[PUBLIC] September of 2007
Well, I managed to go the whole of September without posting once. Laziness or mystery? Sore wa himitsu desu!
In any event, in the past month I've done relatively little traveling -- just a quite run down to New Jersey for a few days, and that I drove for. I've started aggressively seeking a new car, a process that looks like it will conclude sometime in mid-November. Shep and Nina got married, Halo 3 came out (it took me fully six hours to finish the game on Normal, and six hours just this past weekend to finish it on Heroic cooperative with a friend). I've gotten surprising little done personally, but I've been quite productive with all my time not-traveling and it has gone a long way towards releasing what residual stress still lingered after the Netherlands trip.
I'm also running 2007-2, a new MechWarrior game with all new players. It feels good to be doing the planning for that again, and setting up the appropriate story lines. As always, the players themselves are a bit of a challenge to work with, and properly balancing the session to keep everybody involved as much as possible is a still that has apparently grown a bit rusty since I last ran a tabletop. With luck it, it will go well.
