Finally binge-watched "Wednesday" on Netflix.
I have no problem with the monsters and the magic, but the fencing club scene was where my willing suspension of disbelief went right out the window.
Stage. Combat. Is. Not. Fencing.
'Real' (Olympic) fencing might not work all that well for a regular teevee audience, but they could have given her a longsword or rapier and let her go to it...

Oh, no question. As a spectator sport, it's subtle to the point of dull. But the sheer quantity of flagrant violations of the rules, and of etiquette, that would have lost them points or even the match, was painful.
btw, I highly recommend the *other* series I just finished watching, "Bad Sisters". It's a psychological whodunnit and it's fun if you like dark humor.
The first session of the year finished. We have ended mid-fight (in circumstances where it is not a big problem), though I have no idea when we'll manage to get together again in this specific configuration (we played on regular date-Monday-because the regular GM is away, and the players don't have time for the games on other days).
Friends, I have never played any Final Fantasy games. I would like to try, and see many of them are available to play on the tefelon, but they all cost around £13.
I do not intend to spend £13 idly, so my question is, which one is best to start off with?

Why is there a glockenspiel beater in my room with the words 'Sex Bob-Omb' written on it in gold pen? I do not own a glockenspiel, and I am not named Bob.
An Irishman staggers up to the bartender and says "Paddy! You'll never believe this! I just met two other fellows who have the same birthday as me. But that's not all! Their parents also have the same names as mine! Isn't that wild? We need a round a drinks to celebrate!" and then staggers off. The bartender sighs, turns to the waitress, and says "Well, the Murphy triplets are hammered again."
At game last night, we started off with the party heading to a temple to get the Swashbuckler healed up and have the Domination on him removed. He was being carried, unconscious, by the Paladin. As they entered the temple, the following happened:
Me, as NPC Cleric: "OH MY GOD!!! THAT MAN NEEDS HEALING!! CURE SERIOUS WO-"
The whole party: "NO!!!!!!!!"
Paladin: "He's a dhampir. He needs Inflict Wounds."
Me: "-unds. Oh. We don't really prepare that spell here. And none of us can spontaneously cast it. Except maybe Steve. But we never ask him to, that way we never have to know for sure if he can."
Just had a guest come in and pick up their Doordash delivery. He was upset that I hadn't put it in the fridge. I'm just thinking "Dude. It was delivered 6 hours ago. You're lucky I hadn't thrown it in the trash."
