Well, hopefully that email to my players didn't come off as ultra-bitchy. I was kinda going for quasi-bitchy . . . but it's words on a screen, people will read them as angrily or as nicely as the voice inside their head that reads words will let them ( Read more... )

My first Hiddenflame game in a really long time was just about perfect. I had fun without needing to lead missions or pull pranks or do anything that required heavy concentration. Which was good, because I didn't have any capacity for such. Didn't have the energy to be as insane as I could have, but an ST reminded me that I had a bit of ( Read more... )

I like her, she seems calm and cool, and she's definitely more experienced than I. Mom was kind enough to drop me off, since I know the North Side of Providence like . . . like I know Russian History. Which is to ( Read more... )

I'm not looking forward to work tomorrow. And it isn't because the job is bad, or the kids are bad, it's just that 20 3rd graders is a bit more than I . . . or, I think, anyone . . . could handle at a time. I was supposed to have 8 to 10.
