Haven't really had anything to talk about the last couple of days. So hence, no blog journal.

Received a package from the Abney Park Marketplace today with my copies of the two most recent CDs, "Circus at the End of the World" and "Live at the End of Days" double CD. Looking forward to listening to those, as well as The Cog Is Dead's new CD, " ( Read more... )

I had an enjoyable time yesterday afternoon with the Sunday afternoon gamers. The gaming group re-started (or should that be continued?) their game of the Abney Park's Airship Pirates post-apocalyptic steampunk rpg. Here's the session report for yesterday afternoon's game. You can read about the previous game session in this journal entry. Since ( Read more... )

Oy vey, what a busy day this has been ( Read more... )

I spent a relatively quiet day, taking care of some stuff around the house, and just generally trying to minimise the back pain not to mention the agony in my left ankle and foot. Part of this, I'm sure, can be accounted for due to the cool, damp weather of yesterday, but still ( Read more... )

Got home a little while ago, after a somewhat long day at the office. Long, as in tedious, but that's about all.

Have spent a little time fleshing out the idea I have for a new Change Cage city for the Abney Park's Airship Pirates roleplaying game, set in the Quebec City area. It's looking promising, and I've even got a couple of plot ideas for ( Read more... )

Came home yesterday to find a pleasant arrival in my snail mail box.

My long-awaited copy of the new Abney Park CD, Ancient World, finally arrived from the Abney Park Marketplace. I say "long-awaited" because I ordered the CD at the start of June and was billed for it back then, and even though a packaged and ready to ship e-mail was sent to me ( Read more... )

Had a good day of it today, for the most part. I did some work on the shelves of my den, getting books sorted out, and getting some of the gaming stuff put away, all the while doing some reading and preparing to do character generation for the Parsec RPG with the Sunday gaming group tomorrow.

spross came by after work, and helped me pack up the ( Read more... )

Last night's game of Abney Park's Airship Pirates was quite enjoyable. I find myself having a really good time with this game overall (with some exceptions), but to be honest, I find it a bit wearing to run at times, and last night was no exception though I had a blast with the game and the Friday night players ( Read more... )

December 1st. The start of a new month. And the start of the Christmas season for those not of the atheist or non-Christian faiths.

This month promises some interesting stuff.

To start with, the Primeval series comes to an end on SPACE this month, and will be the last of the series for quite some time, methinks, if it doesn't get renewed, ( Read more... )
