Ran the second installation of my Mage game tonight. There is a baby dragon. Named Ember. He is 375 and is ridiculously, absurdly, sickeningly adorable.
spreadnparanoia loved him. He eats steak and mutton, and he likes spinach, zucchini, and basil, but not tomatoes.
I kill myself, sometimes.
I know I'm being a little heavy-handed with the plot in this, but I'm having tons of fun with it and it seems that my players are as well, and it makes me happy. also I had a lot of fun throwing around Bygones and Men In Black (sometimes in the same place, even) during tonight's game. The players have a good dynamic and they bite on plot hooks the second they see them, and I'm having a wonderful time.
♥ Mage!
In other news, have not written the first fucking word on anything for
kinkfest (IJ). Now that the Gentleman Bastards have stopped eating my brain (oh, God, cannot start writing FF6 caperfic - or FF12 - or anything else EVER until KF is done), maybe I can actually start to make some progress on that. I threw The Lies of Locke Lamora in
wrenbow's general direction tonight and begged her to read it so I can squeal and fangirl with someone. SOMEONE MUST BE ABLE TO FANGIRL THESE BOOKS WITH ME. I demand it!
Anyway. Bedtime.
