Apparently today is National Wear a Dress Day. I had no idea such a thing existed. Doesn't surprise me, just didn't know.
My work calendar suggests that Fri, 16th Dec, is Christmas Jumper Day. This is apparently a fundraising event for the Save The Children charity.

Last night I went out to karaoke with a bunch of queer friends and that was super validating- we got to eat bad pizza and sing bad songs!

CH IS NOW MARRIED EVERYBODY DRINK
I'M HAVING MY FIRST DRINK SINCE THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST WOOO! (Stupid health issues. Why is no issue ever solved by tons of pizza and beer?)
Congrats, Celestial. Many happy returns to you two.

I tried to get Chris Evans to do a "private performance" for the honeymoon, but no dice, I think he's starting to get wise to the whole chloroform and rag trick.
Hold on, I have one more idea...

Congrats! I got you something nice, but I figured that since it wasn't borrowed, new, old, or blue you wouldn't want it. Maybe next time.

Ha! We did joke that we might photoshop Chris Evans and Chris Helmsworth into our wedding party photos - possibly in full Captain America / Thor costumes. Just because.

How could it be neither old nor new?
Thanks for the well-wishes all! It was awesome.

Hi friends! I feel like I've been pretty quiet lately so I'm just checking in.
Kinda sad but still okay news: I quit my Pathfinder group last week. The people were okay, but I found myself not wanting to play Pathfinder (and I found it hard to warm up to the GM's style, regardless of who was running). I wanted to suggest some alternative games, but since the group was put together by some folks who explicitly wanted to play Pathfinder, I wanted to respect their efforts in putting it together and making the commutes to play, and in inviting me to join.
Good news: this past weekend I ran a Dungeon World one-shot for some friends that I'm much closer to. I was glad to finally take a step in the direction of playing games that I actually wanted to play. It was fun! It was definitely a little sloppy, because I didn't prepare very much (and Dungeon World isn't necessarily the kind of game you have to prep A LOT for), but still I had a good time and I think so did my friends. I'm thinking about whether I want to try to turn this into something regular, or if I should just try to do some more one-shots.

Dungeon World is AWESOME, and I'm glad you're having fun with it. It's become my favorite fantasy RPG system. (Sorry, Pathfinder!) The thing I like most about DW is how you never really know how a game is going to go, or whether a major new plot will spontaneously bubble to the surface. It's the best system for sandbox-style play I've ever encountered.
Another LBGTQ-friendly game that uses the same core mechainc as DW is Night Witches, which also looks amazing. I haven't played it yet (I have the PDF that I bought from DriveThruRPG), but I'm really itching to!

From the product description:
"Can you do your duty and strike blow after blow against the Fascists? Can you overcome discrimination and outright sabotage and rise above your sexist comrades? Are there limits to patriotism or endurance?"I don't know who gave this publisher My Number, but they've Got It.

Totally random comment, apologies if it is misplaced.
So I've been picking up leggings (more for costuming than anything else) because we actually had some in my size at work.
Today it got cold enough to crack out a pair.
...so much better than sweat pants.
So.
Much.
Better.

Well, today will be interesting. We have our company's Christmas party. I don't know a lot of people here, honestly, and I'm showing up with my husband. Now, the truth is, this place is super gay. My boss is gay, his boss is gay, so I'm not terribly worried. But still, the first time is always a little nerve-wracking when you show up with a same sex spouse.
it'd be better if my boss hadn't been called out of country for an emergency project. but oh well. I'll survive!
