week I forgot to check out the new monster!!! I love this!
So, the weekend is approaching. I'm running the third game in my campaign. I'll have a couple of folks joining us who've missed the first two games and one player who has never played a TTRPG in her life (or electronic RPG, for that matter). So it'll be an interesting Saturday night! How about everyone else?
Well, we had the first PC death today. I couldn't stop rolling nat 20s. A tentacled aberration grappled him and proceeded to poison-sting him to death. At least he got to firebomb a naked bugbear before he died... It's the little things...
My inner twelve year old is screaming and falling over helplessly. It's an old joke but I can literally hear this conversation in my head, tinny speakers and static included.
^⨀ᴥ⨀^ congratulations! Your mimics have been refreshed with newly trained picken-ogre doppleganger-mimics for a closer-to-raw experience... ...yay...?
Great news that maybe they've identified a surgery that can help with all of that. Crossing my fingers! Thank you!!
It's been quite a week, what with learning I'm a great candidate for bariatric weight loss surgery (just need to attend a couple of classes and lose seven more pounds), possible finally victorious over the 15 months of recurring UTIs, and pain so bad yesterday and today it's actually making me so angry that I'm avoiding personal interactions to help prevent myself from going off on someone. I've been in pain-med assisted sleep since 5 pm and am up now only long enough to eat something before going back. Time to fall back down.
MY GOD! THAT'S IT! THERE'S NO OTHER EXPLANATION!
No game this weekend, but if all things go right the next three weekends will see me GMing one and playing in two of 'em. How about everyone else? Spring is sprunging all over, so outdoor stuff or game stuff this weekend?
Everybody have fun tonight
I picked up a favorite gaming rule book I own on running gothic horror campaigns today. While perusing it I noticed a shallow six inch long scratch on my right arm bleeding profusely. That's either a sign I should run a gothic horror campaign or just run out of the house screaming.
The results from the biopsy came back great, so no amyloidosis...at least not the two most common types, but we're not going to explore anymore possibilities along those lines. Which means more testing for something else I'm sure. Also, my water heater is leaking from the bottom. I turned off the water going into it, hooked up a hose to the drain spigot and let that run into the bathtub to keep from all 45 gallons leaking into the floor. Crisis semi-averted! No game this weekend, but the next game in my campaign is slated for April 11th. Of the three games being run in my circle, that's the only one on the calendar so far. How about the rest of you lot? Big doings this weekend?
You could try writing Twilight slash-fic? **Slow motion "NNOOOOOOOO!!!"**
No gaming for us this weekend. It's going to be record high temps for March this weekend, too. Yay...? I had a bone marrow biopsy today in my journey to rule out various types of Amyloidosis. It was surprisingly NOT unpleasant. I won't go into how it was done for the sake of anyone who might be squeamish about such things, but it certainly wasn't what I expected!
. Thank you. I am incredibly blessed to have them in my life.
Now there's a turn of phrase I haven't heard in a...I haven't...I haven't heard before. Now I want to use it somehow.
We had a first for this group, an all roleplaying session. Usually my friend runs basically a single combat encounter for five hours, but this was a much loved diversion by everyone. Our players spoke to The Oracle of Itea and gained some very useful knowledge and insight into what lies ahead for us. The session was also dedicated to our dear friend Tamela who passed away in 2023 from ALS. Her most memorable character in all our years of gaming was a Ranger named Diana Brownsparrow, and the Oracle of Itea was a devotee of Diana, Mistress of the Hunt, whose holy animal is a sparrow. It was good night and the host, as always, piled on the food he prepared himself. This time it was smoked chicken, black eyed peas with hog jowl, corn on the cob, and sourdough bread. The next game on the horizon, as of now, will be the next chapter in my campaign, set for sometime in mid-April.
The weekend looms ever closer! Who's doing what this weekend? I'm playing in my buddy's game on Saturday, where the players will finally meet the oracle we've been struggling to get to, who allegedly will impart great wisdom to us. I figure it'll be fart jokes, but that's just me. How about everyone else?
Link. Free account is needed. Dang! I didn't see this! How did it go?
In other news, I received a Dungeons and Dragons "Mad Libs" book. This will be a hoot.
Friday!!! Who's gaming? Who's working? I ain't doin' either one! However, my son's band is opening for the classic rock band Atlanta Rhythm Section tonight so I'm going to see them.
We had an almost three hour long session last night but only three players could attend. We still had fun with the party fleeing from danger into a Whisper Gnome enclave where an ancient Cleric and a pretty darned old Wizard gave them the "Help us, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're our only hope" speech. And if they were reluctant to do so, it was pointed out they were all showing signs of a curse brought on by the very land they were exploring. So, if they wanna get rid of that ickiness they had better find the Sacred Heart (thank you, Dio!) and either restore it to its original state or destroy it. Stay tuned.
Let's hope my new Baron Harkonnen anti-gravity harness from a certain discount Chinese company works tomorrow and I get to run my game! How's about everyone else?
*singing along*
No games for me this weekend, but that's ok. It's been a hectic, trying week in multiple ways and I could use just "sit on the couch with my dog and watch a movie" night. The roomie is my son's band's roadie, so he'll be gone tonight. So tonight it'll be me, Archie, and "House of Flying Daggers".
It is a heart. It's for Valentines. Yeah, I know. But I run a traditional Halloween game for my bunch. This is the very thing that would freak at least one of my guys straight out.
That's beautiful.
OH, why is Halloween so far away?
Nothing this weekend which is good because I picked up a stomach bug somewhere and spent all morning and early afternoon here sleeping. I catch those damned things at the drop of a hat. I hope you feel better with much quickness!
Oh, and of course, it being Friday the 13th, gonna head on down to the ole lake to murder some fornicating teens. A cherished holiday, with elegant traditions... The old ways are the best ways.
No games here this weekend, but my buddy's game is next Saturday and with any luck my ACME Anti-Gravity Belt™ will arrive in time for the third attempted running of my home game on the 28th. I will have gone over my notes obsessively by then and probably rewritten the whole bloody thing. How about everyone else?
Thanks, guys. I'm currently angry, sore, and high as hell on pain meds. I've had it with gravity. If I run into that Newton kid there's gonna be more than an apple bouncing off his head.
Wish us luck!So this is almost a week late, but we did survive! What a fantastic session!! I love it!!
With only three hours before showtime, I had to call off my game. My long distance players were already on their way here. I took a really hard fall and jacked up my back and my right hip socket makes a weird popping sensation when I try to walk...limp. Cindy (my ex) is on her way here and we might visit the ER. It's a lovely day for it.
So far so good, my game's on track for tomorrow! I'm even a little happy to see the sunshine.
I tell ya what, if you yahoos want to try Blood on the Clocktower I'll reup my sub to storytell on the online app for you. I am intrigued!
Been trying to get together a big gaming weekend with out of town friends for awhile. Schedules just haven't aligned. When did the simple concept of gathering with friends for fun become so almighty complicated? It's like that for me and my circle, too.
Ya know what I think might be fun? If we could somehow work out a plan for us to meet online and play a one off game. I know time zones are pain the assorted places, but I think we'd roll dice and laugh ourselves silly.
...sigh... Afflictions and bad driving conditions abound in the land of Sweet Home Calabama, and for a change, I'm not the one sick. But one of my players is and two drive over two and a half hours one way to come play. But as some of you know, the southern and midwestern US are now a frozen tundra that if by some chance it warms during the day, it refreezes at night making highways hazardous. This will be the second time I've had to postpone Game 2 in my new campaign, but health and safety come first! THEN the Sleestaks kill them.
I'm the lyrical gangster.
That was awesome!!
NOOOOOOOO!!! I love the critter, though!
It's only Thursday here but the game I was scheduled to play in was canceled due to.....snow in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday. And literally, if you've never seen the uncertainty of a winter forecast, you've never lived in the southern US. Depending on which forecast model you look at, we could get anywhere from three inches of snow to over two feet, mixed with sleet and freezing rain. Some nights the temps will fall into the negatives. When I was a kid, snowfalls and temps like this were not unusual. But there are soooo many people who didn't grow up with three snowfalls per winter and they are freaking out down here. But I'm stocked up on the ingredients for pasta and French toast, so for the three nights we'll have frozen side streets I'm prepared!
It's almost like you live in Arkansas. The school I attended growing up would cancel classes if there was a 70% chance or greater that snow might arrive.
