Happy belated BDay wishes Cal!
Thank you!!
No game this weekend, but last weekend's launch of my new campaign went well. I can tell NONE of the players were aware of the dos and don'ts of Appalachian horror lore LOL. They're terrified of the forest, now.
What's everyone doing this weekend? Oh, and Happy Halloween!

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!
*banjo tune*
Sounds awesome.
Nothing too exciting on tap this weekend. More leaf raking. I hate the sound of leaf blowers, which run almost constantly from now till January, so I refuse to use one. I can't force my neighbors to stop (not without it taking years and costing millions of lives) but dammit, I can at least refuse to add to the problem.
There's a big Halloween neighborhood party that I miss every year and this year will be no exception, since I have to pick my wife up at the airport. So no awkward small talk with the neighbors for me. I'm sure they're relieved too.
Been debating getting my grubby mitts on Bloodlines 2, the long-delayed Vampire: The Masquerade CRPG game. Still on the fence.

I'm a secret tree hugger so I don't rake my leaves as over a hundred species of tiny organisms winter under them.
And yes, each spring I battle them as they lay siege to my house.

I agree with you, but my wife feels they should be raked up. I do spread a bunch of them in the plant beds, both because it's good for the soil and for the wee critters of nature. It's a compromise.

Ah, compromise. The leaf strewn path to Hell.

Aside from passing out candy to Trick-or-Treaters tonight, nothing else out of the ordinary going on this weekend.
Kids dressed as characters from K-Pop Demon Hunters was the clear favorite costume, but I also saw quite a few kids dressed as Peely, a banana character from Fortnite.
That's what's popular with the young folks, today. What's hip. What's happening.

We had a Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett stop by.
That's fantastic!

Scint and I went as Granny Weatherwax and Archchancellor Ridcully respectively.

Meh. It's not so bad.

Sonic went out as Michael Jackson (again), Shanna as some sort of faun, or deer/human hybrid.

Holy crap, is it the weekend again?!
I have no plans. NO PLANS! GAH!
*rapid descent into madness, I assume*

That sounds suspiciously like a plan to me. Hmm.
Playing in a buddy's all Goblin campaign tomorrow. I've missed the first couple of games but I'll be caught up tomorrow. Wish me luck as Buck Damnitbuck makes his Druidic debut!

Waiting for news of if the Ravenloft game is on tomorrow, or off on account of sick DM.

Might be joining an IRL Old School Essentials game, though it's using the 'advanced' (i.e. AD&D 1E with the serial numbers filed off), as opposed to the Basic set. I was looking forward to playing Just Elf...

Call of Cthulhu tonight!
I was told at one point that the setting was the classic 1920s. We are employees at a small private investigator office. I created a young college kid, who was very eager to be there and hoped to learn the trade. He'd be willing to do any task from getting coffee, to doing research, to donning a city workman's vest and setting up cones around a manhole cover to create a distraction. He'd say things like, "Yes sir, Mr. Marlowe sir! Right away! You can count on me."
But then I found out after I finished the personality that the GM has a mid-2000s game in mind, and the PC I described above doesn't feel right to me. But I didn't have the motivation to go back and re-tool the character, so I kept the skills the same and decided to just have him be less eager and more directionless, and his attitude is closer to, "Why not stick with this job and see what happens?" The general gist is the same, just a bit more... snarky, maybe.
And THEN I realized this morning that my college kid doesn't know how to use a computer, because the 1920s character sheet I was using doesn't have the Computer Use skill, but the CoC Modern Era sheet that I transferred to (because it printed out better) does have that skill.
Oh well!

I just got back from my friend's all Goblin game. Imagine you're playing Pokemon Silver on your Gameboy from back in the day, but with Goblins. When we kill something, we hear a "ping!" in our heads and our "bank" is updated. If you attack a boss that has something you want, you can see it floating above its head. It's literally a classic Pokemon game with elements of "Delicious in Dungeon" and smatterings of other anime and manga things thrown in. Not my style of game, but I'll keep attending. It's only fair since he's playing in my new campaign and our friendship goes back over 30 years now. And I had a good time meeting his gaming crew. Everyone brought food LOL.
